Prototype World Engine I - A simple disk
With a disk located at the equator and spinning on an axis that is always longitudinal,
the rotational axis of the disk will appear to flip 360 every 24 hours on a 2nd axis
which is always latitudinal. The first axis is not actually flipping though, it's just not
rotating with the Earth. The difference of motion creates a potential source of power.
This has to be one of the craziest ideas I've heard here, at least try to a normal gyroscope as the Russian tried twenty years ago but still failed.
There is a far easier to harvest energy that is generated somewhat by the same rotation with a little help from the moon, that is tidal waves, it would be far easier to create artificial estuaries for this rather than putting disks around the earth.
If built right, these gyros will last for millions of years and have zero impact on the environment.
Yeah because they will be made be of unrealizablium probably.
