Self-Sheltering Casimir One-Plate Thruster

Since Casimir's Two-Plate Experiment only permits one of the Two “Plates” to move, we truly know that we can alter the radiation-pressure of the Quantum Flux on one side of one plate without altering the radiation pressure on its opposite side. We know do not have to add any momentum or energy to the system to alter the Photon-Birthrate of the Quantum-Flux on one side of the plate or to stimulate emission of the Photons that move the plates. Therefore, since these photons form outside the system they continuously impart net momentum and Kinetic Energy until the plates collide.
One side of a plate will be covered with nanoscopic holes. Diffraction Gratings reveal that Photons have wave-width and well as wave-length; therefore, the sides of the holes still shelter the ceilings of
the holes. As with Casimir's One-Moving Plate, the Quantum-Flux exerts
a net force on one side of this Self-Sheltering Plate, but this time,
there is no Second Plate to stop it. Like a sailboat, this is
non-inertial propulsion in the sense that, it does not expel its own
reaction mass; instead, the external environment imparts energy and
momentum to it. Just as the Sun produces a stream of photons that we
can use for power, so also does the Zero-Point Energy Field. Both are free for the taking.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Possible second line of research / exploration?
Until the Repulsive Casimir Effect is better understood, or in addition to research into the Repulsive Casimir Effect, cannot the Attractive Casimir Effect be used in like manner, if cavity chambers are created in a lattice (say on a silicon wafer,), such that the floor of each chamber is made wafer thin (so to speak) to keep the weight down while the chambers are made deep enough to create a significant depletion of the energy density of the Quantum-Flux inside themselves, possibly leaving space between each chamber in every direction to enhance the effect - so that the chambers would form a lattice of tubes rising above an otherwise flat plain:
Top View: End Elevation cross section:
o o o o
o o o o |_|____|_|____|_|____|_|
^ ^ ^ ^
o o o o Net thrust "under" each chamber, so
Perpendicular net thrust seen - but, is it enough?
Thrusts around walls of each chamber
balance out, so no net thrust parallel to
wafer
Such a "chip" should be relatively easy to make in significant quantities using existing chip-manufacturing technologies. The chips so produced could then be put together to form larger surfaces that could then be attached radially to a shaft (i.e. to form a blade) such that the thrust generated from each surface would act in the same direction, so causing the shaft to rotate - better yet, by controlling the angle of each blade, the torque being applied to the shaft could be directly controlled.

(User Info | Send a Message) | As a small improvement, the flat plain can be created with through pockets (holes)
Top View: End Elevation cross section:
o o o o
++ ++ ++ <--- Through Pockets --+

o o o o V

This would improve the performance of the chip were it to form part of a "ZP" sail.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Tubes would likely be square (two x two plates facing each other), all silicon suitably doped / lined so as to form "conducting plates" - Casimir effect bounded by electrical field boundaries, rather than the plates themselves as such. As an alternative, instead of tubes, plates the length of the base could be used:
top view: cross section:
-------------------------------------- -+

-------------------------------------- -+
| | | |
| | | | <-- underlying framework holding channels together
| | | |
-------------------------------------- -+

-------------------------------------- -+
The attractive Casimir force between two plates of area A separated by a distance L is (apparently):
F = A * ((pi * h * c) / (480 * L^4))
where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light. So, the larger the area and the smaller the distance, the greater the force. Now, remembering it is the floor areas of the tubes / channels that sum to A, while it is the width of the floor that determines L, then it makes most sense to have tubes / channels that are long and thin - as to depth, I can't say. Maybe tubes / channels with low walls would be better, or maybe those with high walls: different chips could be produced with different channel depths to see which experience a more strongly pronounced Casimir effect.

(User Info | Send a Message) | It is very well explained. I wonder if they will be promoted to match. This is very important. Putting into practice. piese auto import [www.all-auto.ro]

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.byzipp.com/animaTime.htm | Scott, DiFiore et all in Italy investigated this using stacks of aligned Casimir cavities without sucess. IMHO Casimir effect is more of a segregation of wavelengths between the inside and outside of a cavity such that a difference in energy density accumulates outside the plates much faster than normal gravity would accumulate due to EM supression between the plates that is inverse to plate spacing. The amplified gravity well distributed over the exterior plate surfaces acts like a sail accumulating pressure - as long as the cavity between the walls is small enough the exterior pressure will constantly drain at high speed into the cavity like a small hole in a sail can whistle with windspeeds many times higher than the ambient wind speed filling the sails, I don't think you will get lift because for every area of lower energy density inside a suprssion zone you will have a resivoir of higher energy density accumulation spread over the exterior surface of the plates.
I think you need to introduce an "oar" into your segregated density fields to achieve any propulsion. The BLP use of h1 & h2 to rectify energy from this same environment using a skeletal catalyst (a natural casimir cavity) suggests that fractional hydrogen forms inside these supression zones, they coined the term hydrino but I subscribe to the proposal by Professor JanNaudts that this is actually relativistic hydrogen - equivalent acceleration outside the cavity walls converts to negative acceleration when the pressure forms a permanent venturi into the tiny cavity between the plates. My theory is that fractional h2 covalent bonds oppose change to different fractional values when energy density changes which results in a steep discount if the molecule is disassociated by collision or heat inside the cavity such that it takes less energy to disassociate then you gain when the fractional h1 atoms bond - you use h2/x as an accumulator of energy between areas with different energy densities - this might be turned on it's head by using covalent bonds as oars and forcing them through casimir geometry while keeping it as cold as possible to prevent disassociation. the
individual atoms of h1 would want to translate to fractional state but the covalent bond's opposition to their translation may represent a linkage to the vacuum fluctuations being supressed between the plates. |
