One possible energy source not considered is extraction of energy from the vacuum through Hawking radiation. Hawking radiation coming from a phonon generating Bose condensate has recently been experimentally demonstrated that could be producing an event horizon in which Hawhing radiation is forming. In the mesh reactor, the Bose condensate could be formed from phonon polaritons.
" Jeff Steinhauer <https://phsites.technion.ac.il/atomlab/> of the Technion in Haifa, Israel, generates a sonic horizon by accelerating a fluid of rubidium-87 atoms to a supersonic speed. In 2016, Steinhauer made headlines by detecting <http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v12/n10/full/nphys3863.html> the acoustic analogue of Hawking radiation <https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-sonic-black-holes-say-about-real-ones-20161108/>. Quantum units of sound, called phonons, popped up in pairs straddling the sonic horizon; one phonon would get swept along by the moving fluid while the other fought its way upstream and escaped.
