Energetic Bilan of a Mems Conform to Emmy Noether Theorem for Extraction of Electrical Peak Power of Vacuum Energy
Abstract
Dr. SANGOUARD Patrick
This theoretical work addresses the hope of extracting an energy present throughout the universe: that of the quantum vacuum. This article demonstrates that by harnessing quantum vacuum energy, it is theoretically possible to maintain a continuous periodic vibration of a piezoelectric bridge and extract usable electrical power from it, without contradicting Emmy Noether’s theorem. The sensor vibrations in the proposed MEMS differ from an impossible perpetual motion, as they are permanently powered by quantum vacuum energy. They are achieved by automatically controlling the deformation of a piezoelectric bridge. This cyclical deformation is created thanks to the omnipresent, permanent, and attractive Casimir force (CAF) between two electrodes. This CAF starts at a position z0 and is controlled by an automatic Coulomb repulsion force (COF), applied by closing switch #1 on a third electrode called the Coulomb. The Coulomb force (COF) derives from the electrical charges generated by the deformation of the piezoelectric bridge. The FCO force is in the opposite direction and of greater intensity than the FCA force. It is generated at a position z1 < zo and dissipated at z2, with z1 < ≈ z2 < z0 , by the consecutive but very close activation of two switches, which operate automatically thanks to the electrical charges produced on the deformed piezoelectric bridge. The resulting FCO - FCA force straightens the bridge and transmits kinetic energy to it and to the moving Casimir electrode. As the deformation of the piezoelectric bridge decreases, so does the voltage on the gates of switches #1 and #2, switch #1 opens again, immediately after closing. Very quickly, switch #2 switches to ground via an RLC circuit, the Coulomb electrode is then brought back to ground and the FCO force therefore disappears very quickly after its appearance. The kinetic energy acquired by the structure is then dissipated by the action of the FCA force, but confers inertia that allows the structures to return to or slightly exceed their initial position. The Casimir force, still present, then deforms the structure again. The system vibrates at a frequency and amplitude depending on its physical and geometric characteristics. Each time switch #2 is grounded, a current and voltage spike is generated. These periodic power spikes power a self-contained electronic circuit (without power supply) that transforms these signals into a usable DC voltage. In this article, we will primarily present the structure’s energy balance and demonstrate its consistency with Emmy Noether’s fundamental theorem.
