Casimir Crystal

Material

Use a strong electric field to fix the charged particles, and the Coulomb repulsion between the particles will spontaneously form a spatial ring-shaped ion crystal. After applying a weak static magnetic field, the zero-point energy of the particles inside the crystal is excited, producing an obvious Casimir effect.

Using the force of a strong electric field, a spatial ring crystal can be formed by the Coulomb repulsion between particles. In a weak, static magnetic field the Casimir effect can be observed.

Note: Hydrogen created during the refining process during Crude Oil-based production must be recycled through the system to ensure full efficiency. Hydrogen quantity shown in final Stage is remaining surplus Hydrogen which can be diverted elsewhere.

Player Tips & Tricks

Each Assembling Machine making Casimir Crystals makes enough for three Assembling Machines making Plane Filters (3:1 ratio).
Four Assembling Machines making Casimir Crystals make enough for three Assembling Machines making Quantum Chips (3:4 ratio).
