John Hutchison Inventor John Hutchison is a self-taught inventor who has demonstrated applications of the casimir effect through Q-Cells. But his notoriety comes from the Hutchison effect. If he's right, his approach and demonstration illustrates how gravity can be controlled and zero-point energy obtained from the vacuum. His findings have been studied by NASA, Max Planck Institute, Toshiba, US DOD, Canadian DOD, and by Jane's reporter Nick Cook.
