Zero Point Energy

Been curious about ZPE since I heard of it, watched some of Hutchison's videos and was amazed/incredibly skeptical. Heard him throw around the term a few times. He seems kind of like the person that either stumbled across something incredible, or he's faking it for publicity. Also saw this video. (youtube.com/watch?v=YKfFt9aS9dc) messaged him on facebook about it, and got no reply.
So, Veeky Forums... Zero point energy. A falsehood, or a possibly groundbreaking discovery?
(If it's the latter, I wouldn't complain if there were a few explanations thrown around. I'm not the brightest.)

Where is the video of this device being tested objectively? If you have an honest to god ZPE generator, simply have it tested at a university by being locked in a room by university faculty while being livestreamed on the internet and have it power those lightbulbs for one whole week.

This is just absurd quackery.

Then what about zpe, disregarding the experiments I described. Broadly, what is it?

It's both
all known science points to it being bullshit, but it he managed to create a ZPE generator through cockdickery bullshit, it will revolutionize absolutely fucking everything

The thing about ZPE is that you shouldn't be able to harness it to do any work.

If he actually made ZPE function then the man's a god and solved the Heat Death of the universe for us.

A meme.

There comes a point where science meets genesis.
You will see that the man was drawing from the left hand of God. Magic is returning to Gaia.
/x/ was right.
-----------------------------
Long after their ashes were burnt in the inquisition, their blood soaked into the earth and fertilised the trees once more, waiting for the time to return.

It all began with the return of their precious music.

First the pixies were reborn as pixels.

Then the Golems came back to fruition...

Then the Wizards regained their powers of illusion magic~

Then the sourcerors refound their stones.

Then returned the great and destructive schools of fire and lightning! Their abillity to travel long distances without a presence...conversing without the need for a physical real all flooding back!

And soon the mages shall regain their ultimate power. Their coveted pets, their familiars, the return of the magical beasts of lore.

And then...then at last the return of the great flying cites of yore.

The floating kingdoms of Zeal, Lemuria, Mu and Shamballa~ The great societies of the people in the sky!

All has been seen in the oracles eye.
Hear the passion in her lullabye.

>it will revolutionize absolutely fucking everything
Hutchison has been at this for the better part of the last few decades, if he were actually on to something one of a few things would have happened by now.
1) Him or someone else would have became the worlds first trillionare by selling ZPE devices.
2) The government would have killed him
3) Nasa (among other people) would be using this technology
None of those have happened or even gotten close to happening, so its weapons grade blognaium.

Zed PM from SGA anyone??

Option 4:
>Government delegitimizes his efforts by threatening to kill him if he even mentions the device to anyone outside of a mongolian bee husbandry forum.

His shit is all over the internet, they had a special on discovery channel about him a while back that essentially debunked all his shit. If that were the case he would be long dead by now. Like other anons have said he should have his shit peer reviewed. Even if its not about money he would have to be a total asshole to not release technology that could help the vast majority of people on earth and maybe even save lives. The reason he hasnt done it is because its all horse shit.

>Maybe even save lives

Dude if ZPE were usable it'd immediately bump us to like a K2 civilization from the discovery of how to use it.

go to bed mom

Don't even kid yourself K3 if even half the claims of zero pointers are true. Fucking all pervasive energy that is wherever there is spacetime? Time to colonize the known fucking universe wtf

dude's video is annoying

best ZPE youtube hoaxer execution ever, which seems needless

>/x/ was right
Stopped reading

Take a look Patrick J. Kelly's ebook and web. It will certainly help you on your research.

You mean the gravity gun?

/thread
oreganospice

residual energy of a particle that has reached absolute zero. ie: you cool an Fe atom to absolute zero and you would still observe vibrational motion of the nuclei

Anyone that tells you, that you can harness this energy is a fucking retard. You'd get more energy from a battery than removing the pathetic amount of joules left in this vibrational state, not to mention the energy wasted even getting down to this temp

>Largest calculated energy source in existence
>pathetic

>Ground level
>Energy source
No.

not an argument

I thought it was the energy of a rigid rotter at a quantum number of zero?

>not an argument
It actually was.

I thought ZPE was about virtual particles popping in and out of existence or something

In quantum field theory the ground state of a field can be seen as having virtual particles popping in and out of existence, yes.

where user described an atom, think of the vacuum, try and remove everything you can from it, eventually you reach a point where you cant remove anything else from the vacuum, but there will still be some energy left which can be modeled as virtual particles that keep forming, or as the minimum strength field possible. (Virtual particles are just terms in the field that you get when Taylor expanding it)

Thanks for clarifying that
I know those virtual particles are proved to exist
Is there any idea about how to extract energy from them?

you cant, not even theoretically. its the lowest possible energy state, there is nothing lower for the system to go to if you were able to extract energy from it.

>Hutchison
garbage, ignore on sight

this, and coming from someone that tries to be as open minded as possible

He is definitely faking it, here's how

It's not even psuedo science, Zero point energy is a made up fantasy from Disney's "Incredibles" . Please stop.

>Zero point energy is a made up fantasy from Disney's "Incredibles"
at least be a bit more realistic.

>"rational"wiki

The videos on the effect are mildly entertaining, but the total lack of reproducible results tells you all you need to know.

There's nothing wrong with following fringe research-i poke my head on the warp drive/emdrive experimenters all the time, it's interesting stuff and ultimately just harmless people tooling around for fun, but the odds of any of this kindof thing bearing fruit is very close to zero,and that goes double for anything with the words "free energy" in it.
