This observation is interesting in the context of the HotCat and Casimir/plasmon effects on SiC, if I understand what you are suggesting with the molecular form (as opposed to other forms). We have mentioned several papers on plasmonics and SiC in the past: http://proceedings.spiedigitallibrary.org/proceeding.aspx?articleid=1329919 ... but these studies usually involve nanoparticles of SiC, and the tube in the HotCat was simply said to be a generic carborundum tube. The leap of faith, therefore is that a typical SiC tube would have naturally occurring nanosized surface features, as the location where the Casimir-plasmonics effect could take place (when it is heated to an IR glow). In this version of events leading to gain, hydrogen embrittlement is not required. The (f/H)2 molecule would be the neutral fractional hydrogen molecule, as opposed to the atom or hydride. This species, even at the first redundancy level would have a reduced diameter but at the second level the species is difficult to contain by any non-magnetic material, since the volume is reduced by a factor of 27:1 over the normal hydrogen molecule. The grade of stainless being used in the HotCat is non-magnetic. Thus - if one wanted to invent a way to slowly release an active dense isomer of hydrogen as the fuel, then there is no better way than to seal up a metal hydride in a non-magnetic stainless steel tube, along with a Mills' catalyst and heat it until a population of f/H forms and is reduced to the (f/H)2 molecule. This could take many days to "prime" and once the (f/H)2 molecule forms it should be used immediately, or it will escape. If you are lucky, or inspired, in the design choices - and your (f/H)2 molecule forms slowly but preferentially at a regular rate, then it would disperse through the walls of the tube and interact with plasmon on the interface. If the interfacial layer between the stainless tube and the carborundum is plasmonic, with the very high electric fields, then the fields will capture and hold the (f/H)2 molecule in place for further reactivity. That reactivity could include the Storms hypothesis of fusion to deuterium, aided by the extreme electric field of the plasmon/polaritons; or it could include further levels of Mills' electron redundancy; or it could include RPF - reversible proton fusion; or several other forms of gain, OR any combination of these operating together.
