My biggest conerns for all this to happen is what you have outlined
here. The "regauging". If this system is linear and Casimir
forces are higher the closer to objects become, I do not see how
the plates are then seperated without some energy put forward.
The whole system has to be oscillatory (to bad you did not find
out what frequency rate the system regauges at) in order to effect
energy production. It seems to me that the plates when attracted
are then sucking off energy from the piezo material. Also it is
compressing the "caulking" material (rubber band?) giving energy
to the caulking. Now as the plates get closer.. seems like more
energy is required to seperate them.. as they are nearer.. or
there is some "well" created maybe from the energy pulse extraction.
If there is an energy well..then the caulking maybe has the opertunity
to expanse the walls from it's stored up energy. Either way.. there
must be some type of "relaxation" in order for the calking to give
off it's pent of energy from the Casmier force. You statement
below is the key to all this...
