You have to be OUTSIDE that reference frame to even SEE the movement! So, yes, we could harness the earth's kinetic energy if we built a contraption in space that was LARGER THAN THE EARTH ITSELF.
Look, if you want to, Shai, build some sort of wheel that will be turned by the Earth's movement. Put it on the ground (though, it could be suspended anywhere in the Earth's atmosphere). Will the earth move the wheel? I'll let you answer that question after your little experiment. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

P.S. ROFL It wasn't the idea of the massive structure.I was trying to point out that the earth does move and if this were possible you could actually harness LOL "moving earth energy".

Okay, good job. You've pointed out a practically impossible way to harness a lot of energy. You've made a valuable contribution to this thread. Thanks.

For all we know, Albuquerque, New Mexico could be the only completely immobile place in the universe (based on a reference point outside our universe), while everything else is moving. Motion is relative. Get used to it. |

Theory of relativity.

Actually, that has nothing to do with this argument.
Newton's frames of reference, more like. --Guido http://andy.mikee385.com |

Hey, he saw the word 'relative' and responded to it. Picking single words is sort of becoming his schtick.

Can none of us remember the people that died in coal mining accidents? And only 2-3 people died in the chernobyl accident itself. A meltdown like that will never happen again because of lockdown mechanisms built into the powerplants. Also, Nuclear powers only gas emission is water. Pretty far from harmful. Nuclear waste, usually in small pebble form, can be stored very safely, and contrary to popular belief decays to safe levels relatively quickly (less than 100 years). It can also be reused in the reactor many times. Nuclear powerplant waste sites are extremely clean and safe. So let's see. Environmentally they're the cleanest power source (hidden costs associated with wind and solar), and they generate by far the most power. The only real negative is cost of putting them up, which makes them a bad move politically, but environmentally they're the top choice really. As for wind power, it doesn't generate enough power. On top of that, they're incredibly hard to place because 1. noise 2. they kill so many birds in many areas it's not even funny and 3. there are many hidden costs and emissions associated with wind power (production and then shipping of the parts).

The amount of hot water nuclear reactors put off is also difficult to deal with.

They can't constantly be putting boiling water through all of their systems. I have no doubt they would be reusing the water if they could.

If you read about it, and take a look at the diagram, you will see that MOST of the water is re-used. What isn't re-used is released as steam into the air. Boiling water isn't just thrown into a lake somewhere. Last edited by sadisticmgt; 07-17-2007 at 03:20 PM.. |
