Casimir Zero-Point Energy & Warp Drives | Harold “Sonny” White

Video Description

Dr. Harold "Sonny" White just put zero-point energy on a chip, and explains how the Casimir effect will revolutionize energy, electronics, and propulsion technologies. Dr. White's new startup, Casimir, is a deep-tech startup focused on developing breakthrough power-generating nanotechnology. More specifically, his team has developed a method of generating small amounts of electrical energy by harnessing the Casimir Effect. In other words, Dr. White has found a way to extract usable power from vacuum energy, often described as "zero-point energy". That by itself is groundbreaking - but what's just as remarkable is the method he's using to do it: nanoscale structures built much like the transistors in a computer chip. The amount of power he's generating is miniscule, but just like the first transistors, over time what "starts as a drop" may become a flood of energy. In the meantime, he's developing commercial applications for low-power electronics devices that can leverage small amounts of energy for mission-critical tasks in space, medicine, and more. What Dr. White's team has learned from harnessing the Casimir Effect may also have applications for future warp-drive design. As one of the foremost advocates for advanced propulsion concepts in the scientific community, he's already working on the best way to apply today's ZPE to tomorrow's Star Trek future. Dr. Harold "Sonny" White, a mechanical engineer, aerospace engineer, and applied physicist known worldwide for his groundbreaking work in emerging energy and breakthrough propulsion physics. Dr. White proposals has a Bachelor's in mechanical engineering from University of South Alabama, an Master's in mechanical engineering from Wichita State University, and a Ph.D. degree in Physics from Rice University. His career experience includes roles at industry-leading aerospace organizations such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and NASA - where he was awarded both the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal and Silver Snoopy Award. Since retiring from NASA, Dr. White has worked as Director of Advanced R&D at Limitless Space Institute, along with his newest role as Founder & CEO of Casimir.
