Phys. Rev. E 48, 1562–1565 (1993)Extracting energy and heat from the vacuumReceived 22 March 1993; published in the issue dated August 1993 Relatively recent proposals have been made in the literature for extracting energy and heat from electromagnetic zero-point radiation via the use of the Casimir force. The basic thermodynamics involved in these proposals is analyzed and clarified here, with the conclusion that, yes, in principle, these proposals are correct. Technological considerations for actual application and use are not examined here, however. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
