I have a motor like that in my house. It's called a refrigerator. Most if not all refrigerator designers are awarded patents for their inventions; that only means the design itself is novel, not the underlying physics. Although many different types of refrigerator exist, they all work by moving heat from where it's not wanted to somewhere where it's easier to manage. This process always requires energy and always results in a net gain of heat. It is impossible to make heat simply disappear.
It's deffinately not a compressor in the refrigerator sense. It is a copper coiled stator with a permanent magnet rotor encased in an aluminium jacket. I'm not saying it's motive power is a result of ZPE, but it's cooling effect may be, because ZPE interacts with electromagnetism. The dynamo is AC, which reacts with the aluminum jacket and creates more magnetic eddy currents with in the aluminum that may develop some type of resonance, from the rotations, resulting in the novel cooling effect.
(I did at one time have a copy of the patent, but I may have wiped the drive where it was stored. I'll post it when I reconstruct the steps in which I discovered it.)
Quantum mechanics predicts the existence of what are usually called ''zero-point'' energies for the strong, the weak and the electromagnetic interactions, where ''zero-point'' refers to the energy of the system at temperature T=0, or the lowest quantized energy level of a quantum mechanical system.
From this line of reasoning, quantum physics predicts that all of space must be filled with electromagnetic zero-point fluctuations (also called the zero-point field) creating a universal sea of zero-point energy.
...the zero-point energy density would be 110 orders of magnitude greater than the radiant energy at the center of the Sun.
http://www.calphysics.org/zpe.htmlAccording to work by Christian Beck and Michael Mackey, dark energy is nothing other than zero-point energy, dark energy is the low frequency gravitationally active component of zero-point energy.
[speculation]Maybe, using a novel specific arrangement of some type of crystaline silicon compound, it would be possible to utilize the atoms interactions with the Zero Point Field, causing a resonance in it's thermal conductivity.[/speculation]
Why do computer geeks always resort to cats?
@Physicist
Can't you just interact with the Zero Point Field by rubbing the cat vigorously, thereby generating a static electrical field, into which you direct millimeter microwave frequencies, generating a Hutchison Effect?
