A better scheme to extract energy from the Coriolis force is the spinning earth creates is to erect a windmill or your sailboat in the trade winds which are caused by this effect.

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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
