    ZPEnergy: Zero Point Energy goes Hollywood!

    Zero Point Energy goes Hollywood!

    rastahal writes: Following the progress of Zero Point Energy and it's
    potential over the years, I've often entertained the thought that the
    concept of ZPE would some day make the perfect power source for
    Hollywood science fiction screen writers.

    Because of it's foundation in science, the concept of ZPE would give
    screenwriters a break from writing more "techno babble" to support a
    story line. And because you don't have to carry ZPE during space
    travel and it's available anywhere, it would seem easy to incorporate
    this concept into science fiction in a big way.

    Many of us science fiction fans have seen Hollywood use just about
    everything as a fuel source. As I grew up, nuclear fuel seems to have
    been the most favored energy source for past Hollywood writers, and
    that seemed to make sense as it had a growing place of importance as
    a viable fuel source in our own reality.

    But strange Hollywood energy offshoots abound, everything from Star
    Trek's dilithium crystals to the current Stargate SG-1's naquida
    generators.

    But now it seems our beloved ZPE has found a home in Hollywood!

    Being a fan of SciFi channel's Stargate series, I was eager to watch
    the premier of the first Stargate spin-off, Stargate Atlantis.

    As the story begins, they learn that to get to "Atlantis" through the
    stargate, it will take much more power than usual…nothing strange
    there! But, imagine my surprise when the subject of possible power
    sources was discussed and, lo and behold, the power source of choice
    was zero point energy!

    One of the characters had to explain the concept a bit to the others
    and I'm glad to report that what he said wasn't just techno babble,
    it was obvious to this viewer that someone had researched the
    subject. Energy from the vacuum was used as a description as was
    energy from space-time!

    As the story progresses and they discover Atlantis, the power source
    of this "lost city of the Ancients" is discovered to be…you got it …
    zero point energy!
    The show uses the term ZPM, an analogy for Zero Point Module.

    Obviously, depending on this show's success, we will hear many more
    references to some form of ZPE, on this show and hopefully others in
    the future. It's my belief that this kind of public exposure to the
    concept of zero point energy is very good for our cause…so tune in
    and check it out!

    I always thought it was an original idea, I guess not.

          Hmmm...perhaps the SGC can make their own ZPM based on this tech, and sent it through to Atlantis Base.

          Just a thought
          I am on a mission to acquire the SG-1 DVDs, since I wish to know all about this great universe...

          I have the original movie and Season 1 on DVD.

          Update: I also have Seasons 2 and 3 on DVD.

          I have seen the light! Please help me learn more!

            great article. I knew about it, but I haven't heard much about zero point energy before. Hopefully they're right and Atlantis will change that.
