The gyroscopic generator in "Gyrocharger" (link) works
because "the device applies gyroscopic precessional torque
to directly convert the periodic kinetic energy of surface
waves (or human gait) into continuous torque that drives a
rotary electric generator."
Wouldn't the earth work this way
too?
In the (linked) Gyrogen, there is a definite line inbetween
the two parts of the gyroscope that change in relation to
eachother inside of a magnetic field to generate electricity.
In the earth there is no definite line between two parts --
to make a gyroscope in the classical sense -- but the earth is
flexable and liquid at its
core, and it has its own magnetic field and exists in the
suns magnetic field, so wouldnt the whole earth act like a
gyroscopic generator? If so then where does all the
generated
energy go? Does it leak off into space? Do I have to come up
with an invention to put a question like this out there? How
about an earth-sized set of holiday lights?
