Outline
I. Force from equilibrium fluctuations: Particles & Radiation; thermal, quantum & critical
II. Force from "active matter": Torques & pressure; Ratchets, Instability & Self-propulsion
III. Work from fluctuations: Ratchets, and propulsion
IV. Fluctuational QED: Heat and non-equilibrium force in the near field; friction and heat conductivity from fluctuations
V. Engine: Propulsive force, power, friction, and efficiency
VI. Dynamic Casimir: Dissipation and fluctuations at zero temperature
VII. Summary
