Resumen:
We review recent work on the Casimir interaction energy between
cylindrical shells. We include proposals for future experiments
involving cylinders, such us a null experiment using
quasi-concentric cylinders, a cylinder in front a conducting
plate, and a cylindrical version of the rack and pinion powered by
Casimir lateral force. We also present an exact formula for the
theoretical evaluation of the vacuum interaction energy between
eccentric cylindrical shells, and describe improved analytical and
numerical evaluations for the particular case of concentric
cylinders.
