Rotational energy is quite impressive in my opinion, something that moves in such a way to “stay in place” but modifies the actual location of certain elements on it.
My dumb brain right now: Just build a 100km tall stick that stays stationary relative to earth’s position in space and put a cylinder at the tip of that stick and extract energy from earth
It used to be called the aether. Theres a measurable equipotential gradient of static electricity increasing the higher 1 goes. I believe you are part way correct
That’s because it’s ALL CGI and cartoon capers for the mentally stunted, who went from Santa to space without changing your poison of blind faith, trust and belief. It’s quite tragic that folk are so easily influenced by their screen! The imagination is the only thing that is going into space!! You believe with NO experience. Very misguided!
@@simyosimyodo you think it’s suppose to spin the other way??? Would that satisfy your controlled brain? Cause that’s the only way you have imagined the spin!
The reason the Soviet project didn’t work is because the gyroscope simply wasn’t big enough. Modern technology would allow a sufficiently large one to be constructed. (I just want a giant gyroscope built, it doesn’t have to extract the Earth’s rotational energy).
Making the day shorter by one second requires energy to be put into the Earth's rotation, because a shorter day corresponds to a greater rotation rate. If you make the day longer by one second, then you get energy out. This is what is causing the moon to receed.
Almost right, but thinking only in terms of energy can be misleading. Actually it is simpler and much easier to consider just the transfer of momentum. No squared terms. That matters.
@@YodaWhat It's both, actually. A higher Moon is at a greater gravitational potential energy even at a lower kinetic energy, so energy has to go in. The larger distance gives you a greater lever arm, so even at a slower speed, there's more angular momentum, so that has to go in too. Both come from the rotation of the Earth. Both have to be conserved, so if the Moon gets both, the Earth loses both.
@@wyrmofvt - Sure, but since energy can be transformed into heat and otherwise lost from sight, the thing to keep your eyes on is the Momentum. Our ocean tides, for example, dissipate energy being exchanged in the Earth-Moon system. How much energy? It is not easy to say. It certainly warms the oceans, but not enough to measure, especially since there are other factors at play, both for warming and for cooling the oceans.
If you were able to extract the Earth's rotational energy, it wouldn't make the day shorter. It would make it longer. Also, precession doesn't occur with two counter-rotating gyros. Finally, whatever energy you put into the gyroscope's rotational velocity will always be more than you can extract.
It also seems to me that eliminating one rotational degree of freedom would prevent the gyroscope to align with Earth's spin axis. So it should be built more like those exercise gyro-ball thingies, which have only two axes of rotation (and track rollers for good measure).
Yeah, this is definitely trying to get a free lunch. Any mechanism that could extract energy from the gyroscope would eventually prevent it from remaining stationary unless an equal amount of energy held it stationary, even if it was one of the magical frictionless ones that only exist in physics classes. Unless that energy somehow comes from a source outside the Earth there can be no net gain in energy. Maybe if we make it tall enough we can put a giant solar sail on it.
Assuming a frictionless gyroscope the energy needed to spin it up would be a fixed cost while it would generate energy at a constant rate. It's just a matter of time for it to break even. In reality the problem is generating more energy than is lost due to friction and to pay for maintenance and repay initial investments.
@@kolyashinkarev7366 The tide is still caused by the moon's gravity, not the earth rotation. Remove rotation, and the level of water will be constantly elevated by gravity on the side of earth that's facing the moon. Remove moon, and there will be no tides.
I tried to imagine similar rotation-extraction ideas for several years. Nothing will work except tidal power, because it connects to the moon. You can't get energy out unless you have something different to put the energy in. Adding that it is perhaps possible to extract energy from the momentum transfer of moving an object toward or away from the axis of rotation. If you could transport a chunk of Antarctic ice from the South Pole to the Equator, smoothly and mysteriously, and released it, you would find that chunk shooting westward at a thousand MPH. You might be able to harness that. But once you have a cylindrical-shell earth, you are out of power.
A better idea would be a giant compass with some sort of gear track that prevented it from ever reaching its desired lineal position of true north as its axis continuously circles around the magnetic north pole. It's absolutely possible but only on a very very large scale.
But is Earth's magnetic field strong enough to matter here? I think technically you'd be able to extract some energy from rotation in this way, but it would be a very small amount. It's kind of like extracting energy from a flywheel by letting the wind blown off its surface turn a windmill.
Is this even possible considering the Relativity Theory? This would be comparable to trying to extract the movement energy of a car from the inside of the passenger cabin
I mean, you can do this though right? You just need to wire a generator up to the crankshaft. Applying resistance to the crankshaft and providing you electrical energy. This only works of course because the speed of the car is tied to the speed of the wheels which is tied to the speed of the engine. The earth doesn't have a convenient engine that we can hook into
That being said, even if you couldn't do that, you could still extract energy from the car by holding a turbine out the window. But of course this one only works because of a delta in air speed between the cabin and the ground. Because the atmosphere spins with the earth, we can't do this either
@@xunoe that'd be like trying to anchor the earth to space itself and thus try extracting energy from the resulting braking force. if you did figure out a way to do that, then you'd essentially figure out the problem that black hole civilizations use to turn black holes into their near infinite energy battery.

Possibly building the ring from space so that when it gets set into place that it starts at “zero rotational speed” or even “negative rotational speed” and uses the connection track to generate energy from the immense difference in speeds? Or… something of that rough nature anyway. 3. Alternatively, if we figure out how to make use of core metals, and/or get asteroid mining underway, then we could potentially set up metal (tipped?)rods that extend up through atmosphere, and pass orbital electro-resistance generators, with each pass by each location charging the energy banks…

The surface of the Earth is at equilibrium between "falling up" and "falling down", from the forces of electrostatic repulsion between the molecules of 1 trillion cubic kilometers of molten rock and metal, the "force" of gravity trying to squish all that molten rock and metal down into the smallest volume of space possible, and centripetal forces from the Earth's daily rotation (currently 23 hours and 56 minutes, but four billion years ago the day was about 16 modern hours.) The rotation makes the circumference around the equator about 67km (41 miles) longer than the circumference through the poles. This equilibrium was reached over four billion years ago, and the surface rocks have cooled down enough to solidify. Basically... if anything gets too tall it will eventually fall down, and this all averages out globally to be an oblate sphereoid on average.
Why are there so many flat earthers here. It’s weird. Also how do they justify which direction is down. I mean if the earth was flat then gravity couldn’t exist so for them it’s not the direction opposite of gravity. Is it by head tilt, does it change every time they nod their heads?

If we could build a massive ring around the equator of the planet, we could line the outside of the ring with solar panels. That would solve the energy problems of the world and not be susceptible to not producing at night since half of the ring would always be on the sunny side. Plus it would create a ton of new real estate.
Let me ask a really dumb question. If we harness the rotational energy of earth, is there even a slight chance that we can alter the course of its rotation? Is it possible to tilt and orient the earth to our liking?
I've worked on this idea for decades. The problems I ran into were gear ratios(major loss in torque through the gearbox) and the enormous gyroscopic forces required to turn said gearbox. It's a bit too much for modern materials and manufacturing.

Next step, 62 mile shaft from each pole connected to wings of alternating black/white surface at the Karman line...you may have seen it in your science class...and due to resistance, you could power the labs at the poles.
Generators work with a fixed point and a moving point. Normally the fixed point relies on the earth as it's connected to it one way or another. If you try to make the earth the moving point there's no fixed point with enough inertia to resist joining it. Impossible without some sort of outside anchor point similarly massive.
I didnt realize just how much energy 1 second of earth's rotational energy was. But this is why, stopping the rotation of earth entirely would pretty much eliminate 100% of complex life from the top of the stratosphere to the bottom of the ocean. 1 second of rotational energy powering mankind for a millenia versus 24 total hours of rotational energy.
On the other hand, both passat wind and ocean currents are extractable forms of energy deriving from the Earth's rotation, and tide is an extractable form of energy deriving from the Moon's velocity

placing powerbanks in the orbit of earth around the sun can get us energy.. like we can place hundreds of powerbanks, which will keep on charging until earth reacher near them and then we can collect energy from them as there will be alot of energy stored in them.. then when a powerbank is emptied it will have a whole year to recharge it.. after a year we can extract energy from that again.. hope someone can understand and try my ideas..
There's another way of extracting energy from the Earth's rotation, though. Build a very tall structure, and wrap in copper wire. Then as the Earth spins, the tower moves through its magnetic field and generates electricity. However, I think this would barely produce enough power for a neighbourhood, and such a tall structure for such little gain isn't worth it, even with the energy being free.
Don't "free energy" things work by amplifying the resonnant frequency of one molecule thru a material that absorbed it and uses that vibration which is its ffrequency to vibrate a metal or crystal that makes a sound which in theory is able to push something that then works like a motor to generate the electricy via friction. Essentially because you can't just make energy. You can convert it. You just need to combine two different forms of energy together with no friction. The pyramids and a ton of ancient sculpture we know were built to amplify sound waves anyway. They IMO were the experiments used to prove the concept of what we call "free energy generators"
i had this idea when i was in 9th standard.. but due to 10th or Metric class was board class, i dropped on many ideas like this one.. another one was by putting giant electromagnets in orbit.. but soon i realised that those will start to rotate with earth as there will be no resisting mount or force.. also i had an idea of placing solar panels in the orbit to gain as much as solar energy possible..
They were putting an excessive load on it. They also did not use any type of gearing > as with watches! They are the best example of minimal to maximum load. Still yet the only thing perpetual is the universe expanding? That I’m aware of anyway.
There has to be some way to do it though. Maybe if we shoot a laser tangential to the equator the rotation of the earth will increase the frequency and it can be absorbed by a photovoltaic cell? but you would have to have a nearly perfect laser to electrical conversion, which is only about 25% efficient with our best PV cells. Maybe if we do build an orbital solar array, beaming power down to earth retrograde to it's rotation could give us an efficiency boost.
Build it in space on a tether attached to the spacestatian. Then use the idea they have for capturing solar energy from space and transmitting it to earth from the generator attached to the gyroscope
Yes, however, When the crust spins at a different speed than the molten iron core it GENERATES an infinite amount of electromagnetic energy, enough to protect earths atmosphere from the sun & power everything we want on earth, it's just developing a superconducter robust enough to stay integral at the high temperatures deep underground. Surely it should be an avenue demanding funding & the attention of academics & scientists. Tesla I think was on to this too.
If it's big enough and you store the energy on the inner part though batteries that are flown out with drones then the energy will be (negligibly) extractable

This equilibrium was reached over four billion years ago, and the surface rocks have cooled down enough to solidify.
Basically... if anything gets too tall it will eventually fall down, and this all averages out globally to be an oblate sphereoid on average.
Looking for the flat earthers comments for a giggle 🤭
I really love your videos it's just fantastic
The fun fact is that a spinning gyroscope is the only thing that is stable in the whole Universe reference =)
Why are there so many flat earthers here. It’s weird. Also how do they justify which direction is down. I mean if the earth was flat then gravity couldn’t exist so for them it’s not the direction opposite of gravity. Is it by head tilt, does it change every time they nod their heads?
"Seems like a good idea until you actually try it": So, so many things.
Tidal energy.
If I were the Sun, this Earth ir rotating clockwise.

The Forth Doctor mentioned this
in a 70's episode of Doctor Who.
Imagine the energy recovered from
Jupiter or a black hole? That's a little bit of electricity.
The Earth is flat geniuses!
Uranus is flat
Now, why didn't I think of that, "the earth id obviously flat. Ha! Ha ha ha."
I spent 15 years as a Radio Operator in the Army, and we had to calculate for the curvature of the Earth when sending HF (High Frequency) and Satellite communications. Are you saying that I, and every other Radio Operator on Earth, lie about the math we do?
Also, are you suggesting that ALL 74 space agencies are in lyjmg aboit the shape of the Earth? Even space agencies that belong to countries that HATE each other, they can put their differences aside just for this one apprarent lie?!?

@@GRAHFMETALyes
If we could build a massive ring around the equator of the planet, we could line the outside of the ring with solar panels. That would solve the energy problems of the world and not be susceptible to not producing at night since half of the ring would always be on the sunny side. Plus it would create a ton of new real estate.
PUT A GIANT ALTERNATOR ON THE SOUTH POLE
Physics doesn't allow us to easily get energy
A sphere in a sphere creates energy
A lot of things seem like a good idea until you try it. That doesn’t mean that you give up after the first attempt.
You got that Earth rotating in the wrong direction. The sun rises in the east, not the west.
Gyroscopes in low gravity always blew my mind.
You have everything needed to explain how a gyrocompass works.
Remember that time the soviets built a gyroscope around the earth but it didn’t even work?
Even though it didn't work the idea is simply genius.
We could just spin the earth backwards, you know, like in the video.
Who is this guy?
Let me ask a really dumb question. If we harness the rotational energy of earth, is there even a slight chance that we can alter the course of its rotation? Is it possible to tilt and orient the earth to our liking?
You have a way of explaining things that I enjoy.
At the beginning, the Earth is spinning the wrong way. The Earth spins to the East.
I've worked on this idea for decades. The problems I ran into were gear ratios(major loss in torque through the gearbox) and the enormous gyroscopic forces required to turn said gearbox. It's a bit too much for modern materials and manufacturing.
I could not understand single word...but it's interesting.. May be I read science way too long back..10 years back.. And not really applying in day-to-day work.
What is the name of power plant or experiment in USSR you did mention? Can't find any info about this project.
Literally no info, i really want to know more about the project, where did you find it?? BRO I'M INTERESTED.

@@dimagridxxx Yee. It's the only thing I found that he could possibly be referencing to that. Outside of that, there doesn't seem to be anything else he could have possibly be referencing.....At least to my knowledge.
Next step, 62 mile shaft from each pole connected to wings of alternating black/white surface at the Karman line...you may have seen it in your science class...and due to resistance, you could power the labs at the poles.
Relativity is a hell of a thing
Another day of a dream of infinite power glitch being crushed by one of the stupid rules of science
You have the Earth spining in the wrong direction.
Generators work with a fixed point and a moving point. Normally the fixed point relies on the earth as it's connected to it one way or another. If you try to make the earth the moving point there's no fixed point with enough inertia to resist joining it. Impossible without some sort of outside anchor point similarly massive.
I love facts such as the opening one, thanks for a new one!
Harvesting energy from the natural rotation of the Earth would be even better than fusion energy... if you could accomplish it.
I have idea for Gyroscopic spacecraft for NASA but don't know how to present it...8yrs now, just the white paper and idea. 😢🥺🥺🥺🥺
"Soviet union already tried this"
I didnt realize just how much energy 1 second of earth's rotational energy was. But this is why, stopping the rotation of earth entirely would pretty much eliminate 100% of complex life from the top of the stratosphere to the bottom of the ocean. 1 second of rotational energy powering mankind for a millenia versus 24 total hours of rotational energy.
Spinning earth definitely has more than a ton of energy 😊
On the other hand, both passat wind and ocean currents are extractable forms of energy deriving from the Earth's rotation, and tide is an extractable form of energy deriving from the Moon's velocity
Take a geer . Make it a magnetic. dip it in mercury. A bunch of them . Chain link these together in a vector of a mobious. 80 millimeters. Keep it cold. How much electo magnetic radiation will be given off ? Electro magnet anti gravity idea that won't implode on itself because of the apex of the mobious.
Please be kind
placing powerbanks in the orbit of earth around the sun can get us energy.. like we can place hundreds of powerbanks, which will keep on charging until earth reacher near them and then we can collect energy from them as there will be alot of energy stored in them.. then when a powerbank is emptied it will have a whole year to recharge it.. after a year we can extract energy from that again.. hope someone can understand and try my ideas..
What about stacking gyroscopes? Make a bigger one that spins along one axis, then insert another that spins along a perpendicular axis.
Sounds like the failed attempts to get electricty from lightning.
There's another way of extracting energy from the Earth's rotation, though.
Build a very tall structure, and wrap in copper wire. Then as the Earth spins, the tower moves through its magnetic field and generates electricity.
However, I think this would barely produce enough power for a neighbourhood, and such a tall structure for such little gain isn't worth it, even with the energy being free.
Don't "free energy" things work by amplifying the resonnant frequency of one molecule thru a material that absorbed it and uses that vibration which is its ffrequency to vibrate a metal or crystal that makes a sound which in theory is able to push something that then works like a motor to generate the electricy via friction.
Essentially because you can't just make energy. You can convert it. You just need to combine two different forms of energy together with no friction.
The pyramids and a ton of ancient sculpture we know were built to amplify sound waves anyway. They IMO were the experiments used to prove the concept of what we call "free energy generators"
i had this idea when i was in 9th standard.. but due to 10th or Metric class was board class, i dropped on many ideas like this one.. another one was by putting giant electromagnets in orbit.. but soon i realised that those will start to rotate with earth as there will be no resisting mount or force.. also i had an idea of placing solar panels in the orbit to gain as much as solar energy possible..
If I understood right it's because the gyroscope only turns when its base moves due to gravity.
Plus it probably kills birds like windmills and solar panels.
I can't get my head around that amount of power its a phenomenally huge amount
Looks like it was made of brass...
Maybe put a series of mini magnets on it to produce perpetual motion?
"it seems like a good idea...until you actually try it" ...that made me bust out laughin
They were putting an excessive load on it. They also did not use any type of gearing > as with watches! They are the best example of minimal to maximum load. Still yet the only thing perpetual is the universe expanding? That I’m aware of anyway.
There has to be some way to do it though. Maybe if we shoot a laser tangential to the equator the rotation of the earth will increase the frequency and it can be absorbed by a photovoltaic cell? but you would have to have a nearly perfect laser to electrical conversion, which is only about 25% efficient with our best PV cells. Maybe if we do build an orbital solar array, beaming power down to earth retrograde to it's rotation could give us an efficiency boost.
Mankind will NEVER let mankind have anything free especially energy.
Build it in space on a tether attached to the spacestatian. Then use the idea they have for capturing solar energy from space and transmitting it to earth from the generator attached to the gyroscope
"JONNY GO GO GO "
It's still a good idea. Just because we can't do it (or something similar) yet, doesn't mean the idea should be knocked.
1 sec of rotational energy = 14,000 yrs of energy for us!!!
That's mind-blowing! 😮
Yes, however,
When the crust spins at a different speed than the molten iron core it GENERATES an infinite amount of electromagnetic energy, enough to protect earths atmosphere from the sun & power everything we want on earth, it's just developing a superconducter robust enough to stay integral at the high temperatures deep underground.
Surely it should be an avenue demanding funding & the attention of academics & scientists.
Tesla I think was on to this too.
This is the concept of "the celestial sphere" introduced by Zoroaster like 12,000 years ago.
The earth also has a magnetic field. Opposing moving magnets through the hearts field should do something.
That's why you have it act against or with the magnetic field of this planet.
Working with that gyroscope would be the most dangerous job in the world.
If it's big enough and you store the energy on the inner part though batteries that are flown out with drones then the energy will be (negligibly) extractable
