Hi,
People have hypothesized that one could extract energy from the zero-point field using the Casimir effect by letting the two conducting plates move together and do some useful work.
But surely to reset the system one needs to supply the same amount of work to separate the plates again so no net work is done by such a system?
Is that correct?
