content: Every Country would have a primary/secondary tap. Countries in the sun light would pump solar energy in to their primary tap and countries at night would remove energy using their secondary transformer tap.Lets not confuse this concept with Nichol Tesla's ideas/experiments.The frequency selected would need to achieve primary coil resonance. A 1550 mile north south existing transmission line (1/2 wavelength @ 60hz) may possibly induce earth's magnetic field enough to begin experimentation.If a coiled primary winding is used it's length would be considerably shorter.What if a coiled primary winding at earths natural resonant frequency (somewhere between 2hz and 9hz) could be excited naturally and provide free energy or it might require manual excitation from human ingenuity.This is essential that we solve the worlds energy needs to avoid human extinction.

content: Fun. Yes the core is pretty hot (about 5000°C). That would be one heck of a hot transformer.

content: Sorry, but for the idea of transfering energy to the other side of globe, HVDC is a much more promising technology. I'm just not sure if we will ever need that, cause other options might be more efficient and cheaper. But earth-sized transformer is certainly not one of them.

content: Why don't you try something easy and practical. Like making a EM launcher in each country. When the sun is shining you launch 10000 kg iron slugs to the dark side, aiming for the EM launchers on the other side, which work in reverse to recover the kinetic energy in the slug. It will then be ready to fire back during the next day cycle.There are a few minor technical details to work out. I leave them as an exercise for the student. Kind of like Spin Launch.

content: Quote from: Andy Chee on September 16, 2024, 06:57:14 pmI think people foolish attempts at "trying to help" is what will ultimately ruin us.The average person (probably including me) is so ignorant about 90% of the stuff, and greenwashing makes so much more damage than it supposed to solve.Like trying to replace a plastic bag with a canvas bag, that uses 7100 times as much carbon and water (etc) footprint than plastic bags. And you can just as well reuse the plastic one dozens of times.

Do you pay for that as well?It’s also interesting to know, what tariff do you pay for the energy of cosmic background radiation coming from space?

content: Quote from: radiolistener on September 17, 2024, 12:10:46 pmTo answer that sensibly, no you don't pay for harvested energy, however you do have to pay for the rather expensive means to do so, not to mention storage devices...These things are not one time costs either unfortunately, as they also wear out and need replacing.Originally, nuclear was seen asFree Energy. Of course energy itself is all around but it has to be harvested, converted, concentrated, distributed, all that comes with effort and cost, which the overunity crowd, don't seem to understand

content: Quote from: schmitt trigger on September 17, 2024, 04:33:14 pmThe original meaning of that statement is that the cost of production would be very small, and therefore pricing would depend on capacity or maximum demand, dominated by transmission costs, rather than actual energy used.

content: It is more accurate to say that all energy is free.However, converting energy from one form to another may not be free, as it may involve work that often incurs costs.
