| ZP OWER C ORPORATION PAGE OF 352 Z ERO P OINT E NERGY dictates that the vacuum is devoid not only of matter but of energy. But quantum mechanics often seems to depart from commonsense It would have been nice had this comment led in the article into the potential technological implications of the experiment. But alas, no Seife quoted University of Sussex physicist, Malcolm Boshier: This is one of those experiments that is going to windup in all of the textbooks Malcolm W. Brown’s story in the New York Times (January 21. 1997, Cl, C, was titled. Physicists Confirm the Power of Nothing, Measuring Force of Quantum Foam However. Mr. Brown, as usual, ignored the technological implications In favor of outlandish concepts having to do with theoretical cosmology. First off his pen was, "something might cause the present day universal vacuum to collapse into a different vacuum of lower energy. The effect, propagating at the speed of light, would be the annihilation of all matter in the universe. There would be no warning for humankind the earth and all its inhabitants would simply cease to exist at the instant the collapsing vacuum reached the planet Brown quoted cosmologist Dr. Michael Turner of Fermilab: The energy of the vacuum remains one of the deep mysteries of science. We know from quantum mechanics that it is not empty. We have much to learn Indeed Strangely, these cosmology-obsessed people (I confess, I used to be one of them) do not even think of the implications for over-unity devices. Fortunately, others have been thinking of such devices. Air Force scientist Franklin B. Meade, Jr. and his colleague Jack Nachamkin have just been awarded a US. patent (#5,590,031) fora device to capture zero-point radiation. It employs the novel approach of capturing the beat-frequency radiation of zero point radiation frequencies. The patent is a highly significant one. Note the key connection to the Lamoreaux experiment in these words from the patent abstract A system is disclosed for converting high frequency zero point electromagnetic radiation energy to electrical energy. The system includes a pair of dielectric structures which are positioned proximal to each other and which receive incident zero point electromagnetic radiation. The volumetric sizes of the structures are selected so that they resonate at a frequency of the incident radiation. The volumetric sizes of the structures are also slightly different so that the secondary radiation emitted therefrom at resonance interfere with each other producing a beat frequency radiation which is at a much lower frequency than that of the incident radiation and which is amenable to conversion to electrical energy Note well the comment in the patent The Size of the structures are preferably miniaturized in order to produce greater amounts of energy from a system located within a space or area of a given size. In this regard, the smaller the size of the receiving structures, the greater the amount of energy that can be produced by the system of the present invention |
