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

The only use for Casimir Crystals is to make Plane Filters, which in turn are only used to make Quantum Chips.
- 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).
Since each Assembling Machine Mk.II making Casimir Crystals will need 180 Hydrogen per minute, one Conveyor Belt Mk.I will only be able to supply two Assembling Machine Mk.II with enough Hydrogen for continuous production.
