Physicists Recreate Black Hole Energy Extraction in the Lab

The device amplified waves using synthetic rotation, giving researchers a lab test of the Penrose-Zel'dovich process, the team said.

Summary by Science Daily
Researchers have recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole using a stationary device that produces synthetic ultrafast rotation. The achievement transforms a long-standing theoretical idea into a practical experiment and could inspire new advances in optics, wireless communications, and quantum science.

More than half a century ago, Sir Roger Penrose was considering a scenario in which energy could be extracted from a black hole running at extreme speeds. He proposed that a particle entering its ergosphere – an area of space driven by a black hole rotating – could be divided into two parts. [...]
