Zero Point
Amega also sells a small, pen-sized metal "wand" that is said to incorporate "zero point energy" into either food or the body by hovering the wand over the desired area of effect and slowly drawing circles in the air with the wand. Quantum woo practitioners completely abuse the term, since the way they define it and how it allegedly works has nothing to do with science.
The same goes for selling polished fluorite octahedron crystals that allegedly have been exposed to a so-called "new technology" that "alters the atomic structure of the fluorite so they become superconductive of Life Force Energy. The atoms and molecules are reorganized so they become able to conduct the zero point energy, the energy that arises out of nothing in every point in the universe, also called vacuum energy by scientists" - as they claim on their website.

Other names for the zero point energy is chi, ki or Life force energy. When our fluorite crystals have been treated with this process a permanent connection has been made between the zero point energy and the crystal which is why the field of life force energy around the crystal now is stronger by a thousand times.

Zero-point energy - Wikipedia
Current science doesn't really know if it's possible, but if it makes you feel any better, we'd never see it coming. More info at false vacuum. So we've seen that there is a reasonable theoretical framework for the energy associated to electromagnetic vacuum states, and that certain electrode geometries can provide indirect means to observe these vacuum energies.

One then might ask, has such a thing been experimentally verified. Although there was a dedicated measurement in by M.
Conceptual Framework
Sparnaay, he only found that his measurements did not contradict Casimir's prediction, and indeed they were far from precise. More recently, circa , a physicist at the University of Washington made use of a torsion pendulum to measure the force been two conductors: He took into account modifications to the force from the differing geometry, finite conductivity of real metals, and backgrounds due to both thermal and electrostatic effects. This was the first direct observation and statistically sound analysis to verify the force which Casimir had postulated almost 50 years before.
Since , there has been a wealth of work dedicated to constraining some of the finer and more finicky details of the Casimir effect, as well as studies that have observed other phenomenon associated to vacuum energy, oft referred to as corollaries of the original Casimir effect.

The interested reader might try investigating the plasma model vs. Measuring a force between two metal plates is all well and good exceptional in fact , but the pragmatist might wonder what use could come of said measurement, or even the applicability of the driving theory itself.
With this line of thinking, we finally return to our first reference: To power rockets and provide thrust, current space-flight technologies depend almost entirely on the use of chemicals as fuels, including liquid oxygen, hydrazine, composite solid fuels, and many more. The most significant disadvantage of such a fuel is the fixed thrust to weight ratio. If you want more thrust, or thrust for a longer period of time, you need to bring more fuel. It would be much nicer if you could bring along a little solar-powered space engine, of fixed weight, and get it to push your spaceship around.
But what would provide the thrust? And thus Eagleworks was born. Their aim is to make use of complex and highly-specialized conducting cavities to generate a thrust that "pushes" against the vacuum of space by directing the flow of virtual electrons and positrons generated from a standing radio-frequency wave inside the closed cavity. If this were possible, all it would need is a little electricity and the only barrier between humankind and a future in the stars would be the time it takes to get anywhere.
In fact, Eagleworks has recently published a paper detailing a supposed, and exceedingly contentious, measurement of thrust from a prototype Electromagnetic EM Drive, depicted in Fig. However, their recent publication involves a more precise measurement performed in vacuum, which can often be decidedly more conclusive.
As was mentioned before, this measurement of thrust generated by pushing against the vacuum of spacetime has significant opposition from the physics community, and rightly so. The most obvious issue is a simple violation of conservation of momentum. NASA has claimed to build a "thruster" which, in theory, can propel itself from rest without ejecting either matter or photons. Although unlikely, it is possible that the drive is generating thrust by ejecting some other type of weakly-interacting particle, maybe even through a mechanism not currently encoded by the Standard Model.
In time, it's possible that better measurements could be made. Harnessing energy and thrust from the vacuum of space would be undeniably astounding, and is the main project goal at NASA's Eagleworks labs.
