Abstract

The principles of quantum motors based on Casimir platforms (thin-film nanostructures are at issue) are discussed in plain language. The generation of quantum propulsion is caused by the noncompensated integral action of virtual photon momenta upon a configuration unit cell in the platform. The cells in a Casimir platform should be situated in a certain order with optimal geometric parameters. The evaluation of the quantum propulsion shows that, for example, ten square meters of ideal Casimir platforms (it is a complex single-layer structure) could make Cheops pyramid move!
