(A Casimir force heat engine)
David Gelbwaser, Noah Graham, Matthias Krüger
Outline
I. Force: Casimir force, normal and lateral
II. Motion: Ratchets, and propulsion
III. Heat: Energy transfer and non-equilibrium force in the near field
IV. Reciprocity: Constraints on propulsive force
V. Power: Work, motion, Onsager, friction, and efficiency
VI. Summary
