Zero point energy on a chip is here.
Dr. Harold “Sonny White”, a renowned aerospace engineer and physicist, is back in the headlines — this time for groundbreaking work on Casimir energy technology and its potential implications for space travel.
His company, Casimir, is a deep-tech startup focused on developing nanostructures that generate continuous electrical power by harnessing the Casimir effect — a quantum phenomenon involving energy fluctuations in a vacuum.
The Casimir Effect: Power from the Vacuum:
Dr. White’s current work centers around the Casimir effect, a quantum phenomenon where a force arises between closely spaced plates in a vacuum due to the exclusion of certain wavelengths of energy. While traditionally viewed as a one-time energy source, similar to a battery, Dr. White and his team at Casimir have engineered a revolutionary nanotech device that harnesses this effect to generate continuous power.
This innovation involves creating a customized Casimir cavity with strategically placed antennas and pillars. These structures interact with the quantum field, causing a preferential flow of electrons that can be harnessed to generate electricity. Dr. White uses a compelling analogy: imagine the quantum field as an ocean, with waves interacting with the cavity walls and funneling electrons towards the central pillars. This continuous flow, analogous to a solar panel but utilizing virtual photons from the quantum vacuum, is the key to their breakthrough.
In other words, Dr. White has found a way to extract usable power from vacuum energy, often described as “zero-point energy”. That by itself is groundbreaking — but what’s just as remarkable is the method he’s using to do it: nanoscale structures built much like the transistors in a computer chip.

He figures that a small generator chip for a phone to recharge the battery would be a $500.00 upgrade.
