Speculation from NASA's recent Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), suggests that it should be possible to extract about 20 times more energy from the Zero Point Field, per unit of surface area on earth, than can be derived from solar energy -- approximately 20 kilowatts per square meter -- 24 hours per day.



Zero Point Energy, (ZPE), has been investigated as a potential power source since a 1984 paper, by the late Dr. Robert Forward, (formerly a physicist at Hughes Aircraft), appeared in Physical Review, perhaps the most prestigious refereed journal in the physical sciences. ZPE is abundantly present everywhere in the universe. The Nobel physicist, Richard Feynman, once remarked that enough was present in the volume contained in a coffee cup to boil the oceans of the earth. ZPE is being investigated, in a NASA program, for interstellar spacecraft power and propulsion.

Max Planck first wrote about what is now called the Zero Point Field in 1912. Early in the 20th Century, papers by Milonnii, Einstein and Dirac discussed Zero Point Energy. A forthcoming book is entitled: Zero Point Energy: Fuel of the Future, by Thomas Valone.

Some or all of the above may be familiar to most viewers of this site, and most is credited to publications by Valone. The status of the world energy picture suggests it deserves renewed attention.
