{ science.idea-research: Zero Point Energy

I did some quick research on ZPe (Zero Point Energy) and this is what I think can be used for a story and how I understood it: When you have two objects of neutral charge close to each other by a couple of atom diameters the wavelength of this space is reduced. In "Normal" empty space there are particle-antiparticle systems that appear and disappear constantly. If you deduce the wavelength the amount of these systems decreases making it less populated or emptier, so the outside vacuum pushes the objects close together, is similar to the effects of wind and water in aero and hydro dynamics.


Try this hold two sheets of paper forming a V shape and you blow in the middle the sheets will come together. So in theory this works like basic movement that is power by the vacuum. My application for it will be to use some kind of springs (more on this next)to make this movement continuous and with that movement generate energy. For the springs this is my idea: stuck to the neutral charge objects we need some kind of material that will not pass charges a buffer insulation, and stuck to that we need an object with a charge (positive or negative, lets say positive for the example) so if we have negative charge objects in the positive side of this sandwich (positive/buffer/neutral) the vacuum will separate the opposite charges and the magnetic energy will try to put them back together if u can create a balance and have control over the negative single objects you can create an oscillating atomic machine. This machine will be symmetric and have two sides working at the same time. If all this can be constructed all we need now is to take some atoms and put together a dynamo that will transform this movement into usable energy. Another way could be to have a series of these machines and create some kind of wave that I guess will generate energy by itself. Keep in mind that this is all theory and my objective is to create some basic pseudo science to fuel sci-fi fiction.
I will do some sketching of the system (Ala Back to the Future) and put it here soon.



For an interest read on Quantum Machines GenieBuster has an interesting article.
