Unlocking Zero-Point Energy
ฝัง

- Experiments show that there is a real possibility that zero-point energy can be harvested to produce electrical power. Zero-point energy is the result of quantum fluctuations in materials and in the vacuum itself.
This video describes how the energy is harvested, the practical and scientific implications of this, and what the reaction of the scientific community has been so far.

You need to show this to Dr. Steven Greer. He is working to make such devices available to the public. He has great moment and foundation behind him.
Pls upvote, Dr. Greer should see this ASAP
Any "scientist" who hitches hia wagon to Steven Greer has lost before the horse is out of the gate. LOL
the ones that don't, end up dead?
Why doesn't he just ask his alien buddies to do it?
Ha ha. What are the chances, (seriously, do the mathematical propabilities) that we are the only ones in existance in all of the planets, moons, solar systems, galaxies, universes, multiverses, quasars, etc etc etc.and that none are older than 6000 years? Wake up.

I'm awake! I'm awake already! Turn out the lights, you're blinding me with your brilliance! 😎💤
Tremendous work. I have raised this with my Twitter followers so I hope a lot of people will see this very fast.
Indeed I’m here because of you Hans
Thx for sharing Hans. Very interesting indeed!

Thx for the heads up Hans! Ben Krasnow (aka AppliedScience on youtube) has the required vacuum and evaporative deposition equipment required to replicate this, as well as the test gear to measure nanoAmps.
Evidence based science is how many discoveries have been made over the years. Run a kick starter project to build a prototype, even if it turns out to be something other than what you expect, the idea seems worth exploring.
I am back after a year, and I just got to say, please do not stop trying! I'll be coming back from time to time, I'm hoping you can share more videos, just to spread awareness and result from experiments etc
You should contact Dr Greer. I know his team is working on funding these kind of projects with the goal of bringing it to public use.
Well done. You are asking the right questions. In my career, the most exciting events were those unexpected results and what my boss liked to describe as happy accidents. Take the good luck when it falls in your lap. Don't ignore the unexpected results! Don't throw anything away until you have given it a thorough look first.
I'd love to have you on The Singularity Lab to discuss your work.
Very interesting, thank you. The 2nd law is violated under certain conditions in nonlinear optics too.
Arthur Eddington rejected the Bazouky -Zhaboutinsky (BZ) article on oscillatory chemical reactions based on violation of the second law. This type of reaction is currently a corner stone in the field of non linear chemical reactions.
In addition: The experimental results of Dan Shechtman on quasi-crystals were totally rejected by Pauling. He said that there only quasi scientidts nan believe in quasicrystals. Dan Shechtman received his Nobel prize some 10 years ago for his work on quasi crystals. He had the courage to violate a mote fundamental theory than the second law - basic geometry on possible symmetries.
I was always fascinated by the Casimir effect and its relation to the result 1+2+3+.... = -1/12 nicely explained by Casimir .Your experimental work is a real masterpiece.
Excellent work team, thank you!
Assuming this is accurate, I wanted to calculate how much power this would produce. So I did some math.
Assuming that you made a battery like a squared off 18650, you could probably have a 15mm x 15mm x 60mm active area in the casing. That would mean layering 15× 60mm layers together. You said the layers were about 2 microns each, so to be stacked 15mm thick that would mean 7500 layers.
15mmx60mmx7500 layers is 6.75 square meters of space, which, at 70 watts per square meter, is 472.5 watts of power. Now, due to inefficiencies introduced by mass production, not to mention heat management from the current flow, you will probably only get 200 or so watts from a battery that size at most.
Still, that is enough for some serious small scale energy production.
I doubt you could replace the world's energy production at that rate, though. This produces about 1/3 the power of a solar panel, and in 2021 241 gigawatts of solar panels were produced. At that "1/3 as much output" level, and not the more practical output of less than half that for mass production, that would be 80 gigawatts of output per year if you could produce them as fast as solar panel companies make panels. The world uses an estimated 2500 gigawatts of power, so to produce that much you would need 31.25 years to produce enough. Doable, but not really practical.
Still, as a portable form of power coupled with something like nuclear, it could help a lot
Thanks for covering the problems with publishing at the end of the talk. As experience has shown us - experimentation and observation outweighs any theory. This paper is giving the community a result that obviously needs more looking at - especially due to the implications.
Remember, Kelvin didn't think heavier-than-air flight was possible (and he even said this again AFTER it was already proven).
Your quote near the end I am guessing was paraphrasing Heaviside when he talked about using his Operator Calculus: "Just because I don't know how my body digests food, doesn't mean I shouldn't eat breakfast".
Keep it up. Get this information out there more. Somehow getting this effect to show up for the home-shop experimenters is what's needed - something that doesn't require such things plasma deposition or photolithography to create would be helpful.
Material effects like long-term memory and all kinds of things are one of those places already recognized in thermodynamics itself as violating the second law of thermodynamics.
If you read the book “Modern Thermodynamics: From Heat Engines to Dissipative Structures 1st Edition” written by Dilip Kondepudi & Ilya Prigogine that deals with non-equilibrium systems you will find that that's one of the areas that is known by the thermodynamicists themselves to violate that second law so we don't have to prove that we’re violating it permissibly it's already been done by a nobel prize winner.
You need a few pieces to make one. First an antenna element resonator tuned to the CMB. The second is that this element must be extremely thin so it generates a field known as surface plasmonic resonance, but in the microwave. Third the antenna array must be deposited on a field phase separation material called a topological superconductor such as graphene. Finally the assembly must be put in a strong magnetic field that encorages charge field separation. Stack these elements like pancakes to generate more voltage, make with more more surface area and you get more current. The magnetic field across the device must be as strong as possible and assymetric. It works by tunneling and charge diffusion as a very specialized rectifier diode. The ideal metal for the excitation element is a highly conductive noble metal, either gold or rhodium. It must not form a chemical compound with the carbon. A work around is to coat the graphene with a thin layer of a stable insulator.
Congratulations on your inspirational work; the world urgently needs this!
I'm very curious if the media will finally report on these discoveries, when other labs confirm your work. Any guesses how long it'll be until then? This has to be developed as fast as possible to combat climate change. I'm studying nanotechnology and would love to work on these machines in the future, it sounds too good to be true, but the sci-fi nerd in me is really rooting for you and you're team.
Thanks for rooting for us. I've been avoiding making bold statements to the media until we have ironclad published proof from multiple sources that our technology is viable. There is a history of premature press releases about new energy technologies that didn't stand up to later scrutiny. I fully agree that this sort of technology needs to get out there immediately, and it's frustrating that the vetting process is so slow. It's hard for me to predict when the time will be right because there were delays in our first two publications (links given above under "show more") due to stubborn reviewers who attempted to block publication even after all their objections were met, and that may happen again.
@@moddel I can see, how this is really frustrating for you and your team, but I can also see, that this is such a big claim, that it really is very hard to accept. You're research on other phenomena, that are considered fringe science, might of course also incite skepticism, but I believe in trusting people, until proven right or wrong, even when I might not share their views on other topics. You will receive a strong headwind, just like anyone or anything that threatens entire industries (especially in the energy sector), but of course I still hope for the best. After studying your papers for a bit, I now have a few questions, that I'd like to have more conclusive answers on, than I could get out of your publications.
1. Could you use another electrode material instead of nickel for the base electrode to change the current? In your model the current has to tunnel from the base electrode through the insulator, so the nickel electrode would be the decider for how much current can flow. Maybe one could change the material or use different grid structures to increase the current?
2. How did you decide on the error bars of your measurement devices? I know, you used a high precision Keithley 2612 source meter. But in the manual for that device, it says, it's error bar for current measurement is at least around 100nA, only the Model 2635 source meter has better precision, and for your voltage measurement you used a HP 3478A digital multimeter. Can you really be sure, that your error bars are correct? I just want to make sure. Believing your supplement materials, current should be in the 100 pA error range, so if that's true, all good. The scaling with area and array size seems to suggest, your measurements are precise and the effect is real. Still, it would be nice to know more about measurement accuracy or to have way bigger devices, so these doubts can be eliminated.
3. There are nano-piezoelectric devices (ZnO nanowires between two electrodes under ultrasound) with a theoretical power output of 1 W/cm³. I don't think piezoelectricity could be the whole explanation, but it is peculiar, that you used a silica dielectric, which is used for piezoelectric generators and only after putting in the dielectric, the offset current was measured. In the paper it is said, that the current can only flow between base and palladium electrode because of the high dielectric resistance. But is it possible, that a voltage inside the dielectric could have an effect on the electron density distribution in the palladium electrode right next to it ensuring a higher probability of electrons tunneling from nickel to palladium instead of palladium to nickel?
Btw I do believe the current is caused by hot carrier electrons excited by quantum fluctuations, I'm just playing with ideas for even slightly possible alternative explanations, that weren't discussed in your papers. I have to admit, it's very hard to find some.
This will never combat climate change. We are talking about nano currents. Also, the device doesn't work. But if you aren't a physicist you won't understand it.
Please don’t stop what you’re doing and thank you 🙏 for sharing this video. Question everything and accept all results even the ones we didn’t expect. Everyone should make up their own minds up with critical thinking. 🧐 many thanks.
Thank you for explaining this properly!!! I have searched and searched and everything else I find is explaining it in way a magician would talk about their best trick… all theory!
You actually showed the how and why scientifically! THANK YOU!
This needs more views. Gonna try and help spread this more, but I am no big fish :c
Edit: In general. I just want to know why no one is talking about this. I have read the submitted article and gone through every piece. There are definitely questions to be had and plenty of room for peer review, but WHY is no one talking about this???
Why is the scientific community just blatantly ignoring something like this? Is it too good to be true? Most likely, yeah. But the implications in of themselves could be monumental. This needs to be further investigated.
Algorithmic bias certainly doesn’t help when trying to get exposure on this presentation
It appears to me that investors aren't especially keen to allow a technology to develop that could limit their control of a top down supply chain. Ie: exotic middle eastern ancient plant material, refined and chemically seperated super rare radioactive elements, or it's synthetic isotopes. Catch me? I'm with the 99.9% of the world that believe use of super rare rather (actual, artificial or otherwise dubious) hard to get materials. Difficult to make/ solar panels with their cobalt, cadmium, lithium batteries for energy storage etc, for means of a new revolutionary energy production to change humanity are definitely not the correct path humanity should pursue. What I mean by that is it doesn't benefit future generations to govern and limit and monitor an artificial commodity.... and sets a terrible precedent for future generations how to now behave towards fellow humans. We're at a time where we have been living and affected by this system and we've steadily seen the world crumbling from greed and guilt and it's not too late to do something but we must work together and overcome this divisive greed we we're taught and become humanitarians, activists for a symbiotic relationship between humanity and Earths ecosystem. If the technology exists and is quashed and quelled by corporations that wish to maintain dominance, then we've failed. If we fall into a box of pragmatic dogma that robs us of our joy for exploration as it has some of our peers, we have failed.
I haven't fallen into a pragmatic box on things only made true by consensus and I hope that I never will.
The government doesn’t want anybody to know about this it would kill the current energy industry A lot of powerful people would lose a lot of money
Because it's bullshit. Scientists have better things to do with their time and money that waste it on schemes like this.
how will we be slaves without oil and gas?
What amazing, groundbreaking, and thorough research you and your team have done! It boggles my mind (but at the same time, I'm not surprised) that this hasn't reached a broader audience. I feel lucky that I stumbled on your video and would like to figure out the best way to share this knowledge in such a way that it will reach the right people who can create (and potentially mass produce) a practical consumer product based on this technology. I feel like with most of these things, there is a tipping point when there is enough attention that it explodes. But it's never a good idea to let something like this, which has a tremendous potential to do so much good in the world, fall to the wayside.
the big oil companies won't allow this to go public. The will do everything to suppress it.
This is astonishing work.
As a physicist and engineer it's clear that if you don't follow the current paradigm you are ignored both recognition and funding and if there is any recognition it's negative because you are a threat to the paradigm and their only recourse is to attach the person and not the work.. So you are definitely going to have an uphill battle. But I hope you hang in there and continue your work. This is the future.
I greatly appreciate your efforts! You and your team add true legitimacy to a technology that heretofore has often been seen as quackery... I await the commercialization of your device with great enthusiasm!
0:00 Guys from Polish University developed something simmilar last year or so, simmilarly looking but they claimed efficiency to be 2kW/m2 (i would rather say m3 - multiple layers) and nobody was publishing any new news ever since then.. you got my attention Maxwel's Daemon precisely shows what you have said in ifst minute 1:00 and other name for that is simply heat pump. Get energy out of cold by simply pumping heat from one end to another. Making one place colder other hotter without actually changing averange energy of these two places. So simple.. technically car engine connected to heat pump is able to burns oil with 150% efficiency. The only problem is it's mechanical device, its not cost effective
Harnessing quantum fluctuations is the key. If you look at the experiments of the "Star in a jar", you will see that the energy that is produced is huge and the so-called "fluctuations" are actually the oscillations as the particles implode and explode (within a field). This is where the Electrons at the zero point, change through Thermo-dynamic entropy, to Protons. The Zero point is the field which is created, called a Neutron. This is also the same as in a black hole, which the Atom is a microcosm of this.
The 2D model for this as a clue is the Yin Yang in 3D. It is a Toroidal field, that displays the paths of the Electrons and Protons, that spiral into the center(Vortices) where Zero point energy happens. The idea that equilibrium does not support flow in the case of the Atom is incorrect as the Electrons and Protons are in a constant state of motion or flow. I believe this is what Tesla and others knew. Look at the Wardenclyffe tower-it is a torus, sitting atop a vortex. If you emulate the structure of something - i.e. an Atom, you can harness its power.
I hooked into the excitement of various chemical reactions in a quest for ionic fluids and did a series of salt based chemical reactions and after a number of failures I saw something happen one day .. In a round glass tank of hydrogen peroxide at a low percentage with a flat bottom I dropped a product from a series of the most promising salt based reactions that I had done into the center of this tank where I had a small pile of a reactive component waiting where it immediately produced a very small scale controlled explosion that spread out semetricly into a circle of what looked like sparkling diamonds . It was a very nice surprise ,, I produced a reactor vessel with two grids made from silver solder and with one slightly smaller than the other set closely together connected to a multi meter set to read DC voltage as I had planned to use this ionic fluid as an electrolyte. I poured the fluid in and the voltage quickly rose to nearly twelve volts before it began to slow down and I could see that it was producing dendrites or something so quickly that it filled up at the bottom of the grid and was slowly shorting the bottom of the grid out . I started producing another reactor vessel so that I could deal with the bi product and decided that I could work with what I thought resembled a flow battery and just poured my ionic fluid into a container and left it sitting as it was that winter was over and I had to make use of the weather and get my sailing vessel underway and sail it to a more desirable location before winter comes around again. After several months I returned home and realized I had left my ionic fluid sitting in an open container and it had grown into crystals but what I had expected to be a type of perchlorate more closely resembles potassium nitrate crystals .. At the same time I was doing that experiment I was working with high speed switching in a resonant circuit with a 27000mhz quartz crystal to provide the swing that could be scaled up to power a larger coil that I could tune and experiment with scalar waves as opposed to the steam powered device that Tesla created to produce the swing for one of his coils . I had an almost dead nine volt battery that was still producing six volts and expected it would be enough for a test to power the LEDs and compensate for the resistance I had in the circuit. This produced what I believe must be a resonance cascade because it produced enough DC voltage to destroy the LEDs and I wasn't sure what else but It would appear that I got more than I bargained for even if I didn't get something for nothing ....
I’m impressed, I’ll share it. Good job
I like your idea: People were refining the development of steam powered engines before the French wanted to claim the high ground so began studying the thermodynamics of steam as a system. I think you should know your limits your job is done as basic research, now enlist Elon Musk or someone to develop practical applications for your technology then others will be scrambling in FOMO to catch up. There is a difference between skills as inventor, entrepreneur and theoretician and all have a role to play. Also perhaps work on the applied aspects for increasing the output, checking the duration over long periods (years), Rather than wasting time to prove yourself incorrect. Keep up the good work and good luck :)
No argument. I'd love to get a company interested in the applications to do the engineering. It will require substantial resources and commitment.
Please consider contacting Dr. Steve Greer
I am humbled by your discovery ! Let's make this happen !
Legal enforcement of a physical law! That is a true gem! Now, isn't the second law of thermodynamics a "classical" law? It's a description/prediction of a stochastic process taking place between molecules in a classical manner, isn't it? I'm convinced material science is perhaps the most significant, and optical resonant cavities are going to be an increasingly important... I'm thinking of returning to school in the sciences and you've inspired me to examine materials science. Thank you! OH! I meant to ask, the second law - is there a clear theoretical basis or is it something that is regularly observed and the popular hypotheses just feel right sorta thing? It brings to mind the Einstein/Bohrs debates, which brings further to mind Einstein's derogatory term, "spooky action at a distance," which is now the foundation of some very important advances in applied physics.
The second law has been proven theoretically for some idealized conditions, but there isn't a general proof that covers all possible initial conditions. I believe that the main reason the physics community adheres to it so faithfully is that there are no generally acknowledged violations of the second law. That doesn't mean there haven't been violations presented in the scientific literature; it just means that they're not generally accepted. For that to happen, we need to have lots of replications of our work, and a scaling up -- which we're working on.
There is another issue, and that is that it's human nature to believe that you there's no free lunch. Violating the second law may be viewed as having that.
Please note that I do believe that we're violating conservation of energy (the first law of thermodynamics). For our system to obtain energy, I believe it has to extract it from somewhere -- also to be elucidated in the future
@@moddel I disagree that it is human nature to believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch. I believe that the reason that so many people believe that, right now, is because it is a popular idea in this capitalist-domainated society that we currently live in. I believe that most people, throughout history, did not have a strong belief, one way or the other, on whether or not there is such a thing as a "free lunch." (I mean, if such people even though about the subject, at all.)
@@moddel If the second law of thermodynamics was violated, we could build machines that are impossible. That's why it is a law!
Great video - I’d love to see a detailed description of the equipment and apparatus you used for your zero point experiment. you would have a HUGE following if you made more content.
The details are all in the paper published in Symmetry, listed in the description of the video.
Here is why I think zero-point energy is real:
E = m * c^2
c = distance (in 3 dimensional space) / time, or...
c = (x + y + z)/time, so...
E = m * (d^2 / t^2), rearraigning...
d (space) = (E * t^2 / m)^1/2, thus...
A given volume of space must have an enormous amount of energy within it. It is the energy of spacetime or the energy required to create the space of the universe. If everything is made of energy, why not spacetime itself?
Agreed, I think mainstream science doesn't fully understand time-space (aether / ether)
so true about the blindness of some scientists to reject anything not already described - totally shuts down new innovation. also, very clear and common sense explanation, very well presented, very much appreciate you sharing this information.
Look at it this way: Electrically resistive heating has an energy used to heating ratio of 1:1. Heat pumps, however, have ratios upwards of 1:3.5. "Oh my goodness! Are we violating the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics?" No. We're simply operating two separate systems -- evaporation and condensation -- at two distinctly disparate points in a medium's phase diagram.
I suspect unlocking zero-point energy would require a similar approach, where we're pulling energy at one quantum potential while returning it at another. As with heat-pumps, it will require energy to do this, but it will require considerably less energy than the energy we get out. Not to worry, as with heat pumps, that flip side of the equation is that one area of the electrophysical process gets warm, or positively charged, while another area gets cold, or negatively charge. As with solar, which inputs energy into the system via energetic photons, ZPE must have a potential which can be tapped in order for this to work.
If not, well...
You're a legend! Confirm you are not suicidal... this technology is dangerous to the status quo and people promoting it have a history of being suppressed, paid-off, being setup/entrapped/blackmailed, painted as crazy and committing 'suicide'.... but this technology is necessary. I hope you succeed in commercializing it! Don't underestimate the obstacles, but I hope you don't give up!
Agreed, even making an engine that is fuel efficient is dangerous.
well now they have these neat things called ‘direct energy weapons’ so…they can get us anywhere now. fkn scary world we live in.
☠️i am not going to off myself.☠️
Thanks so much for this. Been working on something with anomalous results. This helped.
Mind if I ask what?
Thank you for doing this work, from now on I begin to follow your channel, I think that the reasons why this type of technology does not prosper are exposed in the recent documentary by Dr. Steven Greer, we hope to be close to developing this type of technology for our own good.
I placed a comment here a while ago suggesting Prof. Moddel should contact Dr. Steven Greer, since he has well thought-out strategy for getting such technologies out so it will benefit all humankind. My comment was deleted. 😥 Now, I know Dr. Greer makes many fantastic, unbelievable and unverifiable claims, and therefore may not have much credibility in true scientific circles. I certainly don't buy into all of his pseudo-scientific new age mumbo jumbo. But the part about humanity (and our planet) having a desperate need for such free energy devices is absolutely true. So, if there's any chance he can help to make this happen, I think it would be worth exploring those options. It would be shame to see yet another promising free energy concept being black shelved or killed by those who profit from endless wars and the destruction of our planet.
This work reminds me of the 'Cold Fusion' debate which again was about deriving useful energy but the problem (as I remember it) was that no one else could reproduce it. At around the 30 minute point in the talk, much is said about 'Ubiquitous Power' for lighting, electric vehicles, desalination etc etc. Could we just start with a demonstration of Zero Point Energy powering a simple torch (flashlight) - to me that would be impressive. I don't wish to come across as sounding negative, but if this subject is to be more than just an obscure scientific curiosity, then producing a simple electrical device would seem to be the way forward; that said I wish you all the best in your endeavours.
Agreed about the demonstration. That's our goal.
I desribed how to create a pseudozpe device that harvests energy from the CMB Try and put your device in a magnetic field at a 45 degree angle to the resonant cavity. It will help with charge separation if you made a true ZPE device.
The dejavu…. I encourage everyone to see “The Lost Century” documentary!
This doesn't violate the 2nd law, since the temperature is not uniform. It has very tiny waves that are like uniform energy, which are in fact non uniform transfers of energy. It's just no one expected to be able to harvest these by blocking out larger frequencies. Based on the scale, these are on the range of X rays to higher intensity ultraviolet light, something that should be blocked by our atmosphere, unlikely to occur in the magnitude expected, let alone harvest.
Have you considered that this casimir effect is being used to block out all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation except for X-Ray to UV rays, thus harvesting everything from UV to Radio?
This need to be shared. ❤
Don't die please!
Think of it this way : The "boiling space" is effectively a sea with a universal breeze over it. There is an average wave height and peaks and troughs. Tell me that wave energy can not gain peaks and troughs !
Take the very basic crystal radio from the ground up and your basic antenna and put a Tesla coil in between them. The coil is hollow and gets highly charged air pumped and the ions pass through the coil to generate current. The ground and coil and antenna represent a transistor. And current flows through the transistor to a bridge rectifier to a capacitor hooked up in parallel to other capacitors. That’s a start for now.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!
Even with the argue of thermal dynamics I have no idea why you cannot harvest energy from the vacuum I always thought it was possible. Turns out it is!
Are you in contact with Dr. Steven Greer? He just came out with a documentary called ”The Lost Century” which talks about zero point energy being the solution to the climate crisis. Makes me hopeful for a change 🙏🥰
The second law of thermodynamics states: " It only applies to closed systems ". Taping energy from the quantum vacuum has nothing to do with this law, since all of nature, and the illusion of solid matter state have to be constantly filled up by the closest "reality projectors " , our Sun and the Earth. Otherwise, matter would cease to exist and that's the reason why anything in existence is in an open loop with its environment, and closed loop systems are only theoretical, and at the macro scale. Not the quantum state. I don't know why so many researchers and scientists fail to mention this and or are afraid of the second law boogie man.
Excellent!
The only theoretical problem is, this quantum tunneling device is not a Casimir cavity. But it works anyway, because quantum tunnelling itself is in non-equilibrium with ZPE. Now, Tesla and Moray discovered ‘overunity cosmic energy’ devices based on Fowler Nordheim quantum tunneling, that had output of 50 KWatt. The Born rule is invalid for quantum tunneling (which was already expressed by Gamov’s original theory about quantum tunneling, overruled by Max Born). Antony Valentini also described non-equilibrium qm statistics that violate Born’s rule, but he did not yet discover that quantum tunneling does the trick. This effect can be optimized and on a big scale. Goodluck, and keep up the good work, excellent presentation, and excellent thinking.
Thanks for your comments. I'm hoping to attract a quantum theorist familiar with Casimir physics to help develop a full theory of operation.
@@moddel An excellent presentation on the Casimir effect: th-cam.com/video/12yjbyunRdM/w-d-xo.html by Peter Milonni.
It does not answer the question how conduction electrons are influenced by the Casimir force. First of all: is this force a conserved force or not? Imho, zpe extraction/conversion is not necessarily a Casimir force effect.
That is brilliant work and amazing explanation. Many thanks. What is the current state of the project? Have you managed to secure funds for the prototype or commercial project.
Fantastic video.
All ZPE work should be crowd funded and open sourced in order for the world to transition away from fossil fuels in its entirety.
Make this and the revitalization of the planet our common goal instead of consumerism, greed, and war/destruction.
Once we have ZPE, we can work toward efficient atmospheric water generatorion.
No one should be without shelter, water, energy, and food. These items should be free for everyone.
This is nothing short of amazing. Well done. I think personally that people should get on board and invest in this great invention. I think a great way to go, would be, power a device with this tech and show the world that this works. I have no idea how much this would cost, forgive my ignorance, if this is very expensive. Who could dispute it then. Without people like you where would we be. I hope you get the recognition and investment that i believe this deserves. Thank you.
Great explanation of the Casimir effect. My guess is that nanotechnology will in the future be able to use the Casimir force to generate energy instead of just dealing with the problem of trying to eliminate the effect. Even the laboratory device Dr. Moddel presented looks promising considering what an industrial manufacturing of such devices could produce.
This is nonsense. There is absolutely no way of exploiting the Casimir effect. Separating and moving the plates will take more energy than you get out.
@@rogerphelps9939 I was thinking that on the nano scale it may be possible to overcome friction and for example construct perpetual oscillators, but yes it's just my amateur speculation, it could very well be impossible even on the nano scale.
@@Anders01 That already exists. It is not a big deal. These system can't change the state.
Also, I hate people who think we should care about their inventions. It is on you to show that we should care. If you work with nano currents, you will miss so many mistakes.
The device he showed is already flawed. His device is not in equilibirium, but he doesn't follow all the energies. His device changes the amount of charges on both sides. This will change the voltage. And when he removes charges, you will spend energy (which will balance the energy sheet).
More, please!
As per Vedic science the space is energy and it is not empty as is generally believed. AND ENTIRE UNIVERSE VIBRATES ALL THE TIME. THIS MAKES ME BELIEVE IN YOUR IDEA OF ZPE. IT WILL BECOME PRACTICAL ONE DAY. CONGRATULATIONS.
Particularly consider Casimir Cavity as the source of Magnetic attraction/repulsion? ZPE cavity would explain a whole lot about this fascinating stuff magnetism.
this is great!! you are awesome!
Is it possible to upload a video showcasing your devices directly (the existing ones)? I think video evidence of a measured current and to see your equipment and the devices in your laboratory would be of interest to a lot of people and reduce skepticism about your claims by a lot. Maybe I could even convince people at my university to look into this and replicate it.
Love the heaviside quote you snuck in there. Why should I not enjoy my dinner because I don't understand my digestive system lol
Just, wow. Thank you thank you for your work.
The truth of the matter is that this is not new, ZP-Energy and Casimir effect exists for a few decades now. It's based on the respulsive force, which can be produced by a three layer configuration of materials, with Ebottom > Emiddle > Etop. There're a lot of research on the topic, specially for Quantum Sensor and Detectors. This idea exist since 1948 and the real question is why haven't anybody done anything thus far? Great work Professor! I will search and read your papers.
The result might be explained by the reception of TEM radio waves (which is also in the micro Watt range), but that explanation can easily be disproved by placing Dr. Moddel's device in a Faraday cage, and measure its current. Do we understand the physical nature of 'ZPE' fields? Is it a spectrum of TEM waves, or is it a spectrum of an unknown type of vacuum waves? Can we lower the frequency of such waves in a ZPE harvesting device, such that we can make use of its energy without violating the second law of thermodynamics? I think ZPE harvesting can be done, I agree with Garret Moddel. A century ago Thomas Henry Moray wasn't granted a patent for his 1 KiloWatt (plus) 'free energy' device, because he could not explain its operation and the measured electric output power. Moray's device could be explained by taking into consideration Fowler Nordheim tunnelling by 'cold emission' electrons and a nearby 'Casimir cavity'. The mainstream physics community acts too much as a religious cult, defending fallacies and circular reasoning, rejecting new data that disagrees with its believes. It is time the funding of science will be done as it was done centuries ago, by private investors. Big science funded by big governments is dead! Blessed is our divine curiosity.
They already tested for electromagnetic radiation. They used a mu-metal box and an aluminium box as Faraday cages to shield low-frequency and high-frequency radiation respectively. If it was a radiation effect, you would either assume, it is caused by a higher or a lower frequency, but both times, the current-voltage curve was nearly the same. That means external radiation had most likely little to no effect on the experiment.
@@light8258 That is great, thank you Light!
It's imperative that we really need to unlearn and relearn.
The second law of thermodynamics is routinely violated by heat pumps. Dennis Lee demonstrated his super-efficient (COP> 12) heat pump combined with a Fischer cycle phase change heat engine (80 - 90% efficient) combined, which generated 10 KW of electricity by using the atmospheric heat as an energy source. His demonstration took place in an auditorium in Oxnnard California in1985. The law that Dennis Lee violated was the unwritten law that Free Energy is not to be allowed. Within a few days of his demonstration, his office and laboratories were raided by the Ventura County Sheriffs Office. Dennis Lee was held without charge in jail for a year and then released after his company went bankrupt. Could this be the real reason why the scientific community is silent about this work?
Do you plan on making a bigger device? And what would be the difficulties in doing that?
well done dont stop
Nice work sharing your great ideas. Think of crowd funding because no institution will be willing to support your work. Never give up
I love how the guy states the whole community agrees about the 2° law, then says "if we could just capture the energy... FAST, we could make it" 😂
Danke. Sehr interessante Erklärung.
Bitte sehr
From everything I understand about the physics of this and the 2nd Law. While there is the cassimir effect, you can't harness any of this energy because ir would always take more to unlock it. You'll still butt up against the 2nd law any time you try and get something for nothing.
Maxwell's demon suggests this as well - just by knowing information about where particles are in space, you could separate hotter and colder (higher/lower energy atoms) by opening and closing a gate, and gain energy by creating an energy gradient for nothing.
Even if it used less energy to do this than create the gradient - then you run into the fact that information itself requires energy - the mathematics can be worked out to come out as an equilibrium, which is essentially, if you start the process, it would run forever - but the problem then comes down to information storage, the erasure of the information that's inevitably required pushes you back to losing energy. You can't store the particle information forever in the system, you have to start removing it at some point. That's it. Game over. But you'd never even get close to constructing such a perfect system in the first place. It's only mathematically possible - then it still doesn't work, you come up against quantum physics laws about information.
This is different from attempting to extract energy from ambient thermal energy, which is what Maxwell's demon attempts to do. Instead, it appears that we're extracting it from zero-point energy fluctuations, which don't have the same relationship with the 2nd law. I address this more fully in our third paper: Zero-Point Energy: Capturing Evanescence." Garret Moddel, Journal of Scientific Exploration 36(3) 493-503 (2022). doi.org/10.31275/20222567.

@@moddel Do you think the Stanford ringing bell experiment uses zero point? The bell has been ringing for over 100 years and I don't understand how it can do this. Definitely seems to violate the 2nd law.

The real law of TD is karmic law: you can't extract more than what you put in, in terms of energy vibration coherence, AKA divine Love. That's where the second law theologists are right: you can't extract coherence ( Love ) and give off entropy ( chaos ) indefinitely without payback or consequences. Everything has to be balanced. That's where they are right and I totally respect that. It's just that there a confusion in nomenclature.
I'm a carpenter not a quantum physicist. But in my field I am very steady I can see that you and your exceptional team are the same in your field. But where was Tesla? Was he at all shaky when he was looking for acceptance from his peers? It seems to me that because of the state of OUR planet and the inhabitants thereupon peer pressure seems to lose traction and new tech and ways to use it is very time sensitive.
I believe your results are because your coatings are approaching the single atom monoatomic layer. This is similar to single layer graphene which has been able to superconduct or insulate perfectly. According to David Hudson's work it would act like a sphere, the most efficient shape in nature to capture energy. The art of the covenant contains most likely a monatomic powder. I can explain if you would like.
This is insane!
I cant believe this guy only has 125 subscribers
I really enjoy seeing a more forward thinking approach to zeropoint energy thats also grounded.
Yet it in regards to the email you show here in the beginning; the elephant in the room I dont see any physicists trying to adresss is why must we presume background feilds are in equilibrium?
What strong evidence do we truly have for unifrom backround radiation truly being isotropic, and of that evidence what time and size scales was the collected over
Can we not say that due to reversibility; the appearance of homogeneity cannot be an artifact of out of equilibrium systems renormalizing to the paramaters under which we have probed them?
Is our definition of uniformity a pejorative description that is a product what we simply measure and omit from said measurments?
Even CMB when looked at from the largest models we can generate; by no means is truely uniformly distributed.
Would love to see if your current work could be utilized to potentially seek unbaised answers to these questions.
barrowing zero point energy to generate electricity is my project. hard to explain how i am working on doing it other than using zero point energy as the fuel to turn the generator. though it would need conventional starting but once up to operating rotation speed zero point energy takes over. it is great so many people are working on these projects.
Can you explain how you are doing it?
I think it’s time we updated our understanding of physics!!
i completely believe you it takes lot of dedication
*Search '300 hp ambient heat free engine'. It weighs 82 lbs, turns at 30,000 rpm, will power a car from the heat off a road or a house from the heat off the roof. It has one moving part. They are holding classes on building them now.* 💡
Spare us your perpetual motion machine nonsense.
Brilliant work thank you for sharing. Everyone should see this
Very interesting presentation. I see 2 possibilities for validation: Another research group does replication of the experiment. Or, build a demonstration device that produces more current, more voltage. Both options need funding. I would guess that DARPA and perhaps NASA might have interest. Failing that, perhaps private investors could be encouraged.
I think independent validation is on its way and if all of this turns out to be right, this will change everything. Everyone will be interested in this technology, funding won't be a problem
Thank you for sharing this information. I look forward to see what comes out of these experiments. If it's valid, and can produce a good amount of energy out of this, (like 1000 watts in a 1000 kg system), it would absolutely have huge and imminent ramifications for energy reliability, industry, and space exploration. But even if they don't end up getting much energy out of this system. (like micro-watts in a 1000 kg system), It might still open the doors to the persistence "consciousness/mind-upload" civilizations in the "dark era" of the universe persisting long after even the biggest blackholes evaporate. As long as the invention is valid, even if only relatively small amount of useful energy can be accessed, it would still have profound implications for the future of life in this universe.
I am not a scientist,physicist or mathematician. I am an electrician with an applied skill of welding. I am very interested on the subject of free energy. For some reason I have always known there is a much easier way to get electrical energy. And I believe that eventually each device that we want to power will have its own energy source. Just like what the guys in this video are making. Very good work and don’t get discouraged. But I doubt very seriously you’ll ever get a patent. According to the us patent office this would be a threat to natl security as it would destroy our financial infrastructure. T try here’s been lots of patents filed in this same field and they didn’t get it and neither will you. Good luck
Thank you for the good wishes. We have received three US patents (and a variety of foreign patents pending) on this technology so far. I've heard stories of suppression of other new energy technologies, but don't know of any solid evidence for it happening. The suppression that I have observed is disbelief and dismissal by the scientific community. Although that is frustrating it is understandable for breakthrough concepts, because we need lots of verification and confirmation to make sure it's not due to experimental error or wishful thinking. I think that we'll pass that hurdle, but it's taking longer than I would like.
What is the next step for this technology going forward? Could it be independently verified by a trusted third party? Could a fool-proof demonstration device be constructed that powers something like an LED?
Both of those are exactly the plan. Stay tuned.
@@moddel What would be the best way to stay up to date with your research and results?

It's a crying shame when the largest obstacle in developing any scientific endeavor is science itself. Scientists seem to be the most touchy, egoic and hardheaded people on earth. It's a wonder we have discovered anything.
Thermodynamics is not violated by zero point energy because The laws of Thermodynamics apply to closed systems And by its very nature Zero point energy is Not a closed system.
Very interesting, I have thought about using the cassimir effect for vacuum energy propulsion. Could you recommend the type of equipment required to fabricate these tiny devices, or suggest further reference books? Thank you, and if there is any way to support your work please share.
As you probably know, there has been a significant amount of work into using vacuum energy for propulsion. That involves a different set of constraints and technologies.
Unfortunately, fabricating the current devices requires some sophisticated technology. As a starting point, I suggest that you take a look at Section 2.1 in our Symmetry paper (www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/13/3/517) and the references given there. We're hoping to simplify the fabrication in the future.

This is really amazing work this could really change everything we know about energy and could be the most important thing happened to the energy field from the beginning of the Human history ... I wish i was part of this amazing invention tbh
Look up Dan Winters he's on it
It doesn't change anything we know about energy. It changes what people thought was possible to engineer. The understanding of energy remains the same.
This sounds an awful lot like the Schottkey diode origin, and the Fermi level/barrier manipulation of metal/semiconductor doping.
How can the 2nd law of thermodynamics come into play when one is dealing with an outside energy source (if that is how one may refer to Zero point energy) is my question. Nice work Garret! I'd say just build them and sell them as you see fit, even if it has to be done in Russia.
Its been said, that there is more zero point energy, in the empty space of single atom, than all the known mass of the universe converted via E=mc2. That is a LOT of energy.
One more thing: there is no experimental proof for the hypothesis that the entropy of the ZPE is maximal. It is assumed the zpe entropy cannot increase, such that zpe cannot be used as energy source. It is obvious that sunlight entropy is not maximal (either). What is the nature of ZPE? According to SED theory it is electromagnetic radiation that interacts with all particles, in equilibrium. According to standard QM there is no background radiation: zpe is just the ground state energy of the particle itself. In line with De Broglie’s superluminal pilot wave theory, I suggest ZPE is a spectrum of superluminal and longitudinal electro(scalar)magnetic waves that are received/send by all matter particles. The longitudinal wave output of a particle is exactly its Coulomb field, and the Coulomb field propagation is superluminal. The Casimir force is a force that falls of with 1/d^4 (d is the cavity distance). It is very very small force and in theory most likely a conserved force, so this force cannot be used to extract/convert energy. The very fast action that is required to extract zpe is simply quantum tunneling. I agree with Moddel on many aspects of his general idea, but the theoretical background needs improvement. I would like to cooperate. Congratulation with the second quadrant signals, that is an excellent and unusual result.
It is just pickup on the measurement leads outside the shielding.
It would be interesting if experimental physicists had to publish all their intermediate results along with their final results. You would get more insight into trends.
I think part of the difficulty with following renegade results is that (1) a lot of work is not done carefully and so it can get very frustrating to follow and (2) it is only worthwhile if you have the money and time to do it out of personal interest.
That said, I am interested as to how the observed effect violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Is the 2nd law of dynamics rigorously enough defined to cover cases of energy from a vacuum?
Yes, it is.
Let’s mass produce this. Shake up the establishment.
Lucky for you, you didn't get arrested like Galileo. Babies who never thought they could run won't be able to run.
Congratulations on your work's success. Have you attempted to measure any changes under acceleration?
Should we? You mean to see Unruh radiation? That would required huge acceleration. Or to look for piezoelectric effects? Anyway, no we haven't.
@@moddel I mean to see whether it is responsive to changes in its relationship with gravity. If you let 'charge' retake its original connotation of volumetric flow, then gravity may be redefined as a particular displacement current rather than a bending of rulers. What was originally at rest could now be seen as caught in a torrent, and perhaps it couples to the flow of the environment.
I understand how this perspective welcomes snickers and ridicule as much as the claim to have skirted thermodynamics.
@@pvlis Interesting. There is a Gauss's law for gravity, but I'd think that the energy flux on Earth is very small... but worth checking out when we have a chance.
There are actually two different theories of the casimir effect: the Static Casimir effect, and the Dynamic Casimir effect. The version discussed in this video are actually the Static Casimir Effect. The Dynamic Casimir effect requires the plates tom be in motion, and this is what in part you may be driving towards here. The good news is both the Static and Dynamic Casimir effect have been experimentally observed. The dynamic effect was observed by means of virtual 'plates' created with microwaves.
Awesome presentation and well explained. 👍What hinders you to make a big Prototyp to find investors and to get it into large production? The technology is already used for micro electronics production and therefore you could produce it in large quantities already. What do you need to do so?
Better fabrication facilities and more personnel.
Professor Moddel- are you in need of funding? Thanks for sharing with us - excellent explanation
The only way I can describe this is that since your excluding some fluctuations between the plates, your are creating a localized imbalance. The response to which is the flow of energy until all fluctuations on the outside of the device match the inside. But that will take a very long time. I'm unsure if this device is dangerous in any way to cause local vacuum decay to a new ground state.
In Casimir mirrors experiment has been subtracted the gravitational attraction?
