Documents / Report
This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 6 April 2010, is one in a series of FY 2009 advanced technology reports produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program. It reviews the physics of zero-point field energy in the quantum vacuum and proposed schemes for extracting it, including the Casimir effect, Forward's vacuum-fluctuation battery, and resonant dielectric spheres. It notes that no practicable extraction technique has been demonstrated in the laboratory.

electrons while giving off light as it was decaying.

Shoulders' experimental studies claim that EVs have physical characteristics
corresponding to the phenomenon observed by Nardi et al. His conclusions were that
EVs are compact spherically shaped balls (diameter"" 1 - 20 μm) of condensed high-
density charge(~ 10 30 electrons/m 3 ) with an internal electric field> 108 V/m, a charge-
to-mass ratio of 1.7588 x 1011 Coulomb/kg("' electron's charge-to-mass ratio), and a
surface current density of 6 x 10 15 Amps/m 2 (Reference 36). Shoulders also reported
that EVs are a source of (copious) X-rays; a single EV discharge gun can produce
multiple EVs in which the coupling between adjacent EVs produces quasi-stable
structures (chains); and EVs respond like an electron under deflection by external fields
of known polarity.
Since electrons would not be expected to bind together due to their mutual Coulomb
repulsion, a speculative model based on the vacuum electromagnetic ZPF was formed
