I Love Quantum Mechanics

Any quantum mechanics here?

What research has been done so far on using hydrogen atoms at various interrelational wave functions rotating and moving in set synchronisation like cogs to generate power? Ie a quantum mechanical engine capable of directing energy flow inorder to propel a "vehicle" made only of hydrogen atoms.

Asking for a friend.

I'm a quantum mechanic, I screw with quantums all the time. Where do you need this one screwed?
Actually I'm pretty sure that question doesn't have much to do with science, beyond using some words... it's screwing with science, in fact. The emDrive from couple years back was closest to that, but even it would have needed energy (electricity) to propel it, but in the end after careful tests they determined it was a measuring error and didn't work at all.

The emDrive would have worked in vacuum of space though, that doesn't cover anything that works mechanically. I'm also thinking of mining the quantum vacuum, but that's not what you're describing so... No, there has been no serious research nor breakthrough into perpetual motion machines, quantum or no quantum.

@Faust76 ok. Thank you. Em drive but no serious research. Thanks that's all I wanted to know.

Much luck 🍀

A temptation of science,
Is there an equation to go with this question? 😉

YouTube with PBS and Royal Institute are excellent sources.

@Pfuzylogic I like books more. But maybe if I'm feeling lazy.

@KaiserSolze
Laziness is why I use YouTube instead of books.

You departed from anything quantum when you used the word synchronization. Anything that small is hella hella random. What you could do, and it's science fiction is vacuum energy. The space between a hydrogen nucleus and it's electron is so comparatively vast and theoretically full of empty.

@RandomForest nothing in science is random. It's maths. A rock shape created by the sea has maths and you're telling me there isn't maths to how hydrogen electron clouds move. Obviously there's maths to it. Obviously you could manipulate hydrogen electron clouds to be in different wave functions if knowing how. Obviously these atoms can be in different wave functions existing in the same space. Getting the pattern right and manipulating the energy is the difficult bit.

I think I trust the lego guy below more.

Okay, i have lego. Lol

Interesting. I'm sure that at some point, someone with a very strong background in Fourrier Transforms might get around to it.

You are teacher?

KaiserSolze · 46-50, F

@AngelKrish no lol. I just wondered.

AngelKrish · 26-30, M

@KaiserSolze well here rarely people talk about science stuff... They just talk about stupid fetishs.. Or sex or suicidal thoughts mostly! Haha

Well i like your question! 😊
