Just talking hypothetically, if you created a giant stationary coil of wire floating just above the earth, that circled the entire earth, could you utilize the magnetic field produced by the earth to produce free energy similar to a regular generator?
Also, would it start to gradually slow the earth's rotation due to couteractive forces?
By the same token: If you took a magnet and a coil of wire into space outside of the influence of ANY gravity, could you float the magnet inside the coil of wire, and assuming that you are 100% accurate, give the magnet a spin so that it would spin indefinitely while creating free energy? Or would the magnet gradually slow down due to opposing magnetic forces?
For both "experiments" disregard any other factors such as air resistance or gravity. Just interested in the basic factors involved with the theory....
