As I found out some years ago when I spent a couple of months on this,
whatever system you come up with, when you actually go through the maths
it comes up with the same answer, and that is that you cannot extract
energy from the rotation of the earth without reference to some external
body. You can come up with complicated systems that makes the maths
more difficult (our gyroscopes on railway tracks travelling between the
pole and the equator was particularly 'interesting' to analyse. I'm not
sure that 15 years later my brain is still up to it, that why I get my
son to do it), and that is what may have happened with the RAR
machine. Its complexity hides a mistake in the analysis of the forces
and moments which made it appear that it was possible to extract energy
from the earths magnetic field.

You make an excellent point Nigel. Even an artillery shell that has
its apparent path diverted by the coriolis effect is not given extra
energy from the earth, but instead travels in a free path. The earth
rotates out from beneath the original aim point. A similar process
must be happening to the air flowing due to wind.
