Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate your honest assessment.
I know the forces produced by the Casimir effect are very, very tiny, but I’m not depending on a force like traditional propulsion systems that use a reaction mass. I’m relying on entropy gradients to provide the “push”.
I tend to compare emergent gravity to osmosis, where space-time is the “solution” and the vacuum fluctuations are the “solute”. In thermodynamics, systems tend to proceed from low entropy to high entropy. If we can create a low entropy zone, then higher entropy space-time should try to bend around it, and in doing so provide the “push” needed by our propulsion system.
I’ve been scouring the internet looking for other people exploring similar ideas and have found a couple different guys. Dr. Harold White (formerly of NASA) and Charles Chase (formerly of Lockheed-Martin Skunkworks) are both exploring propulsion systems that leverage the Casimir Effect. I’ve reached out to them and am waiting to hear back. Here are links to their website: https://casimirspace.com/ and https://unlab.us/

Here is a link to a white paper I wrote with some minimal supporting math: https://archive.org/details/entropy-gradient-propulsion-system-whitepaper-rev-c
Here’s a link to a more simplistic overview of the concept (no math): https://archive.org/details/entropy-gradient-propulsion-overview
