Casimir Inc, a company founded and led by former DARPA-funded NASA warp drive pioneer and founder of the EagleWorks Lab, Harold G. "Sonny" White, has [announced] the pending 2028 commercialization of MicroSparc, a chip that the company claims uses customized microscale geometries to capture unlimited 'free' energy from the quantum world. "Think: no batteries, no cords, and no charging"just continuous power from harvested quantum vacuum fields," a company spokesperson explained. In an email to The Debrief, Dr. White ... explained that MicroSparc's use of customized Casimir cavities, which his team had researched with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), does not violate the laws of physics. Instead, the noted advanced propulsion physics researcher said their MicroSparc design leverages 20th-century discoveries in quantum physics, such as quantum tunneling and Casimir cavities, to capture usable energy that could fuel small, low-power electronics in the near future. Its technology can potentially be scaled to power cars, homes, or even entire cities without the need for harmful fossil fuels or other greener, yet costly, fuel alternatives. Decades of research in quantum physics and mechanics have revealed that at the quantum level, the classically 'empty' vacuum is filled with "fluctuating electromagnetic fields and virtual particles that constantly appear and disappear." White noted that the Casimir Effect, on which its company is based and for which it is named, provides clear proof of this quantum vacuum behavior. When asked if MicroSparc would constitute a "zero-point" energy device like those featured in science fiction ... Dr. White appeared to agree in general terms.
