Abstract
Theoretical analysis into the energetics of a novel putative electromagnetic field propulsion device by the author, found that it was able to impart momenergy to the ground state of the electromagnetic field; some rest-energy of the craft was converted to kinetic energy of the craft. Electrical analysis showed that the propulsor was always a net electrical load – if the device accelerated from one frame, then deaccelerated to the original frame, both processes would consume electrical work. The aim of this paper is to look further into this sinking of high-grade electrical energy into the field ground state and to show that an even more pernicious form of 2nd Law of Thermodynamics exists.

Looking further ahead, if the ideas are valid (especially the putative propulsion device), one wonders if there are other phenomenon that can dump momenergy to the k.e. of the zpe modes of the field. Might this have something to do with the Black-hole Information paradox... are we neglecting a system and thus might we find that evolution is always unitary?

To see how hunches work and the creative process, I can see where I can get a factor of h^2 in the Area Law - this would come from considering the zpe mass-energy itself moving (hw) and then this movement itself being quantised (another factor of hw) as another harmonic oscillator (there's a restoring force as the modes move relative to one another, see paper in question). It's just a hunch bouncing around, not even on scrap paper yet.
As to how a BH could generate entropy like this, I don't know at present. I believe there is a mechanism for the EMProp device to dump momentum in this fashion via the Feynman disk/changing of radius during cycling (see first paper in series www.evosci.org/EMProp.htm. So who knows? It may involve the setting up of large static ExB fields and then a change in radius as the star collapses. All hunches and conjecture at the moment.
I think these ideas warrant another paper and I may or may not make some of the ideas more rigorous in the current paper, along the lines of the previous comment.
