I think this is plausible, I have read about nano filters being able to filter water faster than normal friction would allow - something about the tube geometry interacting with the hydrogen bond angle such that the water molecules are able to transport faster..and by tube geometry I am referring to vacuum suppression like we see in Casimir effect not the physical confinement which would only be trading of friction types. Again this brings us right back to COE and HUP where I am convinced that, under the right circumstances, these geometries can negate the macro rule that these random forces imparted by virtual particles always cancel out and instead can allow for a vector segregation similar to the thermal segregation of the hypothetical Maxwellian demon. In this case it lowers the friction of transport along the tube axis, In other cases it can lower the disassociation threshold of H2. IMHO Fran

In some ways this is similar to cold fusion research. What FUD could one hurl at it ? - It has not been replicated. - I will only believe this when there are economically viable energy generator. - They have no theory to explain the observation. (somebody kindly check the nature paper if this is true) - It therefore must be a measurement error. - They should stop this research, it is a waste of money.
