'''Claus Wilhelm Turtur''' (born March 26, 1961, Bonn) is a German doctor of physics and professor at Wolfenbüttel Technical College (Ostfalian Academy of Applied Sciences Wolfenbüttel-Braunschweig), author og books, inventor, and visionary of ''inexhaustible zero point energy''.

'''Claus Wilhelm Turtur''' (born March 26, 1961, Bonn) is a German doctor of physics and professor at Wolfenbüttel Technical College (Ostfalian Academy of Applied Sciences Wolfenbüttel-Braunschweig), author of books, inventor, and visionary of ''inexhaustible zero point energy''.

Turtur wrote mathematical training books for students and, with book-on-demand, open-access journals without peer review and on the internet, published papers on allegedly utilizable and inexhaustible [[Zero-point energy|zero point energy]] (space energy, vacuum energy, ZPE) which, according to Turtur, corresponded to an alleged "dark energy" of the universe which was only loosely known but could be put to use as mechanical energy with a fan wheel motor Turtur invented and experimented with. In his assumptions on zero point energy, Turtur refers to Austrian born Croatian [[Nikola Tesla]], French [[Graviflight]] tinkerer Jean-Louis Naudin, the Casimir effect, inventor (and owner of InterStellar Technologies Corporation) Fabrizio Pinto, Robert Forward, Anders O. Wistrom and Armik V. M. Khachatourian, Gravitec company, and experiments in the last decades on the effect of electrostatic fields. Turtur does not want his activities to be rated as research on [[Perpetual Motion|perpetual motion]] devices or similar miraculous machines, although he in fact does use the term ''over-unity'' for his vacuum energy rotor (quote: ''There was more mechanical output being produced than electricity being used !''). Furtherly striking are Turtur's websites kept on the webspace of Wolfenbüttel-Braunschweig Technical College, as they introduce various concepts of perpetual motions throughout history (see screenshot on the right).

Turtur is also creator of a so called "zero point energy circuit" (see further below).

Turtur called attention to his experiments with colleagues and was confronted with the criticism he had only demonstrated the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biefeld%E2%80%93Brown_effect Biefeld-Brown effect]. The Biefeld-Brown effect happens with asymetric capacitor plates with an applied electrical field and refers to the force in direction of the smaller plate of the capacitor.  The Biefeld-Brown effect is produced by ions which are accelerated by the field. The smaller plate of the capacitor ionizes molecules of the surrounding medium due to the high power of the electrical field and accelerated towards the larger plate. (See article [[Electrical gravity]])

The reduced speed of the Turtur fan wheel at increased voltage caused the inventor  to conclude that the Biefeld-Brown effect "played a role", although, in his papers on the experiments done in air, he inadmissibly concludes a successful detection of the use of zero point energy. Other forces than vacuum energy were claimed to be irrelevant in his vacuum experiments. According to Turtur, the acting force in vacuum was zero point energy in the quantum vaccuum at a certainty of 98%. He ascribed the current of 0,1 pA (10^-13 A)to losses. The supply capacity of the high voltage power supply is completely ignored but should be at least one watt. Since athmospheric pressure was not lowered below 10^-7 mBar, ionic wind out of radical ions and corona effects are a plausible explanation for the observed rotation.

Both mechanical construction and inevitable inaccuracies of the impeller cause the impeller wheel jerks into a position of minimal energy when high voltage is applied. The movement of the rotor also leads to changes in capacitance and currents which can bring a non-ideal and unstressed HV power supply in "vibrancy" with the rotor, involuntarily resulting in an electrostatic motor. Key factors e.g. are internal resistance of the voltage source and capacity of the circuit. Usage of a parallel capacitor or an alternative power supply of different type during an experiment would have answered this question, but was apparently omitted.

Turtur does not respond to issues with plate spacings which were too far apart for the Casimir effect and the imperfect version of a perfect plate condensator due to tilted wings. The large distance of several milimeters rules out the Casimier-Polder effect as explanation of rotation. No other experiments by Turtur showing these forces at other distances are known.

Turtur's experiments were not met by scientific recognition from etablished science.  According to an article ''Herrn Turturs Physik'' [Herr Turtur's physics] in "Die Tageszeitung" dated July 11, 2009<ref>Benno Schirrmeister: Herrn Turturs Physik, Die Tageszeitung, 11.07.2009 [http://www.taz.de/1/archiv/print-archiv/printressorts/digi-artikel/?ressort=wi&dig=2009%2F07%2F11%2Fa0104&cHash=7da6cf8a9a]</ref> an attempt by Turtur to publish in the journal "Annalen der Physik" failed due to peer review. The experimental setup as described in Turtur's article was rated unprofessional by reviewers: ''..The experimental setup is far away from professional standards..''. Colleagues ignored his experiments or criticised them, as the experimental physicist Gisela Anton who commented: "… this energy cannot be used according to current principles of physics". Immanuel Bloch, director of Munich Max Planck Institute, warned: ''I should rather be careful''. Off the records, comments like „nonsense“ and "every minute dedicated to this is a pointless waste of time" were being voiced.
