Disclaimer:

  • I do not believe in perpetual motion machines or any pseudo-science!
  • This is NOT a perpetual motion machine!
  • This is a proposition for an experiment.
  • An experiment can not claim anything before being done, so this article does not have any claim, other than conclusions based on different outputs.
  • I may be ( and most probably am ) wrong about some of my assumptions or understandings, if that’s the case, please help me find out about them and learn.
  • I also do not fully believe or even understand all the details, claims, and theories of quantum mechanics or QFT, these are active fields of study and subject to change, science is not religion and QFT is not a complete theory yet!
  • Personally, I’m not fully convinced that the Casimir effect between two parallel plates is created by virtual particles and quantum fluctuations. I say that to show that I’m not biased towards it. This is still…
