What mean the "zero-point" energy?



The "Casimir-battery" is the power source, what is using the Casimir effect(1) to make the power. The idea of this kind of way to produce energy is basing the Casimir-effect, where the plates, what are extremely close to each other would stress with radiation would form the field, which would push those plates away from each other. So the idea is that the energy can be created by using Casimir-effect as the power source. 


There have been introduced many ideas, how to make this kind of system work, and one is just pushing the electrons to the electric circuit by using oscillating metal plates. So this might seem a very interesting and easy method in the paper, but it's very hard to make in practice. Here I must say that some people misunderstand this way to make the electricity to the chemical batteries, where the chemical reaction makes the electricity. 


The "Casimir battery" is one of the versions of the antimatter engines, because the virtual particles(3) are created always in the particle-antiparticle pairs if it bases the vacuum polarization(4). So the power system that uses this kind of power source could be very powerful.

if that kind of system can be made the model of it could be the fullerene layers, what are covered with metal atoms, and there would be two layers, that would cover the entire spacecraft. The layers would be separated from each other, and the entire layers would form the Casimir-plates(2), which are covering the entire craft, and create the electricity for its systems. The thing is that the system is very powerful, but the creation of it would be difficult. 


The difference between the zero-point energy system and other systems is that in the zero point systems plates or electrodes are forming the virtual particles between them. The idea of the "Casimir-battery" is that when the electrodes are put in the vacuum very close to each other, the fluctuations in the form of the vacuum are pulling and pushing those plates, and there is forming the virtual particle pairs, what is making possible to make the electricity. 


There is a couple of technical problems to make this kind of power source, and one of them is to make the system, where the metal plates are close enough together. The thing is that this makes the vacuum battery extremely difficult to make in the scale, where it can make the energy for cities or aircraft.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
