Smudge's Musings on Electro-kinetic Potential in the Earth’s A Field

[Dave45]

The telluric currents would be a dc system.

""Simple Experiment

In order to establish that a changing charge really does exhibit force from the Earth's
A field it would seem worthwhile to conduct a simple experiment. This is illustrated
in figure 6. A conductive sphere is suspended from the ceiling using a thin
connecting wire. The sphere is charged to a high potential from an EHT source,

If you take a spherical magnet, and spin it on its' axis
The field stays in place from a perspective some distance from the magnet.
But what happens to a conductor at the surface that is rotating with it?
If the field isn't rotating, then the rotating conductor must be cutting the lines of force


What does that mean to us on the surface of the earth, if we face a pair of
polarized coils in an (magnetic) east/west direction?
And maybe amplify the field with a magnet aligned to the earths field.


When we run the numbers for the kinetic energy between the rotation of the earth
And a theoretical "motionless" object......
The impact velocity is just over 1,000 Mph at the surface from the rotation alone.
That is ignoring our current orbital velocity around the sun
Or the motion of our solar system or galaxy through space.


I don't know if anyone has tried to make a motor using a sphere magnet
wrapped with a coil and rotating them both together with sliding contacts
Would be interesting to know the outcome.


The alternative would have to be that even on the surface
The field appears stationary.
What then happens to an induction coil on the front of an east/westbound model rocket?

If the field was stationary as you suggest,  then if Earths nearly uniform field was passing through a coil it would also be passing out of the coil at the same rate.
Any positive current gain from the field entering the coil would be equal to the negative current generated as it was exiting the coil so the overall gain is zero.
