A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it passed through Earth’s magnetic field.

Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is convinced ...

Wow, maybe we really should reverse Earth's rotation! But hold on. If the Trade Winds reverse direction, it means that other wind patterns change too. Including the Prevailing Westerlies that ...

The idea dates back hundreds of years, when scientists first began to suggest that the difference in velocity – the speed of something in a given direction ... angle to Earth's rotation ...

In a random universe, the number of galaxies that rotate in one direction should be roughly ... from galaxies rotating the ...

the researchers found — which is in the same ballpark as the amount the Moon's pull slows the Earth's rotation over the same period. Subscribe to our daily newsletter to keep in touch with the ...

Now Chyba and co have shown that such a conductor can extract electrical energy directly from Earth's rotation through its own magnetic ... but with the current and voltage in the opposite direction.

They then oriented the cylinder in a north-south direction set at a 57° angle ... suggesting that it was due to the energy from the Earth's rotation. The researchers note that they accounted ...

A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic field, and a surprisingly simple device. If replicated, that could be ...
