And here are several details:
This new type of energy-source can be
explained in short words as following:
Electrostaic charge produces electric field.
This field influences the wavelength of the Quantum mechanical zero point oscillations
of the vacuum. I have built a rotor, which can a small part of this energy from
the zero point oscillations and convert it into classical
mechanical energy.
Furthermore I have verified the functionning
of the rotor experimentally. For some time there had been the doubt that gas
molecules cause the rotation of the electrostatic rotor. This is excluded since
3.Dez.2008 by making the rotor spin in the vacuum.
In analogy with the electrostaic
rotor I made planning of a magneticall driven rotor.

A new type of motor is
presented, at which the electrostatic field produced by an electric
charge brings
a rotor into rotation. The physical principle of the motor is explained
on the
basis of Coulomb-forces with additional aid of the image-charge method.
Furthermore
a possible proposal for an experimental setup for the purpose of
practical
verification is presented. The assembly described contains a rotor
of 20 centimeters
in diameter, taking up a torque in the order of magnitude of about
0.1µNm. The setup
is not yet technically optimized for later applications, but it is
designed in
a way to be easy understandable. The origin of the energy driving the
rotor can
be lead back to the energy of the vacuum.

Additional
numeric considerations about the optimization of an setup for an
electrostatic motor can be found
here.
A thought experiment is considered in which somebody observes an electrical
charge, moving with constant speed relatively to a given frame of reference,
in which the observer is in rest. Let us further assume that no electric fields
and no magnetic fields interact with this moving charge, so that there is no
force acting on the charge. Consequently it keeps constant speed.
But the moving charge itself produces a magnetic
field within the reference frame. Because the moving charge does not
alter its
speed and thereby its energy, it can not emanate any power. But the
generated magnetic
field contains energy, and we can calculate the power being emanated
from the
moving charge, which we find to be not constant as a function of time.
The
existence of this energy and the alteration of the power is a first
paradoxon
of the magnetic field.
If we follow the trace of a specified element
of volume containing field energy, a further calculation proves, that
this
contents of energy decreases during time. This unexplained loss of
energy as a
consequence of the mere propagation in space is a second paradoxon of
the
magnetic field.

In previous work it
was demonstrated, how vacuum-energy can be made manifest in the
laboratory and
how it can be practically converted into mechanical energy with the use
of electrostatic
forces driving a rotor using the energy of an electrostatic field.
In analogy to this electrostatic
principle, the energy of a magnetic field allows an alternative method
to
convert vacuum-energy into mechanical energy. A design of an experiment
to
realize this conversion is conceived here. The calculation of the
forces and
torques of an exemplary rotor leads to the expectation that a
magnetically
driven rotor can be built of the movement should be observable.

It has been discussed several
times, whether ionic wind might take any influence onto the
experimental
verification of the conversion of vacuum-energy
into
mechanical energy presented in [1]. A first demonstration, that
such
electrohydrodynamic effects do not drive the rotor converting energy is
given
in [2]. Here is the presentation of further investigations to exclude
the
relevancy of ionic wind for this experiment.

In order to make vacuum-energy perceptible in the laboratory the author developed
a theoretical approach, which he experimentally verified with a special electrostatic
rotor that converts vacuum-energy into classical mechanical energy causing a
rotation of the rotor. Because all former experiments had been executed under
air at room pressure, there was the request on various occasions to implement
the experiment into the vacuum in order to prove, that the movement of the rotor
was not caused by an artefact due to the recoil of ionized gas molecules. For
this purpose the setup was now realized at the absence of air, this means within
a vacuum at a pressure sufficient to exclude gas discharge. The experiments
have been performed at the University of Magdeburg. It is now successfully proven
that the experimental verification of conversion of vacuum-energy into mechanical
energy is not an artefact caused by ionized gas molecules.

Links: There are some other experimental investigations, which have a connection with the work reported here.
Three of them shall be mentioned in the following lines:
(1.) Anders O. Wistrom and Armik V. M. Khachatourian from the Department of
Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Riverside,
California 92521 experimentally verified the rotation of electrostatically charged
spheres. They did not publish a theoretical explanation, but they have a well
elaborate experiment, which they published in the Journal "Applied Physics
Letters". The
link to their publication is here.
(2.) At the American space institute of NASA, Hector Luis Serrano (President of Gravitec Inc.) investigated the forces onto an asymmetrical capacitor inside the vacuum. He observed forces which are rather similar to the forces which I present on my page here. The NASA results have been obtained in July 2003 but due to confidentinal reasons, they have been published only in December 2007. The link is here.
(3.) Harald Chmela (in Austria) began to try a further development of my rotor
for the conversion of vacuum energy, but it does not yet work. His problem seems
to be mainly a problem of friction in the mechanical bearing of the rotor. The
link to his work is here, and the
link to my explanation of his friction problem is here. It would be nice
and desirable, if Mr. Chmela would be successful in his further development.
The electrostatic field emanating from some
electric charge can be calculated with the use of Coulomb’s law. This
law does not
make any statement regarding the speed of propagation of the field,
infinite
speed is assumed automatically. But the Theory of Relativity
does not allow
such speed, it rather restricts the speed of propagation to the speed
of light.
If we take this into account, the electrostatic field strength of any
charge depends
also on the speed of propagation of the field. In this
article the principle
of the propagation of the electric field with finite speed is
explained, and
an example is demonstrated, in which the speed of propagation of the
field is
necessary to calculate electrostatic field strength.

In
geometrodynamics, the energy density of the waves
of quantum fluctuations leads to the well- known problem of energy-
compensation within the explanation of the energy of
geometrodynamical
excitones. The correlation between their energy density and the spatial
dimension of their volume in connection with the modes of zero- point
oscillations in the inside of their volume is the subject of the
preceding
article.

As generally known, the speed of propagation of
light in solid state bodies can be different from the speed of light in
vacuum.
That the mere presence of electric or magnetic fields in the vacuum can
suffice
to influence the speed of light, is a hypothesis under discussion,
which is based
on considerations of Quantumelectrodynamics.
For a verification of this hypothesis, an interference-experiment
might be performed, of which the planning is given at the end of this
article.
