You can generate electricity by spinning a magnet or something around copper wire and the field pushes the electrons in one direction which is electricity.Most energy is just harvested by spinning wheels with steam or wind or water.But in space, wheels spin forever due to conservation of angular momentum. So why don't we just go somewhere with low gravity and spin a wheel there to get infinite energy lol.

>>16910037because the current in the wire then creates it's own magnetic field in the opposite direction which slows down the magnet
>>16910037That is merely energy transfer.
steam wind water...interesting things arn't they
don't think of it as a generator think of it as a converter, mechanical energy converter, ie turbines -> electric energymind = blown
>>16910037If you get energy out of a spinning wheel, that means the wheel is gonna slow down. Angular momentum will be lost to the wheel.
