Here is an intriguing document claiming experimental verification of the
authors unified field theory (dubbed FFT) and that cold fusion (and a
host of other phenomena) are directly influenced by aether/zpe influx as
well as cyclical based on our movement through space. The full document
is at the following URL, the relevant excerpt is below that;

"According to this theory, the basic unified fundamental field is
concentrated in an almost linear string, which for elementary particles
scans in the surface of a cone.
Analysis of all fundamental phenomena in nature must then be made
exclusively in layered spaces. In our "laboratory" space we observe only
the result of a process, but it takes place in another layer of the
enveloping layered space.
In the layer where direct interactions of particles take place there is
axial symmetry in the disposition of the force (fundamental) field,
and the spherical symmetry of the field observed in laboratory space is
characteristic only of this space.
It follows, therefore, that in the subspace where nuclear particles
interact there is an enhanced field (fundamental, and not Coulomb)
barrier along the string of the fundamental field that is greatly
reduced in the orthogonal plane.
Consequently, the encounter of interacting particles depends chiefly not
on the relative energy of the encounter (temperature), but on the mutual
orientation of the spins of the particles interacting in low-temperature
nuclear fusion (CF), since the axial symmetry noted above is related to
the orientation of particle spin; artificial orientation of the
spins of particles interacting in CF should have a substantial effect on
the course of the process.
Experiments conducted by us showed that even a constant magnetic field
has a substantial effect on the entire course of the process and on the
yield of neutrons in particular.
According to FFT a physical vacuum is not a "curved void," as generally
assumed, but a real material substance consisting of elementary vacuum
particles resulting from annihilation conversion of, for example, a
proton and an antiproton or an electron and a positron.
In other words, proton-antiproton and electron-positron vacuums are a
physical reality. However, elementary vacuum particles exist not in our
laboratory space, but in another layer of enveloping space, and for us,
making observations in laboratory space, they are virtual particles.
Such, according to FFT, is the real nature, and not the formal nature,
of virtual states: particles that really exist, not in our space,
however, but in a space complementary (in the mathematical sense) to it.
Elementary vacuum particles (EVP) and other virtual particles are
states.of the microworld that manifest themselves indirectly in
laboratory space through the results of processes taking place in other
spaces.
According to FFT, all observable elementary particles are systems
consisting of "bare" elementary particles and excited vacuum particles
(EVP) that form certain quark structures. The physical vacuum not only
plays a major role in spontaneous processes of nuclear decay, as shown
in detail in [4, 5], but also in nuclear reactions. The effect of
the physical vacuum on the process of CF has not been taken into account
previously.
Our analysis of the effect of the physical vacuum on the course of
processes in low temperature nuclear fusion has shown that interactions
of nuclei with the physical vacuum are not predominant but that nuclear
fusion itself is a side effect and not the main one.
This, in our opinion, and only this, explains the fact that in
experiments with electrodes previously strongly saturated with
deuterium, which one would think should be the best way to bring about
CF, it in fact does not generally take place. We explain this as
follows.
Deep saturation of the electrodes with deuterium prevents development
of reactions involving the physical vacuum. It is understandable that,
having suppressed the main process, interaction with the physical
vacuum, we also suppress the side effect (fusion of nuclei) to an even
greater degree.
