How on earth would anyone know what's developed, if it's classified? When I worked for the DOD, I literally had no idea what half of the people in my office worked on, much less the office the next floor up. I don't think my badge would even get me on another floor. (I never tried, I knew a dude who got fired for taking a shortcut and stepping into a SCIF because he was trying to get somewhere in a hurry. No second chance, no reprimand, just walked him out of the building as soon as he set off the alarm.)
When you work for the DOD you got a LOT of good reasons to "stay in your lane."
By that reasoning, it is unimaginable that the published patents are in any way correlated to the Navy’s real research efforts.
Wikipedia is useless on any subject that is political or on national security. These days I only use it for basic uncontroversial facts, like: "why is the sky blue."
Suspect that these Patent Applications were simply an attempt to increase the density of fog thereby making it even more difficult to see
anything real (in the pipeline).
Was there any reportage of something new which may have been 'new news' speculation - thus creating a need for fog to detract the curious?

Sometimes things happen that we cannot explain - but there is always a rational explanation at some point. There are currently about 7.21 Billion active smartphones globally

and yet . . . not one clear picture of an alien, not a single movie of a genuine UFO. Nothing.

Post #118 shouldn't be overlooked. According to Wikipedia:
"His [Salvatore Pais] patent applications for the US Navy attracted attention for their potential energy-producing applications, but also doubt about their feasibility, and speculation that they may be scams, pseudoscience, or disinformation intended to mislead the United States' adversaries."
“. . . but also doubt about their feasibility, and speculation that they may be scams, pseudoscience, or disinformation intended to mislead the United States' adversaries."
Possibly that is an explanation. But why? To flush out some spies or moles? Any reasonably competent US adversary would see straight through this so what purpose does it serve? Maybe it was done for a laugh?

The quantum vacuum plasma is no laughing matter.
It is the electric glue of our plasma universe after all! 😉
And, let's face it, no one predicted the Lamb shift.
Pais come across like a quack, but a sincere quack. He would be easy to dismiss, except for the involvement of the U.S. Secretary of the Navy in asking that the U.S. Patent office approve his patent applications. How unusual that must have been. Patents only afford commercial protection while revealing the idea’s details. It does not provide military secrecy. Plus, if Pais’ ideas are of national security importance (as it seems they must be for the U.S. Navy to be involved), why then are they allowing him to give public interviews. The whole thing seems super weird.
