DESCRIPTION

The fifth concept in New Energy science that we consider important to learning how to tap energy from the quantum vacuum. This is the famous Casimir Effect, discovered by Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir in the late 1940s.

And that is what Hendrik Casimir’s was researching in the 1940s when he noticed the

weak but very real quantum-induced movement of metal plates he called the Casimir Effect

Page 3: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

The Casimir Effect, then, is our fifth key physics insight that we consider crucial to doing work in New Energy

To begin with, what exactly is the Casimir Effect?

Page 4: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

The Casimir Effect is the attraction of two uncharged metallic plates in a

vacuum when placed parallel to one another at a very small distance (1

micron or less)

Page 5: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect
Page 6: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

Neils Bohr determined that Zero Point Energy was responsible for causing the plates to move toward one

another

Page 7: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

This movement surprised many physicists because generally, two objects at rest in a vacuum have no

way to spontaneously start moving

Page 8: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

To Casimir, this movement seemed to be a “gift from nature”, not requiring the addition of any electrical

charge, magnets, chemical reaction, or use of fuel

Page 9: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

One way to think of why the plates move together is to remember that subatomic particles are constantly forming out of the “transmuting

ether”, also called the Zero Point Field or the quantum foam

Page 10: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

The number of subatomic particles which emerge from

the Zero Point field on the outside of the two plates is much

greater than the number forming in between the two

plates

Page 11: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

This imbalance of forces causes the two plates to move together

Page 12: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

If the Casimir Effect could be amplified, it might help stabilize wormholes because it

creates “negative mass” within a locally defined region of space

Page 13: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

Wormholes are also called “Einstein-Rosen Bridges”

Page 14: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

Remember,

And therefore, if mass is negative, the speed of light within that localized space is also now changed

Page 15: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

Since 1990, James Woodward has explored how wormhole travel might be achieved

Page 16: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

Wormholes would allow a spacecraft to move non-linearly through space,

effectively achieving faster-than-light travel

Page 17: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

The general opinion within NASA and the New Energy community is that wormholes are “more feasible than you might think”

Page 18: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

Recently, scientists have shown that microlasers can increase the Casimir force to usable levels

Page 19: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

And these experimental results are especially important for nanotechnology applications

Page 20: New Energy Part 3: The Science - Casimir  Effect

So it’s interesting to think that we might be able to harness the Casimir Effect to do things

across galaxies, as well as at the smallest levels of physical activity

Thinking about wormholes & space travel is a good way to get in to our sixth physics theory which is assisting the development of New Energy technologies, because this is a technology which can be used to build advanced spacecraft
