Casimir Inc obtiene financiación para un dispositivo de energía de vacío

Casimir Inc ha salido del modo oculto con un importante respaldo de capital riesgo para desarrollar un dispositivo que extrae energía del vacío utilizando el efecto Casimir. La startup afirma que su tecnología puede producir energía libre continua mediante el túnel cuántico entre placas fijas y pilares. El anuncio revive el interés por el trabajo anterior de los fundadores sobre un propulsor electromagnético.

La empresa vincula su enfoque con el efecto Casimir, un fenómeno cuántico real en el que las partículas virtuales crean presión entre placas metálicas estrechamente espaciadas. Casimir Inc propone fijar las placas y añadir pilares para que los electrones realicen un efecto túnel de forma asimétrica, generando un voltaje que alimenta una carga conectada. La empresa afirma que las mediciones ya muestran la caída de voltaje prevista, respaldada por un artículo publicado en Physical Review Research en 2026.
