Jones, I was referring to HUP supplying gas atoms with motion to the same results as you imply for "Zitterbewegung". What is the difference between "Zitterbewegung" and HUP as applied to gas law? I believe gas law is a macro example of ZPE based on HUP but am totally open to calling it "Zitterbewegung". As for the M.O. I believe the fractional hydrogen molecules, and even more so clusters, can carry inertia based on their mass into areas of different Casimir geometry in opposition to the "HUP" or "Zitterbewegung" driving their spatial displacement that effects a discount on disassociating said molecules. From the perspective of a PD membrane I think covalent bonds may oppose translation to different fractional states while hydrogen atoms do not. That is to say they oppose translation from which ever fractional or whole state at which they formed a molecule to a different whole or fractional state making it easier to disassociate the stressed molecule. If it is nature that is applying the stress due to Casimir geometry it is essentially free energy (not OU).
[snip]In 1947 Willis Lamb carried out an experiment using microwaves to stimulate RF transitions between orbital levels of hydrogen. There was a tiny anomaly, and the energy difference found was a rise of about 1 GHz for one orbital compared to the other. This energy is supplied (or detracted) by the quantum vacuum, but there is "normally" no net gain or loss. That changes in a cavity.[/snip] The above is why I remain a fence sitter on the Model-Haisch patent in that I believe they need to create an asymmetry similar to the change in bond state used by Moller in the MAHG and a control system to get the h1 deep into fractional states then let it form molecules which nature will oppose escaping and allow us to rectify "HUP" or "Zitterbewegung" whenever it pushes the molecule toward escape and discounts the energy needed to disassociate. If we can disassociate the molecule for less than the release when the fractional atoms re-form a molecule at the new fractional value we have thermal runaway. The asymmetry is simply that the cavity allows free translation of gas atoms but opposes translation of molecules.

IOW there is a M.O. for doing this, but you may be dropping one important detail - at least in the terminology, and I'm pretty sure we have talked about this before. As a poor speller myself, I can understand the problem. "Zitterbewegung" is the key detail that IMHO needs to be included to fill-out the explanation, along with the Lamb shift, when one wants to explain how a Casimir cavity can utilize "relativistic effects" for gain. This does not require a broad frequency range and it does not require specifying how time dilation operates. Below is from an old post. In 1947 Willis Lamb carried out an experiment using microwaves to stimulate RF transitions between orbital levels of hydrogen. There was a tiny anomaly, and the energy difference found was a rise of about 1 GHz for one orbital compared to the other. This energy is supplied (or detracted) by the quantum vacuum, but there is "normally" no net gain or loss. That changes in a cavity. This particular difference is an asymmetrical looping effect of QED - quantum electrodynamics, and can be interpreted as the influence of virtual photons from the ZPE which have been emitted and re-absorbed by the atom. In QED the electromagnetic field is quantized but its lowest state is NOT zero. Thus, there exist small zero-point oscillations that cause electrons to execute rapid oscillatory motions known by the lovely German word: zitterbewegung; but normally these vibrations reach thermal equilibrium in an ambient range near 300 Kelvin - and are vibrating in the terahertz range, all of which is conservative, but ... The value of the Lamb shift has a tiny mass-energy equivalent, which is about 4^-6 eV = 1 GHz = 4^-23 joules (correct me if I got this wrong) which is not much to get excited about unless you can do it rapidly ... but if your Casimir cavity is an oscillator in the 10s of terahertz (slightly higher than ambient - i.e. the 'trigger') then the gain can (arguably) be made additive and sequential: well, that would be the underlying hypothesis for the Haisch/Moddel claim, as applicable to Arata/Zhang etc ... and the initial (non-nuclear) gain is via ZPE and the Lamb shift and the "relativistic" pumping mechanism. Either anomalous heating or cooling are possible. The more controversial step is how this ZPE depletion then sets the stage for actual nuclear reactions - not as a "cause" of the excess heat, but as an "effect" of it having been released. Jones -----Original Message----- From: Roarty, Francis X Robin - Just a shoot from the hip reply till I get a chance to sit down after work but I wouldn't expect a Casimir cavity to transform ALL wavelengths - the CONDUCTIVE GEOMETRY gives it a dimension (mouth of the river)to draw from, and, like a rubber sheet it draws in space-time from the mouth of the cavity such that the wavelengths don't really change - they only appear changed because now they seem to fit between 2 plates without enough spatial displacement from our perspective outside the cavity - space time is stretching OFF our AXIS onto its own axis (inertial frame)- the limit of the wavelengths affected from our perspective is proportional to Casimir force and how much of the sheet can be stretched into this other axis. It's not a velocity thing where you have to get appreciable fractions of C to effect the Pythagorean relationship but rather the time axis itself is being directly manipulated as in equivalent acceleration which in this case is negative and concentrated from relatively huge reservoirs compared to the size of the cavity such that they are inexhaustible...permanent. The slow accumulation of gravity and normal gradients is sidestepped first by suppression to build these reservoirs and then by tiny cavities to invert the reservoir from normal mass like opposition to this etheric rate to accelerating it into a stream even faster than the ambient rate used to fill the reservoir. This works well with both reports of small half life delays of radioactive gas (in reservoir outside cavity)and reports of accelerated half lives (inside cavity). In fact you asked me about the magnitude of these dilations with respect to tunneling and I think some of these accelerated half life accelerations might be a good experimental way to get a ball park on those numbers. I think this is a very rare phenomena where the geometry, materials and environmental factors have to be carefully controlled because the hydrogen must surf along the strongest Casimir force gradients and be transforming/ contracting into ever smaller geometry--- which brings up another consideration. An object at relativistic velocity appears to have Lorentzian contraction on only 1 spatial axis while remaining unchanged on the other 2 spatial axis due to the Pythagorean relationship of Gamma with respect to the time axis. Equivalent acceleration is already effecting the time axis directly and there is no spatial displacement therefore negative equivalent acceleration should cause an object to contract in all 3 spatial dimensions and appear to be displaced at a distance from any spatial perspective outside of the cavity.... perhaps the enormous accelerations reported for UFO's is actually time axis contraction of future spacecraft returning to their time :_) Regards Fran -----Original Message----- From: mix...@bigpond.com [mailto:mix...@bigpond.com] Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2011 9:34 PM To: francis Subject: Re: EXTERNAL: Re: [Vo]:More on Ni-H LENR In reply to francis 's message of Sat, 8 Jan 2011 21:01:18 -0500: Hi, [snip] > > >Robin, > >When I say gas atoms see themselves as totally normal inside the cavity but >time is accelerated inversely proportional to the cube of the spacing >between Casimir plates I am simply applying a relativistic interpretation to >the Casimir formula. That is to say the longer vacuum wavelengths are not >suppressed between Casimir plates but rather space time transforms to allow >the longer wavelengths to fit - But there are lots of longer wavelengths. The longest is at least the size of the universe (if not infinite). In order for it to fit, the time transformation would also have to be infinite (which would also allow all the other waves to fit), and besides, this doesn't match the Casimir formula, which is based on the size of the cavity, IOW on the longest wavelength that *will* fit. What I'm trying to say is that you can't have a different time transformation factor for each wavelength, therefore you must use the factor which matches the longest wavelength if you wish to follow this path. Note also that any atom in a solid can be considered to be in a "point fault" cavity in the solid. If time were really transformed to this degree, then radioactive solids would all decay instantly. The smallest possible space which may be considered a cavity is determined by the shortest possible ZPE wavelength (the Planck length), since such a cavity would exclude all waves, and anything larger would exclude a portion of the waves meeting the definition of a Casimir cavity.
