Re:... a bit premature? Free Energy? (Score 1)

If it does get here in a reasonable amount of time, can it be used to pull high-currents of energy out of the earth's magnetic field by running a wire up and spinning it end-for-end through our field? Think of it as a generator with Earth's magnetic field in space as the magnets.

There was once a cable-link between the space shuttle and a satellite. They were rotating about eachother and the middle of the cable melted due to the inducted electrical energy across the length of the steel cable (get out your intergrals and ti92 to figure out the actual field energy).

Anyone else with thoughts here? -geek
