NOTE: This is a funded company that is a technology spinoff of research from the University of Colorado.
Jovion Corporation of Boulder aims to develop and commercialize a
device for extracting energy from the reservoir of “zero point energy”
that has been shown to fill all of space. The Jovion device would
employ numerous Casimir cavities, consisting of closely spaced metal
plates within which a range of electromagnetic modes are excluded due
to quantization of the electromagnetic field. The harvested energy
would be in the form of electromagnetic radiation and could in
principle be converted directly into electrical power through the
incorporation of solar cells. The POCi funding covers the design,
construction and testing of a practical and scalable energy harvesting
system. The funding is contingent on the satisfactory achievement of
certain scientific proof of principle milestones relating to a
prototype Casimir cavity device as described in a current research
grant to Dr. Garret Moddel, Professor in CU-Boulder’s Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering and an inventor of the technology.
