US Patent Issued For Extraction Of Zero Point Energy Next
Big Future, Press Release, February 3, 2009.
DARPA Funds Zero Point
Energy
As of Feb. 4, 2009, the company has gone through $200,000 in funding, partially from POCi, as well as from
DARPA and some private investors.
The POCi funding covers the design, construction and testing of a practical and
scalable energy harvesting system. The funding is contingent on the satisfactory achievement of certain scientific
proof of principle milestones relating to a prototype Casimir cavity device as described in a current research grant to Dr.
Garret Moddel, Professor in CU-Boulder's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and an inventor of the technology.
The patent is based primarily on papers published in the journal Physical Review by Hal Puthoff in 1987 and Timothy
Boyer in 1975.
Bernard Haisch, who is a co-inventor, is quick to point out that this is all purely speculative
at this point and that they have not yet been able to prove anything in the laboratory. The sporadic signals they have
seen can't be ruled out as experimental error.
That said, the model is still "well worth pursuing".
It is a "high risk / high gain" venture, he said, wanting to avoid the common mistake of overselling and under-delivering.
They are presently (as of Feb. 4, 2009) looking for major funding of around $10 million to carry out more sophisticated
testing.
Patent Description
A system is disclosed for converting
energy from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum available at any point in the universe to usable energy in the form of heat,
electricity, mechanical energy or other forms of power. By suppressing electromagnetic quantum vacuum energy at appropriate
frequencies a change may be effected in the electron energy levels which will result in the emission or release of energy.
Mode suppression of electromagnetic quantum vacuum radiation is known to take place in Casimir cavities. A Casimir
cavity refers to any region in which electromagnetic modes are suppressed or restricted.
When atoms enter into
suitable micro Casimir cavities a decrease in the orbital energies of electrons in atoms will thus occur. Such
energy
will be captured in the claimed devices. Upon emergence form such micro Casimir cavities the atoms will be re-energized by
the ambient electromagnetic quantum vacuum. In this way energy is extracted locally and replenished globally from and by the
electromagnetic quantum vacuum. This process may be repeated an unlimited number of times.
This process is also
consistent with the conservation of energy in that all usable energy does come at the expense of the energy content of the
electromagnetic quantum vacuum.
Similar effects may be produced by acting upon molecular bonds.
Devices are
described in which gas is recycled through a multiplicity of Casimir cavities. The disclosed devices are scalable in size
and energy output for applications ranging from replacements for small batteries to power plant sized generators of electricity.
A 10cm X 10 cm parallel plates separated by 10 micron non-conducting strips aligned to form 5000 Casimir strips.
Gas flow rate of 10 cm/second would generate 21-210 watts. A stacked set of 10 or more layers could yield 210 to
2100 watts (thermal)
for a 10X10X10 cm block.
A one cubic centimeter "sugar cube" size block with
1.3 billion tunnels would generate 2150 to 21500 watts (thermal). The 0.1 micron tunnels could be assembled a layer at
a time using microchip lithography and then assembled into stacks. Other means of manufacturing the channels could be possible.

Jovion plans to use MEMS devices or polymer sheets to form the small Casimir cavities.

Qualifications/Background] Interpretation
Francis Roarty believes and writes that the Jovion work is closely related
to Blacklight Powers Hydrinos. Francis also wrote up his description at the science blog.
Francis seems to at least
have read the work of Blacklight Power and the University of Colorado researcher at Jovion closely. They are both talking
about reducing electron orbits using previously unknown means.
The reasons being given about how these changes
are occurring are very different. The University of Colorado reasoning is based on quantum mechanics while Blacklight Power
applies a variation on classical mechanics.
The physical result of energy production can end up being the same
even if only one of the explanations is right. The experiments could work even if both explanations are substantially wrong
or incomplete.
