Scientists Build Device to Generate Electricity Using the Earth's Rotation
Buy-n-Shoot NewsIn an experiment, a team of physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy to generate electricity. It's a deceivingly simple idea that researchers are only starting to grapple with over the last decade. But whether the concept will ever turn into a feasible source of renewable energy remains to be seen. As detailed in their paper published in the journal Physical Review Research, the team aligned a special device made up of a weak manganese-zinc ferrite conductor and electrodes at each end, at a 57 angle, making it perpendicular to our planet's rotational motion and its magnetic field. They […]
