The Casimir force can either work to expand or contract an object, depending on the shape. It has been shown that it works to expand a sphere. Suppose that it causes an ellipsoid to contract. Now apply a high voltage to a dielectric substance (such as pure water), and the individual atoms will stretch in one direction, becoming ellipsoidal. When the voltage is relaxed again, they return to their spherical shape. If the Casimir force does work first to compress the ellipsoid , then to expand the sphere, then it does net work in both directions, and Stanley Meyer's "electrolysis" device has become a Casimir force driven vacuum energy pump. It works best when no current flows (i.e. very pure water), and with high voltage high frequency power. The power output is directly proportional to the operating frequency, and probably also to the voltage (since the latter determines the degree of distortion of the atoms). The optimal voltage is just below the breakdown voltage of pure water at the given separation distance between the electrodes. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
