QotW - 22.05.16 - Can we generate electricity through the spinning of the Earth?
« on: 16/05/2022 14:36:02 »
Linda has this thought and presented it to The Naked Scientists for help.

"If electricity can be made from spinning wind turbines, can the spinning of the earth be used as a source of electricity?"
