A Princeton-led team has built a tabletop device that generates voltage directly from Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field. While the power output is orders of magnitude too small for practical electronics, the breakthrough suggests Earth’s spin could someday provide constant, fuel-free energy if the effect scales up. The team is now calling for independent labs to reproduce the results.
they say its “free energy”, so i would imagine they would start scaling up the production by making more and more facilities. And even though we will fuck up the planet by that point and kill ourselves, if it still turns there is still a chance something new might evolve eventually. But if the planet doesnt even spin, it will likely turn into lifeless rock.
This was my first thought lol. I hope they also have the other direction figured out, i.e. expend energy to speed the rotation up. Otherwise please do not send this to prod, we have enough problems already
