This explains the "Casimir Effect:"

Gad, just what we need is more existential fodder for Arthur (except you leaped to an antenna connection before he could opine "throw away the text books"). Future nano antennas? At this scale, there is nothing so amusing as those in, over their heads. It may shock many to discover that resonance becomes decoupled from scaling at this -um- scale. This isn't your dad's quarterwave monopole anymore. Another message from Western Union, the Casimir effect was well known CENTURIES ago to sailors. It was only myopic scientists who re-discovered it under their microscope and put a label to it in spite of this common knowledge. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Your claim is the Casimir Effect only has domain over atomic sized particles and "possibly" larger? Interesting, I would take your bet ... if it affects atomic sized particles, it will be found to affect smaller; and bigger, I wonder? But, apparently, that/those questions are being posed ...

Come to think of it, if they really do have a crashed alien craft or two, and are reverse engineering 'em, you'd just have to expect something like this to develop somewhere at sometime; wouldn't ya? grin Regards, JS |

Talk about the claims of Tritonic minnows. The Casimir effect is a specious example of a larger effect. Centuries ago (and even now, if anyone cares to attempt it), when ships are side-by-side, in close proximity, a difference in energy level pressing on the ship's hulls is found to draw them together into collision. For others: The wave energy in the sea comes in many wavelengths and is equally distributed upon the surface of a large ship (no appeals to nanotechnology is required to understand any of this). As a result, the combined force is washed out, so to speak. The net force of all energies does not otherwise move nor change the course of a ship. However, when two ships are running parallel tracks close together, the space between them limits the frequency of wavelengths between them. There is thus a smaller range of energies present between the ships. The balance in energies applied to all sides of either ship is lost. That loss is found in the parallel faces of the hulls and the remaining original forces cause the ships to draw together and collide. Now, what has this got to do with nanotechnology? NADA. What has this got to do with antennas? NADA. What sort of lens would reverse this effect in ships to push them apart (so called levitation of the Super Man comix)? The reader can rest well to imagine another shaggy dog proposal. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

... 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC Nice fairytale; and given all the time at sea, those sailors certainly would have had the time to dream it up; and, it is easy for one to imagine as holding water. However, the rising and falling of the ships would create a "pumping effect" between the said ships ... As, the ships rise on the wave, the ships tend to be "pushed" together by the fact that water on all the outsides of the ships finds it easier to flow up to, and onto, the ships, leaving a "partial vacuum" in between the ships due to the fact water "flowing in" between the ships faces more resistance getting in their. Now, as the wave subsides, the ships are "held together" by the fact the water "flowing out" between the ships faces much more resistance than the water flowing away on the outsides ... the ships eventually end up touching. While the Casimir Effect may, or may not, relate to this phenomenon in some esoteric and abstract way--I rather doubt it! silly grin QUIT PULLING RICHARD!

Attach antenna wire to gecko. 2. Get your gecko to climb as high as needed. 3. Key up with a kilowatt. 4. Antenna is now secured with lossy carbon resistor for a lovely wide bandwidth. Simple. Geckos have had sticky but dirt resistant feet for millennia. There was an announcement over a year ago that some new plastic compound had been developed to duplicate the effect. It all relies on the attraction between closely spaced molecules. I guess someone needed to find a method of peeling it off after it had stuck firmly. Applying an electromagnetic field in the correct manner would break the atomic level attraction between the materials. Don't know how the geckos do it though. Maybe they have a charge generator like an electric eel? Mike G0ULI |

"Esoteric and abstract" is in the nano-tech embroidery added to a common occurrence. Simply put, if you cannot explain the Casimir effect (I note you appeal to others through links) in terms other than mine of energy and wavelength; then your rejection is a wan flick from an effete wrist.
