Wouldn't that be true only if e= hc/l is relevant for the electron? I have been told that the equation can only be used for the energy of a photon, and that the electron kinetic energy is something completely different.

I was playing around with equations last night while waiting on a friend, when I thought I stumbled on something strange. I came up with the equation energy(e) = mass(m) x speed of light(c) x velocity(v) from the de Borgie relation wavelength(l)= plank's constant (h)/mv and the formula for...

Let's say we had 2 plates, separated by piezoelectric material at a distance of 10 nm. You do agree that Casimir attraction will generate electrons, correct? However, the energy required to return the plates to the original position will be greater than what was generated, right? So what if...

I don't understand your objections Q-reeus. Doesn't the effect depend, partly, on the distance between the plates? Wouldn't it generate a lot of attraction at very short distances? A g-clamp needs an operator to exert force. Even if the energy harvested is small, can you explain to me why it...

Let me begin by apologizing if this has been brought up before, but it has been on my mind recently, and I had to ask. Would it be possible to create a battery that can extract work from the casimir effect? I understand that the energy required to separate the plates is greater than the...
