1 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:20,150 okay 2 00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:22,150 can i call on someone in the meantime 3 00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:31,830 yes okay so black light power 4 00:00:37,030 --> 00:00:34,880 right black light power and it's uh 5 00:00:38,549 --> 00:00:37,040 president mills have developed this 6 00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:38,559 concept of a hydrino 7 00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,000 which is a hydrogen atom that spins down 8 00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:44,399 to a lower orbital and we're often 9 00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,200 connected 10 00:00:50,229 --> 00:00:47,920 with black light and the question is is 11 00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:50,239 our process the same as black lights 12 00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:52,480 the answer is not as far as we as as 13 00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,600 we're concerned 14 00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:55,360 uh you know there may end up being some 15 00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:57,600 fundamental physics that connects us 16 00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:59,199 but right now we're coming from two 17 00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,719 completely different places 18 00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:02,399 and we're not talking about hydrogen 19 00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:04,479 going to a lower 20 00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:08,000 orbital uh i'm going to 21 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:33,270 please 22 00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:35,190 mechanics has raised against zero-point 23 00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:36,880 energy extraction 24 00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:40,400 is that uh be able to 25 00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:44,159 because uh the zero point fluctuations 26 00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:45,920 are characteristic of our particular 27 00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,280 vacuum state 28 00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,360 and if it's possible to disrupt energy 29 00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:51,439 from them that implies that we're living 30 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:52,079 in a 31 00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:54,880 false vacuum that there is some lower 32 00:01:58,069 --> 00:01:55,520 energy 33 00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,079 true vacuum state that would be where 34 00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:00,079 the excess energy could come from 35 00:02:05,109 --> 00:02:02,719 so if we extract it we will trigger a 36 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:05,119 collapsibly true vacuum which would 37 00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,229 uh so so if you're right uh we'll have 38 00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:22,080 sort of a i've turned it back on if 39 00:02:24,229 --> 00:02:22,720 you're right 40 00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:24,239 we'll have a quick instant in which we 41 00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,750 the time just why don't you just pass 42 00:02:34,550 --> 00:02:31,440 the okay 43 00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:34,560 uh so uh so 44 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:37,920 is mine off i believe mine's off okay 45 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:40,800 so uh as i said if we know if if you're 46 00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:41,920 right 47 00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,040 we'll know for a short instant um 48 00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:47,760 and more generally it's it's a question 49 00:02:50,309 --> 00:02:48,080 of 50 00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:50,319 what is vacuum energy and nobody really 51 00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:51,120 knows 52 00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:54,879 energy is uh the stochastic 53 00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:56,239 electrodynamic view 54 00:02:59,430 --> 00:02:58,480 is a more physical view than the 55 00:03:01,110 --> 00:02:59,440 uncertainty 56 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:01,120 quantum mechanical view as you as you 57 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,640 well know uh 58 00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:04,400 in the end we've got a lot to learn 59 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,710 john 60 00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:17,350 to determine if the material that the 61 00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:18,000 plates are 62 00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:20,319 made of will affect the differential 63 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:22,480 between the inside and outside so that 64 00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:23,360 perhaps 65 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:26,319 certain materials of molecular structure 66 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,640 or 67 00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:28,560 metal different metals might create a 68 00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:29,840 greater differential 69 00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:33,440 uh yes so the question is 70 00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:35,360 is the nature of the chasmir cavity 71 00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:36,640 plates uh 72 00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:39,920 how does it affect the casimir force and 73 00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:42,879 these uh properties that i'm talking 74 00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:44,560 about the answer is yes it depends quite 75 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:46,640 a lot on the casino cavity plates 76 00:03:51,270 --> 00:03:48,319 there's been a fair bit of work on it 77 00:03:53,429 --> 00:03:51,280 and in fact recently one hoop has shown 78 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:53,439 that you can get a repulsive force as 79 00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:55,040 well as an attractive force 80 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,879 by changing the conditions of the casino 81 00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:58,959 cavity 82 00:04:02,869 --> 00:04:01,200 there's this is really a new field 83 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,879 there's a lot that needs to go on my 84 00:04:05,910 --> 00:04:04,560 student who's working on this 85 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:05,920 is going off to a conference 86 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:07,360 specifically on the issue that you're 87 00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:08,400 talking about 88 00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:10,319 looking at the casino cavity plates and 89 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,760 finding out what how their 90 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,280 characteristics affect 91 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:15,840 uh what's inside uh and we don't know 92 00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:17,040 yet 93 00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:21,600 um yeah with being an engineer 94 00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:23,280 and we're the first graduate students at 95 00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:24,639 your hands so to speak 96 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,160 how are you coming on the design of the 97 00:04:32,150 --> 00:04:28,000 first test uh so we 98 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:32,160 had a um darpa contract a fairly large 99 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:33,280 contract 100 00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:36,800 to look at this and we spent a year 101 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,880 building casimir cavities and testing 102 00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:40,000 them and so on 103 00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:42,400 in the end of it we had a few glimmers 104 00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:43,040 of 105 00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:46,960 hope that maybe this is working but uh 106 00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:49,280 in retrospect i think that the approach 107 00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:51,040 we took to making casimir cavities which 108 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:52,479 there isn't time for me to go into right 109 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:52,960 now 110 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,560 was not reliable and we weren't getting 111 00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:57,199 good spacing we did see these energy 112 00:05:01,590 --> 00:04:59,600 bursts that people have talked about 113 00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:01,600 but there are multiple ways to interpret 114 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:03,120 it is it is it a 115 00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:06,320 zero point energy force or is it perhaps 116 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:08,080 some sort of sparking or something else 117 00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:09,360 that's being induced 118 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:10,960 so we now have a completely different 119 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:13,120 method for making casimir cavities we've 120 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:15,520 got this stainless steel chamber 121 00:05:19,270 --> 00:05:17,039 very well controlled for doing the 122 00:05:19,749 --> 00:05:19,280 testing and we'll find out over the next 123 00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:19,759 year 124 00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:22,000 it's not an easy experiment to do
