Put very short: The Casimir-effect is between to planes and results (in most cases) in an attractive force between said plates. You can't harness said force without kicking the system off-balance, rendering it useless.

It's really strange that they hide behind "too difficult for you to understand". The concepts of virtual particles and vacuum-fluctuation are not that tricky, especially when viewed strictly from the experimental side. I guess, that "invention" is either a mistake or a scam.
