The speculative practice of extracting usable work from the quantum vacuum's ground state energy. Unlike ZPE [engineering], harnessing focuses on methods to tap into this energy, often portrayed as drawing limitless power from the seething foam of virtual particles. Proposed mechanisms often involve dynamic Casimir effects (moving mirrors in a vacuum to generate photons) or [manipulating] Van der Waals forces. In popular science and fiction, it's the hand-wavy power source for [everything], despite physicists pointing out the vacuum state is the lowest possible energy; you can't milk the bottom of the well.
