Abstract
This paper presents a detailed analysis and full-system design for a novel method of continuous electric power generation by harnessing Earth's rotational kinetic energy through its interaction with the planet’s own non-rotating magnetic field. Challenging a longstanding assumption in electrodynamics that Lorentz-force-induced electromotive forces cancel in Earth-bound reference frames, this work demonstrates that specific conductor topologies, magnetic permeability configurations, and low magnetic Reynolds number conditions enable persistent emf generation. The system is stationary, emission-free, and designed for long-term deployment with minimal environmental footprint. A proof-of-concept prototype yields measurable microvolt-level output, validating the theoretical framework. The design is modular and scalable, with potential applications ranging from remote power systems to planetary-scale infrastructure. This disclosure serves as a foundational step toward rethinking Earth's rotation as a viable, globally available source of sustainable energy.
