Yes, my description looks like a potential energy.
but there is more, like when I talk of the casimir effect.
there is some minimal energy, minimal wave energy on that ocean.
this energy cannot be harnessed at first look, because you cannot go lower.
but like with the image of the pier casimir effect, maybe something can happen.
I am not at all a reference, and I just relay my understanding of others explanations.
Axil, I do not understand 'Vacuum Energy'. Can you explain where it comes from?

Zero point energy
Display MoreAbout the theoretical production of Mr Geneste, as it is formulated, and accounting from his past books, I feel it is much more general than proposing Weak Interaction, or BEC theory...
about vacuum energy I have watched discussion on that concept with emDrive.
My impression is that Vacuum is like the basic quietest state of a lake, not even a lake, but the perfectly still ocean.
you cannot get energy from the ocean quiet state, but from excited state like from waves, from thermal gradients.
you can see there is huge mass of energy as stored in ocean quiet state, in ocean pressure, in gravity, it seems huge but you cannot do anything with it, as there is nothing lower.
On the opposite you can swim in it (that is what some propose for EmDrive), or catch energy from waves caused by excitation of that still system.
Some like Michael McCulloch (and Unruh) propose that presence of objects in the ocean change the quiet state and allow some action, especially because the lowest energy state of quantum ocean is not perfectly still.
an example is a strange effect observed in ports. when there is a basic wave presence in a port, there is a spontaneous effect that make boats get toward the pier.
it is a casimir pressure, because between the pier and the boat only few waves wavelength are allowed, and that on the opposite open sea side there is much more wavelength allowed....
This is not a free-lunch energy, but it may be useful.
If you take a look at the experiments of George Egely
http://www.slideshare.net/exop…-nano-dust-fusion-40pages
you will see the identical mechanism for vacuum excitation as those seen in the EmDrive resonator. Egely uses a spherical quartz resonator that is tuned to be a resonate microwave resonator by drilling holes at stratigic locations on the surface of the sphere; Those EMF based tuning holes produce LENR based transmutation effects using microwave radiation. EmDrive uses the same microwave resonator principle to produce thrust. I suspect that if you add some carbon dust to the EmDrive resonator, you would see the same LENR transmutation results that Egely has seen. If you add some radioactive isotope to the inside of the EmDrive resonator you would see the stabilization of that isotope.
Conversely, if you put the Egely spherical quartz LENR resonator on a thrust measurement stand, you would see thrust.
