Lou, I agree.. although I think Reifenschweiler's observations were for small values of "retarded" decay while most other observations and claims for anomalous decay rate were for large "accelerations" in decay rate, I think the anomalous heat in Aherns patent is more closely associated with the accelerated decay than retarded decay but both properties are derived from the same suppression geometry[large acceleration concentrated in Casimir cavity/small retardation disbursed over exterior surface of cavity]. The decay rate anomalies are one of the reasons I remain convinced about Naudts paper on relativistic hydrogen where he claims the hydrino is just relativistic hydrogen like you have ejected from the suns corona but the acceleration is negative -caused by suppressing vacuum pressure and causing nano breaks in isotropy instead of compressing vacuum pressure via energy intense acceleration of objects to near C velocity [Haisch Rueda analogy of accelerating car into]. The other thing I find interesting regarding these kind of reports is that the decay rate returns to normal after the gas is extracted... it isn't permanently reducing the radioactivity or at least not enough to effect the half life. My thought is only a very small fraction of the gas can occupy the relatively few hot spots at any given time and these anomalies are so rarely reported because the effect must be very prodigious to even slightly effect the average decay rate of all the gas present.

Probably related are Reifenschweiler's observation that tritium decay time is modulated in Ti-microparticle emulsions. especially when they form chains, and (if I recall correctly) the notes in Brian Ahern's patent application that proximity of micro-/nano-particles is an important variable in the anomalous energy release. -- Lou Pagnucco Roarty, Francis X wrote: > On Sunday 4/28 Ed said [snip] The Rossi secret is exposed by these types > of experiments with nanoparticles.
