Abstract
We calculate heating rate, attractive conservative and tangential dissipative fluctuation electromagnetic forces felt by a thick plate moving with nonrelativistic velocity parallel to a closely spaced another plate in rest using relativistic fluctuation electrodynamics. We argue that recently developed relativistic out of equilibrium theory of fluctuation electromagnetic interactions [A.I. Volokitin, B.N.J. Persson, Phys. Rev. B78 (2008) 155437; arXiv:/cond-mat.other/0807.1004v1, 2008] has serious drawbacks.
