Is This It?

Other on team #71, Team Hammond, from Team Hammond. In Reply to: Re: The correct answer is... Posted by John Paul on 1/11/2001 2:12 PM EST: Follows is an excerpt from a news release. "As The World Turns, Free Energy?" "Imagine the earth as a perpetual-motion machine-a giant flywheel that rotates tirelessly. Now, picture being able to tap into that enormous energy. That's what a handful of engineers have done. They have produced a machine that is basically a gyroscope connected to a generator. As the earth turns, the gyroscope's spinning rotor resists changing direction. The resulting torque is converted by gears into the spinning shaft of a generator." Later --"It is theoretically possible to generate all the electrical power needed in the world with this method. And if you did so, it would only slow the Earth's rotation by one second over 10,000 years." |
