A frustrated non-contact rack-pinion-rack device
A design is proposed for a mechanical device made of a nanoscale pinion sandwiched without contact between two racks that exert opposing forces rooted in the quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field via the lateral Casimir force. The built-in frustration in the design of the system helps it...
