RE: Creating power out of thin air

What everyone else just said.

Sure, you could make walls and roofs out of this stuff so that the difference between the temperature inside the house, and the outside air, would generate electricity. Of course in the summer, that would slowly heat the inside of your house, and you'd LOSE energy powering your air conditioner trying to re-cool everything. Same difference in the winter; you're heating bill would be astronomical. And there's always a loss in conversion from one type of energy to another.

There's only one known way to get energy out of "nothingness" would be the creation of virtual particles where the particles escape disappearing back into nothingness.
