A quantum topological network model that might allow for the production of energy through the employment of vacuum electromagnetic currents form is based upon foundational principles of topological geometrodynamics (TGD) (Pitkänen, 1995a, 1995b). Such a production photon-factory would have the capability of drawing upon a seemingly inexhaustible supply of what in TGD formalism is a ``vapor phase'' of photons. Particularly in the presence of Bose-Einstein condensate photons, it is theoretically possible to convert these ``vapor phase'' photons into condensed photons that can then be harnessed and transformed into useful kinetic energy by more traditional means. TGD presents a view, similar to certain string models, of spacetimes as surfaces within an 8-dimensional space H that is a product of Minkowski space future lightcone M+4 and a complex projective space CP2. TGD model allows for topological merging, akin to the condensation process in classical physics, of free elementary particle like 3-surfaces to the background surface of larger size. ``Topological evaporation'' corresponds to the reverse of this process in which particles go ``outside'' the classical spacetime. TGD predicts vacuum electromagnetic fields having as their source vacuum gauge currents instead of currents composed of elementary particles. The vacuum gauge currents generate coherent states of photons and for the lightlike vacuum currents the coherent state arises in a resonant-like manner. A presence of Bose-Einstein condensates of photons in a nearby spacetime sheet external to the coherent-state generator would allow for a transfer of photons from that sheet into a vapor phase. The capture of these photons into an electro-mechanical propulsion system may provide a source of energy which can be converted into a form useful for the propulsion and acceleration of a space craft. An emission of coherent light from a region not containing charged particles would be a clear indication of vacuum current presence. Whether this entire process, if it is feasible, could generate enough useful energy for spacecraft propulsion is a major open question. However, it does appear that in the least such a mechanism could provide for some type of quantum communication with storage of information in both phase and intensity of the coherent emf and with the vacuum currents acting as quantum antennae. An examination of certain models known as quantum cellular automata and networks (QCAM, CLAN) (Dudziak, 1993) and synchronized heterogeneous dynamical networks (SHDN) (Chinarov, 1998) may provide some further insight into how the suggested stimulated coherent production of photons might be initiated, controlled, and stabilized in an application for space travel or communication.
