One more thing, when you start swinging a wire around in a magnetic
field--you begin to generate a current and voltage/power... although the
Earth's magnetic field will be moving with the wire, and so produce little
or no effect (there are "wobbles" in this planets magnetic field of course)
there surely must be some kind of magnetic field from the sun and/or other
planets which reach Earth--"free energy?"

The circumference of the Earth is 25,000+ miles and it does one revolution
in 24 hrs--unless I am mistaken that wire will be "whirling" at greater than
1,000 mph--if nothing else, a wire spinning at that speed sounds impressive,
especially when you figure in it will be a superior conductor!!!



I seem to remember one of the shuttle missions letting out a very long
tether--it, somewhat, "mysteriously" burnt or severed--and, if I remember
correctly, they noted a large current in the tether they did not expect....
perhaps someone else remembers this incident more clearly?
