Huh? Everything about this thread is hypothetical, of course we don't have ZP extraction machines, and zero point energy has nothing to do with dark energy or dark matter. Zero-point energy is the energy that naturally exists within the vacuum of any space. Even a capsule of completely empty space (empty of matter) is still thriving with spontaneous and naturally occurring energy, popping in and out of existence. At this level reality is like a violent sea of probabilities and chaos. If we could learn to harvest this zero-point energy the output should be vastly larger than the input required to harvest it.
Oh, we have those Zero Point Energy things - thise "dark" energy extractors.

Valone described a report in the July 8, 2004 issue of Nature about how the “Dark Energy” of astronomy is ZPE, and is why the universe is accelerating. He said that when he confronted astronomer Reba Goodman about this nomenclature, and that they are describing Zero Point Energy, so why didn’t they just call it ZPE, the astronomer replied that they “wanted to keep it vague.”
EDIT: Indeed I actually believe machines of this nature have already been built but suppressed.
They wanted to keep it vague? Haha, well they confused me. I used to theorize that ZPE was just dark energy, it turns out I was actually correct after all. Have they always been considered the same thing?
You're right that ZPE has nothing to do with dark MATTER. However... ZEP and "dark" energy are one and the same. From: www.pureenergysystems.com...

You're on the right track, but to the wrong destination. Seems like you're thinking alchemically, but the cool stuff is in nanotechnology, because altering atoms to change something into something else is (a) currently impossible (to change the atoms that make an iron brick into atoms that make a gold brick)
