What is ' ZERO POINT ENERGY'?

Question

And what are the principles of this...............???

........can it be tapped into if its a constant energy???

(hoover or no hoover) ( lol )

Answer 1

The zero point energy is the minimum amount of energy as system can have due to quantum effects.

For example, even at a theoretical absolute zero, atoms will still vibrate because their position and momenta cannot be fixed at the same time. This vibration carries an energy. It is the energy of this vibration that constitutes the zero point energy.

No, there is no way to use this energy because it is impossible to decrease to a lower value.

Answer 2

Zero point energy is a concept of achieving free energy from the vacuum in a system where there is more energy output than input into the system. It has many names such as orgone energy or energy from the ether or " free energy".
In reality there is no such thing as free energy. The second law of thermodynamics proves this. The extra energy that is coming out of these zero point systems is actually energy from the sun. Most of these systems vibrate and that means the devices are resonating on a certain frequency that you can measure in hertz. Anything that has a frequency is energy right there.. the higher the frequency the more the energy. That is where the extra energy comes from..we are swimming in it and it comes from the sun.
Sure its doesn't cost you money for the energy... but it's not free ..it comes from somewhere (the sun). It doesn't come out of nowhere like most people and even some scientists would think.

Answer 3

In physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may possess and is the energy of the ground state of the system. The concept of zero-point energy was proposed by Albert Einstein and Otto Stern in 1913, which they originally called "residual energy" or Nullpunktsenergie. All quantum mechanical systems have a zero point energy. The term arises commonly in reference to the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator and its null oscillations. In quantum field theory, it is a synonym for the vacuum energy, an amount of energy associated with the vacuum of empty space. In cosmology, the vacuum energy is taken to be the origin of the cosmological constant. Experimentally, the zero-point energy of the vacuum leads directly to the Casimir effect, and is directly observable in nanoscale devices.

Because zero point energy is the lowest possible energy a system can have, this energy cannot be removed from the system.

Despite the definition, the concept of zero-point energy, and the hint of a possibility of extracting "free energy" from the vacuum, has attracted the attention of amateur inventors. Numerous perpetual motion and other pseudoscientific devices, often called free energy devices, exploiting the idea, have been proposed. As a result of this activity, and its intriguing theoretical explanation, it has taken on a life of its own in popular culture, appearing in science fiction books, games and movies.
