Hola Folks!Found this quite fascinating, especially its relationship to Otis Carrs' flying machine and his 'Utron' power source.
He says by tapping the gyro motion of the earth, it would slow the earths rotation over 100,000 years by 30% to stretch it out to a 34 hour day...surely we'd find many other sources of power long before that happens.

There is much magic in this if you study it. - JWD) for correlations to what follow, see;
http://www.keelynet.com/gravity/carr3.htmTheoretically there is an enormous quantity of pure unpolluting energy available from the energy contained in the rotational inertia of the earth--enough to supply all the energy and power requirements of the world's civilization, currently being met by oil production, for the next 100,000,000 years with only minimal and readily acceptable reduction in the daily rotation rate of the earth at the end of that period: approximately 30%, a 34 hour day--at the present rate of oil energy consumption.
This supply of pure physical mechanical energy may theoretically be tapped by interposing the spatial angular stability of a gyro rotor/gimbal assembly, plus a transducer to convert the gyro/earth mechanical energy and power into the desired type for ready utilization, e.g., electrical, hydraulic, or other, between the onrushing inertial rotational energy of the earth and the referenced spatial stability--more accurately, rigidity (as in "brick wall" or Hoover Dam)--of a gyro rotor and gimbal assembly.
In this invention, energy and power are derived from the inertial (stored) energy of the angular rotational mass velocity of the earth, the axis of which is coincident with the induced precessional reaction torque supplied by the gyro rotor precession. The motion of the earth is with respect to the unmoving angular space.
This invention to produce continuous, but intermittent, power output without fuel or daily attention over long periods of time--theoretically, eons.
Even the intermittency may be corrected, as in steam and IC engines, by combining three or more unitary assemblies having sequentially phased and overlapping power output strokes, or with electrical or inertial energy storage during power strokes along with energy and power conversion and withdrawal during re-precession periods.
Sufficient exploratory experimentation has been conducted to provide confidence that the "Advanced Concept" will work "as advertised."
For example, it has been "manually" demonstrated on an experimental set-up using a free gyro with a six-inch diameter rotor that with the application of manual torque around two orthogonal axes, e.g., "polar" and "equatorial" that, with all the torque that could manually be applied to the two applied torque axes in opposition, the precession around the third axis could be held motionless indefinitely.
It is entirely reasonable that the "manual" polar axis torque could be replaced with earth rotational deceleration torque applied via a power transducer input shaft as in the "normal" (free gyro) mode and the "manual" equatorial axis torque could be replaced with a spring, a torque motor, or a spring and trimming torque motor combination.
Thus, continuous, non-interrupted, non-intermitent power output could be achieved by operating this invention in a "rate gyro mode" instead of a "free gyro mode."
