What Jones writes above may be "EXACTLY" what occurs inside NI-H and recently witnessed for the first time as outlined in the abstract below. I have been struggling to describe the source of anomalous heat as a product of endless reversals of normal chemical reactions while this "DCE" solution only requires relativistic motion of a single Casimir "mirror" relative to the ether to separate virtual pairs which "create" real photons and real heat inside the cavity. The gas atoms gain a combination of both spatial velocity and "equivalent" velocity caused by heat and changes in Casimir geometry-force relative to gas motion within the cavity. The rapid changes in energy density are equivalent to moving a mirror back and forth at billions of times per second or spatially displacing it at a significant percentage of C as they describe in the paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.4714 . Regards Fran Observation of the Dynamical Casimir Effect in a Superconducting Circuit http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.4714 (Submitted on 24 May 2011) Abstract: One of the most surprising predictions of modern quantum theory is that the vacuum of space is not empty. In fact, quantum theory predicts that it teems with virtual particles flitting in and out of existence. While initially a curiosity, it was quickly realized that these vacuum fluctuations had measurable consequences, for instance producing the Lamb shift of atomic spectra and modifying the magnetic moment for the electron. This type of renormalization due to vacuum fluctuations is now central to our understanding of nature. However, these effects provide indirect evidence for the existence of vacuum fluctuations. From early on, it was discussed if it might instead be possible to more directly observe the virtual particles that compose the quantum vacuum. 40 years ago, Moore suggested that a mirror undergoing relativistic motion could convert virtual photons into directly observable real photons. This effect was later named the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE). Using a superconducting circuit, we have observed the DCE for the first time. The circuit consists of a coplanar transmission line with an electrical length that can be changed at a few percent of the speed of light. The length is changed by modulating the inductance of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) at high frequencies (~11 GHz). In addition to observing the creation of real photons, we observe two-mode squeezing of the emitted radiation, which is a signature of the quantum character of the generation process.
