Quantum vacuum plasma thruster

A Quantum Vacuum Plasma Thruster (QVT) is a theoretical propulsion device that aims to generate thrust by interacting with the quantum vacuum—the underlying energy field of empty space—using plasma (ionized particles). It proposes that by manipulating quantum fluctuations, the thruster can produce a small but continuous push without expelling traditional propellant. Unlike conventional engines, which rely on fuel, a QVT would tap into the vacuum's energy to propel spacecraft. While still in experimental stages and not yet proven, it represents a potential breakthrough in advanced space propulsion technology.
