Casimir force co-opted to generate free energy, midichlorians not included
Summary
A company named Casimir Inc. announced it has raised money to develop a device that aims to produce free, continuous energy using a physical effect called the Casimir force. This force comes from tiny particles that pop in and out of existence in empty space, causing pressure between closely spaced metal plates. The company hopes to convert this force into usable energy through a special design involving fixed plates and quantum tunneling of electrons.Key Facts
- Casimir Inc. recently revealed itself and secured funding from investors interested in free energy.
- The company previously worked on a technology called the WTF thruster EM-drive, which aimed to convert electricity directly into thrust.
- The Casimir force arises from virtual particles in a vacuum creating pressure between two metal plates placed very close to each other.
- Normally, the plates move together due to this force, releasing some energy, but moving them apart costs the same amount, so no net energy is gained.
- Casimir Inc.’s idea uses fixed plates with tiny pillars in between, connected to an electrical load, to continuously harvest energy.
- Their design depends on quantum tunneling, where electrons move across barriers in a way that might favor one direction, potentially producing energy.
- The company proposes that the energy states involved are similar to those found in a hydrogen atom, which could cause electrons to move from higher to lower energy states.
- Detailed technical explanations and independent verification of the concept have not yet been provided.
