12.	Robert Forward of the Hughes Research Laboratory in Malibu,
California ... Forward's design for a 'vacuum fluctuation
battery' consists of a helix of ultrathin aluminium foil
charged with electricity - rather like the toy known as a
slinky. The positive electric charge holds the leaves of
foil apart, while the Casimir force tries to pull them
together... if the whole thing is allowed to collapse
slowly like an accordian being squeezed, energy from the
Casimir force will be released as usable electricity. Once
the 'accordian' has collapsed, the 'battery' can be
recharged using electricity from an outside source, just
like an ordinary rechargable battery." p.179

13.	Sarfatti Commentary: What about mobile pi electrons moving
along RNA and DNA helixes? Does the quantum biocomputer for
our immediate mental self-awareness use the Casimir force?
As computers get faster and smaller, the Casimir force will
come into play as noise or as something else? The Casimir
force will impact on nanomachines.
