Earth as a armature in a selonoid
Earth as a armature in a selonoid
(OP)
I was just wondering if anyone would be able to confirm or not this idea.
If earth was wrapped in a large copper coil, would the rotation of earth produce an endless supply of electromagnetic energy? Of course you'd have to ignore the immense engineering problems and costs, i'm wondering purely theoretically. I got the idea after i got one of those flashlights that you have to shake to power. So my idea is just on a larger scale.

Of course! I wouldn't settle for less. . .

If you were in space it would be easer to just string a mile long wire to capture electrons from space.

Not sure what publication it was in (Scientific American I think, i will do some digging), but NASA conducted an experiment where they "dangled" a long copper conductor from the shuttle while in orbit. It produce voltages that exceeded the limits of the test platform (400+ volts if memory serves me) that ultimately shorted out putting an end to the experiment. I believe the idea was to test the viability of using such a method to power satellites eliminating the need for solar panels.
I know this is not exactly what you where are describing, but it is in principle...

That was the most I have laughed in at least a month... All i can offer in return is a star...
Thanks
