Default Dynamic Vacuum Model & Casimir Cavity Experiments

A paper from this past June.

Dr. Harold "Sonny" White at Eagleworks is still at it. He's been
speculating about Casimir Effect Thrusters with some very interesting
results.

A new approach to thinking about atomic orbitals as well... Very
interesting...

He describes them as "Notional", and then assumes results that violate
the conservation of momentum. Don't spend your savings on this.

I don't agree that this violates C.O.M. This in not a closed system like
in EMDrive. This idea is very different from EMDrive. If the "notional"
speculations are correct, i.e. space-time is dynamic and behaves
acoustically then longitudinal waves should be a direct outcome.

Momentum should be conserved by transferring energy from the cavity to
space-time itself. An an example I use a stereo speaker. It generates
all sorts of longitudinal acoustic waves and no-one claims it violates
C.O.M. simply because it pushes against air molecules. Nor can it be
rigged as a perpetual motion machine. Neither can these Casimir
cavities. Note in the paper there are 64 of these cavities arranged in a
1cm square. Each cavity w/o an enhancing B field produces only 2.3x10-16
or 230 attoNewtons of force. With the enhancing B field he guesses 36.7
picoNewtons of force per cavity. According to Dr. White, in the 8x8
array (64 cavities aligned to be working in conjunction) the square
should generate 6.3uN/W or 1900x the force of a photon rocket.

I postulate such a disruption should cause a localized wake that ought
to effect the electron orbitals of atoms caught in the wake. A change in
the ground energy of S orbitals of hydrogen atoms caught in wake, until
radiated away, might be one way to measure the effect if it exists. Dr.
White theorizes such an effect ought to also effect radioactive decay
rates of various atoms and further suggests in the paper an anonymous
someone has observed the effect at MIT, but I have yet to see any
peer-reviewed papers on this subject from MIT or anyone else. Thus if
such results exist they could still be chalked up to experimental error
in my book.

It all depends on whether Dr. White is correct about three guesses:

1) Space-time is dynamic.

2) Dynamic space-time behaves acoustically which is a stretch beyond the
Copenhagen Interpretation of QM. Which is far more concerned with
mathematical statistics than physicality IMHO.

3) As a result of Proposition 2, longitudinal waves can be generated
in dynamic space-time to "push against" the vacuum!

These three propositions is where the idea is very much a hypothesis (a
guess as Dr. Feynman would say...) and could fall completely down as far
as we know today, but it's not tilting at windmills like EMDrive theory
(as proposed by Shawyer) does. I don't see it a-priori violating
Conservation of Momentum.
