ZPF Array Propulsion

Douglas Miller's design for the Zero-Point Field MEMs Array (he also calls it the ZPF Array), a micro-fabricated chip from his company Zero-Point Field Technologies LLC. Its GHz-actuated wedge cavities polarize virtual particle pairs to push off the quantum vacuum, an approach Miller frames as modulating the vacuum for navigation rather than extracting energy from it. He builds it on the Haisch-Rueda-Puthoff 1994 inertia model and Barry Setterfield's variable-constants hypothesis.
The numbers are projections, not measurements: the near-term prototype targets just 3 to 15 millinewtons at 10W, while the company's scaling math projects 0.6 to 2.4 newtons of directional thrust per square centimeter (and 1 to 9 newtons of upward, anti-gravity force) for a full array. As of May 2026 the project sits at the design stage with a fabrication-ready package, a provisional patent (US 63/820,876) with a non-provisional filing planned for June 2026, and roughly $5,400 invested against a $350K prototype ask inside a wider $1M raise, with no grants or test results yet. Miller hopes to build the prototype with a university partner (he names Rice University's nanofab and Embry-Riddle) and to pursue an NSF STTR.
The October 2025 Tim Ventura livestream that 4Orbs first drew on cited an earlier, vaguer figure of 6+ units of thrust from 10W.
This theory falls within the Energy & Physics research cluster, exploring advanced propulsion, fusion reactor designs, and unconventional energy technologies that may operate outside the boundaries of publicly acknowledged science.
Supporting Points

- Built on the Haisch-Rueda-Puthoff 1994 inertia model and Setterfield's variable-constants hypothesis
- Figures are projected, not measured: near-term prototype targets 3 to 15 mN at 10W; scaling math projects 0.6 to 2.4 N per square centimeter
- As of May 2026: design stage, provisional patent filed, about $5,400 invested against a $350K prototype ask, no grants or test results yet
