The energy consumption of the world was about 13.3 billion toe (ton of oil equivalent) by the 2016 data on energy consumption and population. We now have the world average consumption of 57 kWh of primary energy per day per person. So we are in huge demand for energy. A lot and a lot and a lot more... So how about grasping the energy from the thin air? We were taught that the vacuum is an empty space. Remember? But that's not exactly true. As if you dive deeper into the quantum world, below the level of molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, and subatomic particles like quarks and more and more the vacuum is not truly empty. It's randomly pops in and out of existence and the most important thing is that they generate energy. Whats exactly does Zero Point Energy mean? It can be formulated in different ways, but to be simple it is the lowest yet non-zero energy of a quantum mechanical system. The ZPE has taken into ...
