Using the Principle of Equivalence in Thrust Capacitor Technology*

In 1921, Theodor Kaluza discovered that Maxwell’s equations could be derived from Einstein’s equations if a fifth dimension was added to the usual four, provided that the size of the fifth dimension was on the order of the Planck length. In effect, Kaluza related electromagnetic and gravitational forces at the Planck length. There is another way to relate electromagnetic and gravitational forces using the principle-of-equivalence in thrust capacitor technology. Inertia becomes a local interaction with a huge vacuum energy that causes dark energy. This requires zero-active-mass cosmology to separate momentum from inertia.

Thrust capacitor technology is described by the manufacturer as using an interaction with the thermal Unruh vacuum to produce thrust. The ratio of Larmor photons, to Unruh photon rate in a thermal bath, is 4πΔτ. Where Δτ is the local proper time that electrons are accelerated. The technology creates hotter Unruh photons in front of the accelerating electrons, that forward scatter into Larmor photons, that further accelerate the already accelerating electrons. The Unruh bath has a Tolman temperature gradient.

Here we describe gravitational potential binding-energy in quantum SU(2)R pre-gravity. Electron wavepackets are in 8-dimensional octonion space. The thrust capacitor technology Landauer scatters electron wavepackets in the capacitor insulator. A backreacting Planck mass produces gravitational freefall kinetic energy by emitting a Lorentz boson into the quantum vacuum.
