  • A key thing you are forgetting, for a motor to work, you need to force the 2 components to move relative to each other. How do you plan to lock the rotor in place (relative to some other frame) so that it spins wrt Earth?

  • Load

    Look it up before you kill us all with something like this.

  • would that make longer days??? shorter years man this would Fu^* up errthang yo!!

  • How would you keep the outer coil stationary to actually produce energy? This would absolutely never work unless their were a rocket or something keeping it still and then the sheer magnitude of the thing would make it impossible to build with today's technology. Better would be to make the moon a giant solar panel and run a huge wire the whole to the Earth. Though neither would actually be built.

  • @xxschlager420xx The device would need periodic orbital stabilization since extracting energy from a magnetic field will tend to perturb the orbit of the device.

    Without some form of stabilization, the orbit will deteriorate and the device will burn up in the atmosphere.

    It is possible, but the question still remains of how to efficiently transmit the power safely to the Earth.

  • btw we do have basically free energy already... it's called the sun

  • @PRIMEx420 sun will die out soon

  • @eilselyiu8 No, it won't.

  • @MiniMackeroni the sun has been living longer than earth,

  • @eilselyiu8 That doesn't mean it'll die out soon. It will burn out in 7 BILLION years.

    Seeing as how Earth itself is about 4.5 billion years old and homo sapiens alone has only been here for a puny 200,000 years.

    And if you mean how the sun will bloat up into a Red Giant before it burns out, it'll bloat up when it's about 6.80 billion years old. (About 200 million years later, it finally dies.)

  • @MiniMackeroni different circumstances will appear, like a black hole near the sun, or a cmet heits the sun, dud theres many comets in space and accsident, the sun's life span was just estimated, no1 is even sure and theres no perfect answere and prof

  • @eilselyiu8 ... I'm not sure if you're trolling, or if you're just that stupid. Asteroids hit the sun ALL OF THE TIME. An asteroid is so insignificant in comparison to the sun. The sun is so big in fact, that it could hold 1,000,000 Earths.

    And how the hell is the mass required to form a black hole supposed to just pop up in proximity to our solar system? Even if one would appear for some magical reason, a black hole would tear the Earth apart long before the sun would get sucked up.

  • @eilselyiu8 not for another 5 billion years

  • lol i had the same idea when i was 6... the difference is that even at 6 i realized this could never work :)

  • Think Futurama did this ;p

  • The earths spin could theoretically be captured i suppose, but if the machine was as big as shown on the vid,the resources and costs used to make it would probably be too astronomical to make this idea a viable option. And dont forget about polar shift. The machine doesnt look like its very portable. Nice concept though. :)

  • what if we make earth spin X10 its normal speed xD

  • Lol, if you made this and it worked it would eventually slow the earth down and we'd all die

  • @timatlightbox wont slow it that much..earth spin is powerful

  • @kamalmichael ya but you beter make it portable because of Geomagnetic reversal!? LITTLE PROBLEM.

  • the earth is already making energy from its own spin. the earth's rotation causes a natural magnetic field that stops some solar wind from the sun from entering our atmosphere. It actually creates its own layer called the ionosphere. a large shield around the earth made up of ions or charged particles. There was a genius named Nikola Tesla who found a way to harness this energy but he wanted it to be free since it is already part of the earth and humans didnt make it. R.I.P. Nikola Tesla

  • @kalebstereo good comment.

  • @kalebstereo No, there was no way to harness that energy, Nikola Tesla did nothing of the sort. He made microwave power transmission. This would take power from a power plant and broadcast it wirelessly.

  • put the name of song please

  • @manolillo123 got it from u tube audio swap...but cant remember which one...

  • @kamalmichael thanks my friend nice song

  • @kamalmichael Ercola feat Daniela "Every word"

  • the bearing hook up to venus and mars

  • @sharath771 who knows.. maybe one day ???

  • what does the bearing hook up to? it cant just float in mid space

  • There's an easier way: Whenever we lift an object, its orbit changes. This makes it accelerate. When bringing it back to the surface again, it decelerates. This fluctuates its kinetic energy. We can use these horizontal forces between object and Earth to load springs or even make a flywheel gain momentum.

    A high rev flywheel at the right angle (and preferably near the equator) taps energy from this celestial movement. Feel free to check out my site.

  • @Nomasain Excellent. For the first time Im hearing someone who makes sense.I will check out your site. Thx for the wonderful comment.

  • yeah thats great,,,, problem is the earth doesnt spin anywhere near that rate ,,,voltage output would be minimal ,,if any ,,,dont see how your decoupling the device from earths surface ,

  • @mugwamp4 Earth does spin fast ..we dont notice it. Its Decoupled from the earth using a bearing...it has been done before ie decoupling a swinging pendulum to prove the earth spun underneth it.

  • @kamalmichael no.. the earth spins slowly (1 revolution every 24 hours) not a rapid rate, thats why we dont notice it ,,,yes you can decouple a swinging weight on a pendulum but that is not producing energy from the earth's spin .all it demonstrates is the earths angle of axis ..if you could suspend a huge wheel above the equator and allow the earths rotation to move it ,, it would spin rapidy and you could harness the energy... unfortunately you cant!

  • @mugwamp4 at the Equator>

    Earth is about 25,ooo miles.

    One rotation in about 24 hours.

    Therefore OVER 1,ooo miles per hour AT the Equator > THAT ain't slow.

    Santa Claus standing on the North Pole spins One Rotation Still in 24 hours. but he would be traveling only 2 feet. His nose would anyway> .ooo25 miles per hour> THAT is slow.

    add all the factors together > Rotation/Axis, Orbit of Sun, Orbit of Solar system, Orbit of Galaxy = 144,000 miles per hour.

    MAN>How do the Satellites keep up?

  • @SuperChuckRaney satellites stay up because of gravity...i think you're better off asking santa claus to deliver a perpetual motion machine next Christmas ,,than to think you can harness the energy of a rotating galaxy to any effect...

  • @mugwamp4 you forgot to say> With the currently available Technology.

    The Atom bomb was not even a twinkle in the eye> in the 1600's. Now you can get one in a brief case.

    A Pistol was not even thought of in 500 BC, now you can get one in any high school

    Strictly a matter of Technology and understanding, before a Perpetual Motion Machine is working.

    For the "Earth Spin Generator, we have present several of the pieces NOW for one. Just going to take the right person to Harness the potential.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah thats great,,,, problem is the earth doesnt spin anywhere near that rate ,,,voltage output would be minimal ,,if any dont see how your decoupling the device from earths surface ,

  • make,s people fool

  • @nadeem220 and in english ?

  • And what do you do when the rotation stops? The potential energy in the spinning is finite, and quite small (J*dw/dt), stopping the earth is probably alot worse than pollutiong the atmosphere

  • @hNk12 its a bit like say a fly hitting a train will slow it down ....it will slow it down a little ... but not much. Earth spin is very powerful.

  • @kamalmichael Let's calculate it then. The earth spins @ 2pi/(24*3600)=7,27E-5 rad/s

    Erot=Iw^2/2 where I=2mr^2/5 for a solid sphere, the earth: r=6371E3 [m], m=5,97E24 [kg]

    gives I=9,69E37 [kgm^2]

    Erot= (9,96E37*(7,27E-5)^2)/2 = 2,56E29 Joule. How much is that?

    Well, we spend 474E18 = 4,74E20J per year [2008]

    We could use it for 1E9 (not really true, cause Erot is proportional to w squared) years.

    I agree, its like shootin peanuts at a freight train :)

  • @kamalmichael- Lol, and what is the middle part anchored to? Hopes and dreams? This makes as much sense as flying by pulling your legs up with your hands.

  • @danielodors look up Foucault pendulum..The part middle(inner ring of the bearing) is suspended.. a bit like Focault pendulum

  • @kamalmichael - The suspension in the fulcrum pendulum is not special at all. The energy it takes to stop the pendulum from staying suspended in space is extremely minuscule. To have it even do that effect, it has to be set in motion, which takes energy. See, the act of harnessing energy anchors the device to the earth. Even if the bearings were frictionless, and there was no atmosphere, the coils would cause extreme magnetic resistance, thus anchoring the whole device to the earth.

  • @danielodors you seem to know what you are talking about but there is an equal amount of user who seem to think it will work. I m not either way inclined. I just put ideas up and let people discus as there is no way i can build the device to prove or disprove the idea. Thank you for your comments any way.

  • @kamalmichael - Oh, I see. Well, thanks for throwing ideas out there. Pixar does the same thing too. Doesn't matter if the idea is good or not, but you need to throw stuff out there to start improving. More people should do the same.

  • before powered flight was invented some people thought all you had to do was lift yourself up off the ground, and the earth would move under you, do it its rotation

    at the equator that would be 1000 miles per hour.

    the thing they forgot is, the air moves with the ground. HAHAHAHAHHAHA!

  • @MrHobiecat try looking up the pedulum that dont swing with the earth at the pole... if it swing with the earth

    it would mark out a staight line... however it makes a star pattern ... meaning the earth has spun under it. Look it

    please.... where else do you think this idea came from ?

  • @kamalmichael and how much energy do you think is there? put a finely balanced and extreemly low friction bicycle wheel on its side in a vice, and see it it rotates as the earth 'spins under it'.

    If the slight friction of bicycle roller bearings is enough to stop the wheel from spinning in the vice, ANY load you try to put on it will do the same.

    At the poles you will get nothing.

  • @MrHobiecat u need to look it up ... if the outer bit of the cycle wheel is attached to the earth (..at the poles only), and the inner ring of the bearing is not, and a weight is suspended, i gonna stick my neck out and say the inner ring will not turn. You are extermly rude in some of your comments..You loose your temper you loose the arguement.. you need to look up that as well.. sorry to say you are going to be barred. there is no room for bullies here

  • this is cool free energy for the whole world

  • Ahmmmmm..... (ahem)- the bearing housing is attached to the same foundation (ie the EARTH) as the stator, dude. The bearings will turn in the same direction and at the exact same rate as the stator. Why has no one picked up on this?

  • @homeostasis4me theres a very HEAVY coil pack attached to the inner ring.,holding it stationary or near enough.. Only the outer ring is is attached to the earth and is able to move freely with the earth spin.

  • @kamalmichael OK! I'm game. What prevents the "heavy" coil pack from, you know....spinning with everything else?

  • @homeostasis4me ball bearings

  • @kamalmichael What, perchance, prevents the bearing assembly from spinning at the exact same rate and in the exact same direction as the shafe assembly? Dude. The stator houses the bearings and MUST be anchored at a stationary point, or it is free to turn with the shaft, coil assembly, etc. I mean, REALLY dude. Think.

  • @homeostasis4me u really need to look up Foucault pendulum dude...cant have people come on my site without doing their homework

  • umm one question, why is this in space? surely you could get the same effect 10ft off the ground :/

  • @sxephlI made to look bigger to show the principle...

  • @kamalmichael bigger..giggity

  • It could decelerate the spinning earth, because of friction forces....

    But before that, you must find a way to keep the "not fixed to earth" thing up in the air...

  • @aromaze A fly hitting a train slows it down but not by much. I suspect earth spin is a lot powerful than one can imagine it to be... the occean friction or atmosphere friction has little effect on it. Also The heavy coil pack is attached to the inner ring and is suspended in air. Thx 4 ur comment.

  • @kamalmichael people think i am crazy when i say the planet is an homopolar motor ... and solar system probably to .. and all the planet is on the same axe and turn the same direction around the sun and furter they are from the sun theire elipse is weir due to the weekening induction field of the sun ... if not then what keep all the orbit on the same astral plain and why all orbiting planet is round and why lava move and dont just stay put because its metal anyways i might be crazy after all

  • @GHOSTTOYS good observation

  • @kamalmichael Dude! the oceans and the atmosphere SPIN WITH THE EARTH. If they didnt, the wind speed at the equator would be 1000 miles per hour!

    Were you home schooled by your mommy?!

  • Deffinately outside the box thinking, sadly though it wouldn't be free energy, lol and you would need to use just as much energy to sustain the position of the generator coil, and on top of that you would be draining the kinetic energy of the earth's rotation significantly wich would have detramental effects on the seasons and days.... Within years the planet would effectively be dead and uninhabitable do to the inherent climate change caused by the slowing of earth's rotation.... But like i sa

  • @JoeySpazoHaha the coil generator is heavy and suspended on the inner ring. The weight of it holds it in place. It may start to spin a little but never as much as the outer ring thats attached to the Earth. It may slow down the Earth a little..but not too much

  • hehehe this is pretty funny...

  • @MegatronAngel ??????

  • This would work if instead of using something Earth-bound, you build a space station ring that went all the way around the Earth, and made it of super-conducting material. However that has the same obvious problem of being impractical.

  • @TheBalefire Thx...this was never the final design. I put the vid up so others can come up with better designs like yours.

  • the idea behind this is technically sound BUT the practicality of it isn't for it to work you need one of the parts to stay stationary which isn't possible without being fixed to something else, but to do this you would essentially be introducing an object that is within the Earth's Gravitational Field without proper momentum to maintain orbit. This would essentially act like driving a rather large nail into the Earth's pole wiping out humanity, otherwise good job.

  • @666DarkOverlord thx... i think.

  • wouldn't work because you would have to have an object large enough to hold the magnet in place while the earth spun lol and that would be too large of a scale, but good idea that definitely would be free energy

  • wouldn't work because you would have to have an object large enough to hold the magnet in place while the earth spun lol and that would be too large of a scale

  • You can't obtain flux variation from a single earth's pole , however , you didnt discover nothing , this is bullshit , a dream that will never work

  • @TheKaos90 this may not work..but the earth spins with a lot of energy... somebody out there may find a way to use it... i looked through the internet but it nobody as far as i can see came up with the idea. I got the idea from the Dyson Sphere

  • @kamalmichael A better idea would be to harvest the energy from the moon's magnetic field , because it spins around the earth with a high speed , and it has a high mass

  • @TheKaos90 agreed.

  • @TheKaos90 the moon doesn't have its own magnetic field, as it lacks a spinning iron core like the Earth's.

  • Uh oh, looks like the north or south pole would be in Arizona :o

    Something that big just might throw the planet of it's axis.

    That could be the biggest Darwin Award.

  • Please I need your help for a better world see:

    art-of-design.co.uk/mon-invent­ion.php

    Best regards.

  • What if the poles shift position!

  • @zarkomx makes no difference... were just tapping into the way the earth is spinnning.

  • try using a hyper cam from download.com, also its not going to work like you think because the earths spin in relation to the devises weight is not enough to overome the friction regardless, and i would like to see the trucks bringing in the metal to make the 4 mile high generator

  • There are so many reasons this wont work

  • @TheFud1 give us a few reasons then

  • @kamalmichael what would hold the thing still? nothing in the universe is at rest, even you, sitting at your computer, are moving thousands of miles per hour. not just around the sun, but in the spiral of the galaxy too, and in the accelerating universe that we live, you are accelerating as well, what is holding that still? it will end up spinning with the earth through the force required to produce electricity. and unless a reverse acceleration is applied, ie rockets, it will not produce.

  • @fragiggle only the inner ring of the bearing is held still because of the heavy coil pack. It is possible to hold things still against the spin of the earth... for example thats the way they found the earth spins by suspending a pendulum with a marker...it made a star shape indicating spin rather than a straight line which would indicate no spin... the point being ,the pendulum did not swing with the earth... rather the earth spun below it to mark a star shape

  • @kamalmichael You are confused, the pendulum's angular momentum (swing) keeps it in a straight line, while the earth rotates beneath it. NO useful energy could be derived from it, or this experiment would have been something completely different. Even if you could hold the ring in one place in relation to the earth's spin, you'd still get not useful energy out of it. It simply would turn too slow.

  • @UnderManiac you know, this is never the final design. I put this vid up to make people think and maybe make a design to tap into the spin. You are wrong in that there is lot of energy from the earths spin. The whole occean

    and acts like a brake... but somehow i dont see the earth slowing down much.... it there and it can be tapped into

  • @fragiggle You are correct, the device (earth rotation thing) will not work. 

  • Did you design this? Now someone just needs to make a machine that multiplies kinetic energy. This could feed energy to the whole world. And it might even be used to create a magnetic field to protect people from the Sun's harmful rays. Just use some hot, magnatized iron and a heat source, probably geothermal, or Salt Water.

  • @Amaroqdricaldari Yes.. i came up with this idea.. it has it roots

    from an experiments to find out if the earth spun using a pendulum marker on a

    bearing. The marker drew star shapes instead of a straight line which suggested the earth spun below the pendulum. I simply replaced the pendulum . I agree earth spin is a great source of "free" Kinetic energy. But it would take a lot of funds to see it through. I put the vid up in the hope one day it will happen.

  • @kamalmichael And your design is pretty big. Is there a way to make it a bit smaller?

  • @Amaroqdricaldari I really dont know. But will a small version produce anything ? I just dont know. Maybe someone out there will do some calculations.

  • @kamalmichael How about make the damn thing yourself and prove us wrong. No need for calculations, make it, prove it. The onus is on you to prove your theory, not on us to disprove it.

  • @UnderManiac wish i had the money to even try.. Nobody is asking to prove any thing. Im simply putting the idea the earth does spin and one way or another , maybe, just maybe we can tap into it

  • @Amaroqdricaldari it needs to be big ... however ithink it can be concealed underground

  • @kamalmichael BAD idea. due to magnetic resistance... you would stop the earth :P

  • @DrakuzDarkSith ...its a bit like say a drop of water into the ocean is gonna flood the whole world

  • @DrakuzDarkSith it wont but will slow it down slightly.

  • @kamalmichael Attempting to draw any energy from the system, assuming it could work (which it won't), would cause the thing to slow down, it's creating drag via the magnetic field.

  • @UnderManiac Hey this design is no where near perfect and i dont claim it is. Maybe someone would do some calculations and come up with better designs... i dont claim im that someone

  • @UnderManiac don't worry about the Earth slowing down, it weighs 6*10^24 kilograms, so before we lengthened the time of a day by one hour, we would have powered every home on the planet for about, oh, I'd say around a hundred billion years. By then, the Sun would have already burned out, so no worries there. Read my other post before you flame me.

  • There are tons of programs to record your desktop... Why everyone is using low qualty webcams?

  • @Kamyck19 sorry ... we are learning.. i think this was my 2nd vid...but u r right.

    Am using better software and anything i put will be HD ect..

  • @kamalmichael im not certain, but if you record in say.. mp4 format (youll have to research this.) i think it can decrease the compression size while maintaining a good quality image (ofcourse pending your software/hardware of recording rig.)

  • I invented a breakthrough source of energy which violates the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation. Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200 in mass production, value of energy produced yearly $5400.

    I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and $3M for patents.

  • @henrykay01 Post a video on your webpage, of this new energy. Otherwise your simply some asshole with a knowledge of thermo and economics

  • I don't what you're thinking, ask yourself this what material are you going to use to make that Europe size spin generator? That thing looks like it's reach outside of the Earth atmosphere and Earth magnetic field that protect us from the Sun. Wouldn't it interfere Earth magnetic field? How are you going to transfer the energy, big cable that can damage the Earth land? Always ask alot questions before thinking big. One mistake can be a huge mistake.

  • Conservation of energy: this will make the earth stop spinning. I admire your ambition.

  • @BHT195 not really . A fly hitting a train will stop the train in the local area but to a very tiny extend. .Its all about scale. The earth will slow a tiny tiny amount giving up the spin energy but earth spin is a lot stronger than you think.... similar to a train being a lot stronger than the fly

  • @kamalmichael Yes, it will. It may seem a tiny amount, but it is a measurabley quantity of a finite whole. A train is a bad metaphor as they can power themselves, but if it were free wheeling it would stop if it hit enough flies. Momentum is not infinite.

  • @BHT195 and where do we get that momentum? space is hardly a place where anyt hings stand still . I cannot see earth standing still somehow.

  • @kamalmichael We got that momentum from the energy of superheated gases collapsing to form a hot ball of molten rock which will then become Earth. Also, whatever celestial body that may have struck earth, creating the moon from debris of the impact, may also have contributed to our spin. Earth is still spinning now because, as space is a vacuum, there is no real outside interference with our momentum, so it remains fairly constant. Decreasing slightly over time though.

  • @BHT195 I understood that the collision with the earth that resulted in the moon made the earth wobble ,giving us the summer /winter seasons. I think the spin is due to gravity and warping of space / time. I believe that the whole universe is a perpertual motion machine. No matter what you do to it , it will always be on the move. This may be also true for the small. I understand a photon has no mass and anything without mass must travel at the speed of light.

  • @kamalmichael Why do you believe it's a perpetual motion machine? It's a law in physics that in any closed system, such as the universe, as time increases so does entropy. The universe will eventualy be a still mass of perfectly distributed energy and particles. It may be an incedibley long timespan, but the universe is not infinite, at least in terms of distribution of energy.

  • @BHT195 short sighted. You have stars forming ,collapsing and forming black holes...this in turn forms universe. Our own universe formed at the other end of a black hole from another universe. Perpetual motion.

  • @kamalmichael Not shortsighted, empirically correct. Can you provide any evidence for anything you've just said?

  • @BHT195 yes the latest research ... i believe they call it a white hole....the big bang is thought to be a white hole.... ie the other end of a black hole from another universe...but maybe the point is nothing in the universe is truly stationary...from the small to the large. You could just as well nano spin generator or a galaxy spin generator

  • Since the outer ring is connected to the earth i guess that would be the rotor, and the middle part would be the stator. My questions, how do you keep the stator from spinning? No matter what you do it will be connected to the Earth in some manner.

  • @Spartan21B the weight of the heavy coil pack attached to the inner ring will keep it near stationary... even if there is any movement , it wont spin with the speed of earth's rotation and the huge magnet in the middle will spin at earth rotation speed, producing electricity in the heavy coil packs.

  • @kamalmichael Why should the coils be stationary, they'll move with the rotor. Ok stop them from spinning in space from orbit. Still the electric resistance from circuit work will hinder the stator from stationary position. Either rotor stops moving (the Earth) or the stator ("Earth size" coils of yours). Have you made any engineerical calculations, I mean scientific, refering to electrodynamics, classical mechanics. Or have your professors sanctioned this idea? Or do you even study real physics

  • whtas the name of the song?

  • @jmsa007 "Every Word" by Ercola feat. Daniella

  • If the concepts have been look at by many as a possabilty this is good. And the more people that take the time to understand the conncept means the more likely one day some one maybe you or someone you encouraged from your work will push it to new levels of possabilty.

    Power to the people and not and not at a high price to nature.

    Great work.

    Adam VA of AVA Magnetic Levitation AUS

  • Graet idea but not new these kind of ideas have been pondered by many for a long time indeed

  • thanks

  • This device will not stopp or l\slow down the earth.

    Everything we build has and always will be on the earth. So the weight wont have much effect. Except unbalancing it. But thats another issue.

  • could be right. i like the idea that everything is on the earth so shouldnt have an effect

  • i got dizzy then fell asleep at the same time! the earth doest revolve fast enough maybe if it really was spinning as fast as yours was in your imagination

  • got news 4 u. Earth does spin fast

  • @kamalmichael Actually you are both right, and wrong.... The speed at which the earth spins varies upon your latitudinal location on the planet. If you're standing at the north pole, the speed is almost zero [making this patent nonsense] but at the equator, where the circumference of the earth is greatest, the speed is about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph). The mid-latitudes of the U.S. and Europe speed along at 700 to 900 mph (1125 to 1450 kph).

  • yeah, but wouldnt the generator rotate with the earth? eliminating the point?

  • the outer ring of the bearing would but not the inner ring cos of the suspended HEAVY coil pack .

  • Kinda stupid.

    Earth would stop spinning if you theoretically attached this device to earth. Think bicycle wheel + dynamo. Disregard the friction with the air and the wheel axis. The dynamo would slowly stop the wheel.

  • not really. A fly could hit a moving train and slow it down a little but only a little.

  • the less the dynamo slows the earth, the less energy it produces. It's the basic laws of energy conservation.

  • it may come across a little resitance like the fly hitting the train but its hardly gonna stop anything or slow it down significantly. The oceans and air would give more resistance but it doesnt mean the earth is coming to a stop.

  • man is the best machine , we use air in our lungs a heart, and all the other wonderful things. we even fuel our selves when things are low

  • @basilenglish if only we could develop an efficent renewable energy source based off the mechanics of our own human bodies.

  • thanks a lot. I feel like a raging bull coming up with stuff but few ways to test it or develop it. Talk 2 u later about a few ideas.

  • at the poles you would get the worst possible energy source of the earths spin. you'd have to go to the equator to get the full power

  • @outlawedge23 agreed

  • :))

  • I thought I'd have a quick look at this again and had a thought. . . .With a few trillion balloons full of helium attached to the core, a gravitational differential, (of a few N's), could be achieved. The scale would render it impractical to build though !!! . . .

  • bearings arent frictionless...this middle is going to start to spin eventually. not to mention, this thing would have to be absolutely massive to generate power using only the earths rotation.

  • a very sensible comment

    yes- the generator would have to be massive to be relevant

    yes- there would be some spin of the inner ring but the heavy coil pack to may minimise this and something other than bearings could be used which offer less friction

  • but energy cuts in half every 2 thousand miles so we wouldnt even get that much energy.

  • that is ganna cost wayy to much money. the john kanzius machine is the way to go.

  • not when u consider hou much u get back

  • I remember someone tried to do this with a gyroscope and precession. In that case it didn't need to be at the poles. The question is can you really get enough power to offset the running of the gyroscope. If you put it in a vacuum and used magnetic bearings or something, who knows. On the other hand if you did ever get it to work and many people stated using it, you would be slowing down the earth's rotation so over a long period of time the days would get longer.

  • no powered gyro required 4 this idea. however it will slow the earth down but i suspect very small amount similar to a fly hitting a train, slows the train down.

  • I'm still a bit confused on how you keep the inside from spinning. I mean there is going to be drag on it just because of friction and also because it's a generator. The only way I can see to is to use some sort of gyroscope, but maybe I'm missing something.

  • the heavy weight of the coil pack of the inner ring of the bearing stops it spinning with the earth- this can only happen at the north or south pole

  • I don't think that would work. A generator can require a lot of torque. If you have a hand crank generator and you suddenly start drawing amps off of it you can feel the resistance kick in. I don't think it would take long before it would be spinning close to the same speed as the earth. However you could probably gyro-stabilize it.
