Zero point energy will be tapped from the nucleus in the first break-even practically scalable device.
... given that helium is a candidate element for this, and given that superfluidity has unusual properties like being a quantum solvent, and the natural "Rollin Film" which might allow (no pun intended) a tightly rolled tube of metal foil, for instance, to be completely rendered film covered, at near absolute zero, when liquid He is introduced, and given that a filament wound tubular reactor would contain the expanding gas after it heats up again ... a variety of interesting experiments come to mind to test the idea that an active interface with a constrained volume of helium might show anomalous and continuous heat generation ...???
BTW - speaking of so-called 'frozen light' superfluids have been used to trap and slow the speed of light. In one experiment performed by Lene Hau, light was passed through a superfluid and found to be slowed to 17 meters per second (from ~ 300,000 km/sec) - so - if the metal foil above was electroluminescent (like tin or indium) ??
... another variation of 'fire from ice' the "ice bomb" (OU and how ? err... Hau?)
