Calculation of Resonant Values of Electromagnetic Energy Incident Upon Dielectric Spheres

Abstract

Research and development regarding the zero-point energy of the vacuum is in its infancy, with only a handful of researchers having done serious work in the field. In this report, a theory developed by Dr. Jack Nachamkin is investigated. His theory involves the incidence of electromagnetic radiation upon a dielectric sphere and the associated resonances. If two spheres would be placed within close proximity of one another and exposed to bombarding electromagnetic radiation having a range of frequencies broad enough to cover the difference in resonant waves established would work in conjunction to create a beat frequency between the two waves which could be rectified and thus provide a source of electrical energy and a trap for zero-point energy. This work centered upon the search for at least one identifiable resonant combination of sphere radius and wave frequency.
