YES! YES! YES! A rose by any other name regardless if you get there via Casimir geometry or plasmonics but enough energy to disassociate H2 at a discount less than you reap when it immediately reassociates. That is the common thread for MAHG, Mills , Rossi and many of the others all the way back to Langmuir.. I still think the plasmonics are feeding off the geometry but no matter we are definetly on the same page! I think the reproduction issue with these anomalies is only because they are self destructive and have to be throttled way back AND sink the energy away because even a little runaway will burn up in hotspots if not sunk from the moment of activation.

Halas of Rice University in Houston, Texas are at the cutting edge of the nanoplasmonic revolution. This field of study is where LENR properly belongs. These researchers found, as the main result of their study, that some of the hot electrons could transfer into the closed shells of the H2 molecules and cause the two hydrogen atoms to separate, or dissociate. This process, called "plasmon-induced dissociation of H2 on Au," The researchers found that, as soon as they turned the laser on, the rate of HD formation on the nanoparticle surface increased by a factor of 6. They also measured that the rate was strongly dependent on the concentration and size of the gold nanoparticles. The researchers explained that, in a sense, the electrons "do the impossible" because there would be no dissociation without them. Nordlander said. "It is an impossible chemical reaction. The energy for dissociation is simply too large. On other metals, like transition metals, a hydrogen molecule can dissociate spontaneously, in particular near defects and at elevated temperatures. The primary reason why these energetic electrons can dissociate the hydrogen molecule into atomic hydrogen is that that they are stationary near the imperfection in the lattice. Remember what I said about Anderson localization? ...it all fits together. I have the associated source Nano letter if anyone is interested...just ask. Cheers: axil
