You have an interesting concept Hoyt. Most of us are quite skeptical of a machine that generates work from out of thin air, but if the Earth's rotation slows down by the action of this device, perhaps so.
You need to estimate the amount of energy that could be extracted in your proposed method before assuming that you have the problem solved. I like your idea of raising a mass upwards in the y direction and then dropping it. It should be possible to calculate the amount of energy added in the x direction due to rotation of the Earth. My gut feeling is that the extra energy is very tiny. Dave -----Original Message----- From: Hoyt A.

One could extract energy from the earth by raising a weight vertically, then letting it fall whilst letting it's east-west tendency generate force X distance. For example if the surface of the earth is moving at 1000 km/hour and you raise a weight such that the speed is now 1001 km/hour, as you let it fall you could extract 1 km/hour of kinetic energy from it. I think that'd be a pretty small effect, hence the huge machine to get anything useful. It would be interesting to see if it's orientation was north-south along its rotational axis.

We tested spirals, pulsed, shielded . . . every configuration we could imagine and found them conservative. But, I'm still open if someone has a new idea.
