I got a question about Noah and the flood., page 2

To produce electricity using the Earth?

You'd need a lot of copper wire floating above the earth... a very thick band of it completely encircling the earth; a tube that enclosed Earth's orbit so the Earth could rotate freely inside it and revolve around the sun.

Then you'd have to shove the earth's ...actually, you couldn't shove the crust because that's not where the magnetism is. It's a property of the core. You'd have to move the core.

Here's a page showing how current is generated from magnetic fields:
hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...

Here's how it works in power plants (hydroelectric power is actually generated by huge magnets):
www.festivalhydro.com...

So you'd have to do something similar with the earth's core. Note that the magnetic strength of the earth is pretty doggone weak... and can be easily interfered with. So any magnetic thing on the surface would cause the magnetic field to be uneven and the effect to be much reduced.

Magnetic force also drops off with distance from the magnet... as you can easily see for yourself by just fiddling with a magnet.

And the Earth's magnetism is just... ordinary magentism. There's no Special Waves or Special Cases. It's just magentism like any old magnet you have on your refrigerator.

I'm not sure how much wire you'd need to make even a small amount of current using the Earth's magnetism, but I'd bet that it's going to be far more than we have lying around.

Toltec, I don't think you're going to find lightning storms with pole shifts, either.

Remember, this is an extremely WEAK FORCE.

If magnetic forces were involved in lightning/weather, we'd find electrical storms gathering constantly over power plants and transmitters.

It would affect animal migrations, since some seem to use magnetic guidance.

Crustal shifting doesn't affect the magnetic poles, since those are determined by the Earth's core.

You can see how far (and fast) the magnetic poles are drifting on this Canadian (eh!) geologic survey page:
www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca...

It's also got some nice links to magnetic observatories!

www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca...

Now that I've got a GPS (woohoo!) with both Magnetic and True North calibrations, I can track the drift for myself.

This is the page that tracks the pole's DAILY wanderings!

www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca...

(note on page says: "on days when the magnetic field is disturbed, may be displaced by 80 km or more")

I'm not sure if my GPS is sensitive enough to measure the daily wanderings, but it'd be interesting to see if it does. In any case, ain't that a cool page?

No offense James whatever but you are trying to in manipulation. I posted a link which offered evidence that at an asteroid 1/2 kilometer in circumference hitting the earth would cause a crustal shift.

As far as the effects of such an event it would cause a multitude of changes including
massive electrical discharges as a result of storms. And for the record I cannot act like anyone I am being myself. But if stereotyping makes you feel better I am used to dealing with the ways of racist.

Again the link
