[Vo]:Casimir force drive free energy motor

[Horace Heffner]

The following method provides what appears to be a means to build a  
nanoscale zero point field powered motor, a true energy motor:

(1) let two parallel thin plates attract in the axis normal to them,  
the x axis, gaining energy from the attraction of the plates due to  
the Casimir force.  Use that movement, say mechanically or by heat  
generation or by conversion to electrical energy, to do useful work.

(2) Slide the plates apart sideways, say in the y axis.  This will  
cost some of the energy gained by the attraction, but should cost far  
less than just separating the plates while they move only on the x  
axis, because the opposition from the ZPF is base on the size of the  
edges of the plates.

(3) Move the now separated but still parallel plates back to the  
original position by a route that avoids a separation distance  
smaller than the original separation x. This should take nominal energy.

(4) Repeat the cycle as fast as practical.
