Energy and Thermodynamic Considerations Involving Electromagnetic Zero-Point Radiation
There has been recent speculation and controversy regarding whether electromagnetic zero-point radiation might be the next candidate in the progression of plentiful energy sources, ranging, for example, from hydrodynamic, chemical, and nuclear energy sources. Certainly, however, extracting energy from the vacuum seems counter intuitive to most people. Here, these ideas are clarified, drawing on...
متن کاملNewtonian Cosmology with Renormalized Zero-Point Radiation
It is shown that the infinite energy density of zero-point radiation can be renormalized to a finite value, K c o ρ 2 , where K o ρ is the inertial mass density corresponding to gravitational mass density ρ o , by inclusion of gravitational self-potential energy, provided that 4 2 π ρ G R o = 3 2 Kc , which is the condition that K c o ρ 2 closes the universe at radius R. When material mass m * ...
متن کاملQuantum and classical statistics of the electromagnetic zero-point field.
A classical electromagnetic zero-point field ~ZPF! analog of the vacuum of quantum field theory has formed the basis for theoretical investigations in the discipline known as random or stochastic electrodynamics ~SED!. In SED the statistical character of quantum measurements is imitated by the introduction of a stochastic classical background electromagnetic field. Random electromagnetic fluctu...
متن کاملViewpoint Filling a cavity with photons , and watching them leave
The harmonic oscillator is one of the most fundamental systems in quantum mechanics. Equipped with its solution—one of the first that every physics student learns to calculate exactly—it is possible to describe realistic problems, from phonons in a crystal to the interaction of light with an atom. It is perhaps ironic, then, how challenging it is to actually prepare a pure harmonic oscillator s...
متن کامل8 Electromagnetic Radiation and Life : Bioelementological Point of View
Life on Earth has formed and evolved under exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of the Sun, which is the most potent natural source of electromagnetic waves. Besides the Sun, electromagnetic oscillations form during lightning strikes. Also, there is geomagnetic background of our planet. Artificial electromagnetic radiation is produced by different electrical equipment, electric motors, r...
