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.

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.
