"...team have been toying with the idea of generating electricity using the Earth's rotation and its magnetic field...That paper was met with criticism...The researchers wondered what would happen if this cancelation was prevented and the voltage was instead captured...They found that 18 microvolts of electricity were generated across the cylinder...strongly suggesting that it was due to the energy from the Earth's rotation."
