Casimir force co-opted to generate free energy, midichlorians not included

The more likely route is the same as that used in quantum cascade lasers. In these systems, electrons tunnel from one location to another with almost the same energy. But in their new location, they quickly lose energy (via an acoustic wave generated by the crystalline material that holds the electrons), which traps them there. This is an actual mechanism based on well-established physics. It does, however, rely on very specific material properties and precise structural engineering. …
