An older post, but still so uplifting and relevant, from Jeane Manning substack "Aether or...". I would like to quote from her article, Tom Bearden's statement about tapping the "actual vacuum energy" (of which the ZPE is just a small residual, observable portion of it):
[start quote]: ...Bearden emailed me "the precise difference between zero-point energy" and "energy from the vacuum."
"Zero-point energy is the energy of real particles that remains at the lowest quantum level i.e., absolute zero temperature," Bearden wrote. "It's observable energy, so we can measure it with instruments if we use sufficiently precise experiments. The important thing is that zero-point energy is detectable with sufficient instruments."
"The actual vacuum fluctuations, however, are subquantal and hence not detectable a priori by any instrument. Only the overall effects can be detected."
"So scientists (who are) trying to hang on to their conventional status have to focus on zero-point energy and things like the Lamb shift, the Casimir effect etc., so they can point to actual experiments in the literature showing that the zero-point energy exists."
"…they will have their careers destroyed if they go after the subquantal, and not measurable, energy fluctuations. There they have no experiments to point to, so their peers will destroy them as being 'perpetual motion nuts' or just plain 'addled.'
"But …we are going after that unlimited 'subquantal fluctuation' energy in the actual vacuum itself. There, the conventional establishment reacts with venom and great force."
"However, there is a little problem for (conventional scientists) that few of them realize. And that is the source charge. The charge just sits there and pours out real photons -- real, observable, measurable EM (electromagnetic) energy continuously in all directions, from the moment that the charge is formed. It will do that forever, if one just leaves it alone and doesn't intervene."...
