Subject: Can the zero point energy field be tapped?

I have looked through the archives and there wasn’t another question like this 
exactly.  I had another idea about this.  Other approaches to using the Casimir 
force tap the mechanical energy of the plates moving together, but after the 
plates have been pushed together then energy has to still be put back in to 
separate the plates again.  But what about having the plates fixed in position 
a small distance apart and with one of them with very small holes on the 
surface of size equal to or smaller than the separation distance between the 
plates.  Then, although the resultant force of all virtual particles on the 
outside of the plates would be zero, some of the virtual particles from between 
the plates would strike the solid plate transferring a reaction force in that 
direction while other particles would be able to escape through the holes in 
the opposite plate as a kind of thrust of virtual particles leaving the total 
reaction on the plates in the direction that the solid plate faces.  You then 
have a constant linear force produced from the zero point field.  Do you think 
this would work?  I hope I'm being clear and this makes sense to you.
