Casimir force co-opted to generate free energy, midichlorians not included
The vacuum giveth, the vacuum taketh, but the vacuum doesn’t let you taketh.
TL;DR
- Casimir Inc. aims to generate free energy using the Casimir force, a real phenomenon caused by virtual particles in a vacuum.
- The proposed device involves fixed plates and pillars, with electrons tunneling between them.
- The company claims a net flow of electrons due to specific mode structures, potentially mimicking atomic energy states.
- Skepticism exists regarding the feasibility of continuous energy extraction, with existing physics suggesting it would grind to a halt.
- Potential differences measured could be due to material properties and surface effects rather than novel energy generation.
