摘要： A system and method for dispersion-force-based actuation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a light beam is used to change the dispersion force between two spaced apart surfaces. The change in the dispersion force causes a change in the gap between the surfaces. The actuation system can be used in conjunction with a deformable mirror to provide an improved adaptive optics system.

摘要： In some embodiments, the illustrative method defines an engine cycle comprising several state changes that allow for a net gain of energy from an underlying source force field. The potential for a net energy gain via the method results from the discovery that a Casimir force system can be rendered non-conservative. This is done by appropriately altering one or more of a variety of physical factors that affect the Casimir force, or by altering any of a variety of environmental factors that affect such physical factors. In various embodiments, the extracted energy is stored, used to power energy-consuming devices or used to actuate a micromechanical device. In one embodiment, the method is implemented using an energy extraction apparatus that comprises two spaced Casimir force-generating boundaries that are operatively coupled to an energy transformation system. The energy transformation system includes a first device that is operable to alter at least one physical factor of the system. The energy transformation system also includes a second device that is operable to change the distance between the two Casimir force-generating boundaries, and further operable to maintain the distance between the boundaries while the first device alters the physical factor.

摘要： Apparatus and method for dense energy storage is disclosed. The inner tube of a multi-wall nanotube is reversibly withdrawn from the outer tube thereof via a facing electrode that is biased with respect to the nanotube by an external voltage source. As the inner tube is withdrawn, the potential energy of the van der Waals field between the inner tube and the outer tube increases, which manifests as a force that is directed opposite to the electrostatic force of attraction between the electrode and the inner tube. The storage apparatus is discharged by decreasing the applied voltage, which enables the van der Waals force to overcome the electrostatic force. As a consequence, the inner tube is drawn back into the outer tube. The electrode and nanotube define a variable capacitor and, as such, the change in capacitance based on movement of the inner tube results in a flow of charge to a load.

摘要： A method for propulsion that does not consume fuel. The method involves the modification of the dispersion force (i.e., van der Waals) that arises between particles, such as neutral atoms. The method comprises generating a lifting force by subjecting a plurality of confined particles to a trigger acceleration, exposing the particles to an amount of electromagnetic radiation that is sufficient to induce the lifting force to (1) exhibit relatively long-range interactions and (2) increase the momentum of the particles, and then transferring at least a portion of the increase in momentum to a vehicle.

摘要： An article and method for controlling the sign (repulsion or attraction) and magnitude of dispersion forces, such as the Casimir force. In accordance with one embodiment of the present teachings, dispersion forces are controlled by selectively reflecting only those spectral components (i.e., frequencies) at which the random oscillations of the electromagnetic field contribute to the force behavior desired, while substantially suppressing all other spectral components. In one embodiment, the selected spectral components are omni-directionally reflected using photonic band gap materials.
