Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the paper is the presentation of a new source of energy, the so-called zero point energy (ZPE) of the quantum-vacuum. Same as thermal heat or as ponderable matter have been identified as a type of energy some centuries ago, space is now being identified a type of energy. The advantage of ZPE is its application, because it is an energy source with many practical advantages: clean, friendly to environment and health, extremely low cost, inexhaustible, available everywhere and at all time. It is not expected that this type of energy will be the main source for the future air transport system, which is topic of this special issue. However, if the ZPE technology is developed at a more advanced level, it might contribute as energy source for instance during taxing to a certain level.

Design/methodology/approach

ZPE-converting engines can be constructed on the basis of the theory presented here, which is new.

Findings

In the next steps, the technology needs to be further studied. For instance more powerful engines on the basis of his theory need to build and investigated, although the applications seem to be almost anywhere, it needs to be found out which applications are the most appropriate in the first step.

Originality/value

ZPE engines exist already, but the theory of ZPE conversion is unique and new in the work presented here. It can be understood on the basis of the finite propagation speed of the interacting fields, similar to retarded potentials of Lienart and Wiechert. The experimental verification of this theory is also presented in the article here.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is the development of the theoretical fundament of zero-point energy conversion, together with a description of its experimental verification.

Design/methodology/approach

The theoretical approach is based on quantum theory, its experimental verification uses a design within electrodynamics.

Findings

The new finding is a value for the energy density of the electromagnetic zero-point waves of the quantum vacuum, as far as they can be utilised to operate an energy converter.

Research limitations/implications

The energy density of the zero-point waves defines a principle limitation to the output power of zero-point engines.

Practical implications

The paper demonstrates the fundamental basis for zero-point energy motors at all. Furthermore, it shows how to convert this type of energy into electrical or mechanical energy for practical utilisation in aerospace applications and in many other applications.

Social implications

The zero-point energy of the quantum vacuum is a new source of energy, which is an important contribution to solve the energy problem. It gives clean energy, inexhaustible, available everywhere at a low price.

Originality/value

The calculation of the energy density of the electromagnetic zero-point waves is new.
