Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents the engineering calculations for a propellantlesspropulsion system based on Zero-Point Energy (ZPE) extraction via 3D CarbonHoneycomb (CCH) nanocellular frameworks. Building upon the foundationaldiscovery of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), recognized by the 2025 NobelPrize in Chemistry awarded to Omar Yaghi, Susumu Kitagawa, and RichardRobson, we demonstrate that advanced CCH structures synthesized via templatedCVD exhibit quantum-geometric properties that transcend classical Casimir-Lifshitztheory. We derive the non-linear enhancement of vacuum pressure due to conformalanomalies and Berry phase curvature in sub-nanometer pores (R ≈ 0.7–1.4 nm),showing a 2.4–3.1× amplification over linear predictions. Using the boundaryconditions of a 3-ton interstellar vessel carrying 10 anthropomorphic agents, wecalculate the required active CCH mass (300 kg) providing >1.17 × 10⁶ m² ofquantum interface area. We establish that topological stabilization via Berrycurvature prevents structural collapse at d < 0.6 nm, enabling sustained operation atlocal pressures of 170–210 atm. This framework defines the physical parameters ofthe primary energy transducer for both quantum photonic thrust and segmented warppropulsion
