Jones,
I am convinced that the reversible chemistry is at the heart of this phenomena, that the "reversing" force is ZPE and that once the mechanism is refined there will not be a need for six month replacement charges or regeneration. My model is of our 3D reality collapsed down onto a single axis perpendicular to a second axis representing a moving ether and time where this second axis is populated with virtual particles that only grow into physical proportions as they approach intersection with our spatial axis. IMHO the rate of this intersection establishes our reference for time and we are only aware of changes in this rate of intersection by relative measure against other inertial frames that have a different rate of intersection than our own. That is why I say the fractional hydrogen is locally unaware of any deflated or fractional state because from it's own perspective time and space are unchanged even if the walls of the cavity do seem to have gotten further away. I think the normal "pressure" or opposition of matter to this intersection rate reflects the properties we see in the periodic chart but when we start using suppression geometry to manipulate that pressure we are entering into what Puthoff termed "vacuum engineering". I believe we are finally witnessing the birth of this science. I don't think we need to exchange mass for energy when we can instead trade time for energy. By artificially amplifying the opposition characteristics to this intersecting rate we can create environments that act like reservoirs and water falls - effectively slowing the intersection rate in one area while greatly increasing it elsewhere (the Casimir cavity exterior vs interior). I think catalytic action already reflects this concept and that reactants are unaware of their accelerated rate - from their perspective the reactions are taking the normal amount of time. To get energy from this time dilation however required building a trap that opposes this pressure to accelerate. I believe this is what Rossi and others are attempting to do, I think there are many methods to accomplish this once the proper environment is provided, including direct to nuclear reactions but I am more inclined to think that reversible chemistry represents a more favorable interim "runaway" step which initiates the nuclear reactions by creating extremely deflated atoms and molecules. We are even familiar with the key ingredient to this process called catalytic disassociation which tears molecules apart prior to their threshold temperature. When catalytic forces are amplified by Casimir geometry the threshold temperature for disassociation of gases inside this geometry can be much lower than normal. The disassociated fractional atoms quickly reform a new fractional molecule that reflects their very local geometry/ "intersection rate" and give off energy to the cavity and then waits for gas law to push them into a zone with a different intersection rate which will initiate yet another cycle where each cycle is releasing energy and accelerating the process to runaway such as the Mill's powder confirmed by Rowan University. But Rossi and Mills are both looking to build a control loop that switches the runaway reaction on and off such that once the thermal mass is close to disassociation threshold that just a short current pulse to the resistive heater can kick it into runaway while the cooling loop is steadily extracting heat that brings it out of runaway before the next pulse by adjusting the PRF. Instead of a onetime conservative disassociation by resistive heating this scheme represents a Heisenberg trap that can keep disassociating the same hydrogen over and over again powered by the random motion required of gas, which itself is based on HUP.
