Message Subject You know how the earths magnetic field that makes a compass turn? Why are we not tapping that for electricity?
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
because the magnetic field is so tiny, it doesn't make enough useful electricity

if it could, any conductor moving through the magnetic field could produce lethal amounts of electricity. like hold a metal bar, go for a walk with it, ZAP YOU"RE DEAD!!!

I know the field is tiny, but is there not a way to use transformers to amp it then alternate it like common AC but wireless?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24103158


what energy were you thinking of to 'amp it with'? you're suggesting to put energy into something to get energy out.
