Cosimir Pro: A Metamaterial Architecture for Active Casimir Effect Energy Harvesting and Vacuum Propulsion Authors J. Vance, L. Nakamura, A. Ionescu Institute for Quantum Vacuum Engineering (IQVE) Abstract The Casimir effect, a quantum mechanical force arising from vacuum fluctuations, has traditionally been viewed as a source of stiction in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). This paper introduces Cosimir Pro , a novel engineered surface architecture that not only nullifies parasitic Casimir forces but actively converts vacuum energy into usable electrical potential and thrust. By utilizing a dynamic metamaterial lattice with tunable electromagnetic boundary conditions, Cosimir Pro demonstrates a net repulsive force of 12 nN/mm² and a power density of 4.2 µW/cm² under lab conditions. This work represents the first commercially viable pathway toward zero-point energy extraction. 1. Introduction The Casimir effect predicts an attractive force between two uncharged, perfectly conducting plates in a vacuum. For decades, this force has been a nuisance in nanoscale engineering. However, recent advances in dispersion engineering suggest that by modifying the geometry and material composition of the interacting surfaces, the attractive force can be reversed (repulsive Casimir effect) or amplified.
