What has not been experimentally measured yet are the sub-vacuum fluctuations and
their corresponding sub-vacuum (negative) energy density inside a Casimir cavity.
Casimir cavities produce static, or time-independent, sub-vacuum fluctuations and
(negative) energy density. Marecki [5, 6] proposed a modified BHD and computed the
two-point function and the associated spectral density for the ground state of the
quantum electric field in Casimir geometries, and predicted a position- and frequency­
dependent pattern of BHD responses if a device of this type is placed inside a Casimir
cavity. He discovered that by exploiting a trick with the subtraction of the output of
two balanced photodiodes, it is possible to quantify and map the sub-vacuum
fluctuations of the quantum field and its corresponding energy density inside the cavity.
His modified BHD design uses the electric field of the TEl mode of the Casimir cavity as
the local oscillator. Marecki also discovered that the sub-vacuum (negative) energy
density regions inside a Casimir cavity violate the Quantum Inequalities theorem. We
recommend that an experimental program be implemented to test Marecki's modified
BHD and his predictions for Casimir geometries. Using this device to also test the
efficacy of the Quantum Inequalities theorem is a necessary part of the proposed
experimental program. If such experiments are successful, then it will be necessary to
follow up by implementing a program to develop and commercialize a portable
"modified-Marecki BHD" device for the purpose of detecting, measuring, and spatially
mapping the sub-vacuum (negative) energy regions produced by a putative static (or
"DC") negative energy generator that would be used for engineering the spacetime
surrounding an aerospace platform for propulsion purposes. Because the Casimir effect
and its associated negative energy are incredibly feeble, such putative propulsion
systems will not involve the use of Casimir cavities to produce a free-space distribution
of negative energy surrounding the platform. Therefore, a modified-Marecki BHD will
require a high quality laser for the local oscillator and the photodiodes are allowed to be
much larger in size. A number of modified-Marecki BHD devices could also be
assembled in a sensor array for surveillance and detection of any anomalous aerospace
platforms that might use engineered spacetime effects for propulsion.
