Theoretical demonstration reveals energy extraction from quantum vacuum using thin films in plasma manifolds, suggesting scalable power systems.
This paper presents a complete theoretical and numerical demonstration of autonomous energy extraction from the quantum vacuum using a Resonant Magneto-Acoustic (RMA) networked plasma manifold. A 2D hexagonal Gaussian magnetic lattice (10 nm spacing) is coupled to a 3.1 THz surface acoustic wave driver and a non-Hermitian vacuum-barocaloric term derived from warp-spectral curvature geometry. High-fidelity quantum simulations (unitary propagator + Lindblad evolution) on a 10×10 × 3-layer prototype show a stable extraction ratio R=1.0272 R = 1.0272 R=1.0272, corresponding to 2.72 % net energy gain from geometric phase accumulation at semi-Dirac nodes, and an energy variance of 193.7 eV. The system remains topologically protected within the warp-spectral stability bound m2≤α4/4 m^2 ≤ α^4/4 m2≤α4/4 (α=2.0×107 α = 2.0 × 10^7 α=2.0×107 m⁻¹) while the integrated quantum barocaloric cycle maintains the lattice temperature at 300 K. The modular “Resonant Skin” architecture enables scalable, decentralized power generation and is fabrication-ready using standard MBE growth of PbTe:Tl thin films, Gaussian magnetic patterning, and edge MHD collectors. The work establishes a practical pathway toward fuel-free, continuous energy harvesting by treating spacetime curvature as a dynamic reservoir, opening new possibilities for thin-film resonant energy transducers and modular city-scale power systems.
