What has this got to do with the generation of "free" energy?
There will never be a free energy machine because it is impossible. It goes against the laws of physics.
If Einstein were alive, he would be the first to debunk the idea of "free energy".
Einstein showed that absolute time had to be replaced by a new absolute: the speed of light. Einstein went against the grain and totally dismissed the "Old Physics." He envisioned a world where space and time are relative and the speed of light is absolute (at the time, it was believed that space and time were absolute and the speed of light was relative).

atleast some pic or schemes so we benefit from this

I think we could even feed the whole planet, but for this.

Einstein was a free thinker, and wouldn't debunk anything without proof.

Can anyone explain to me, in simple terms, how the earth is powered to rotate?

In simple terms; Newton's First Law. An object set in motion will tend to stay in motion. The Earth's rotation started when it coalesced from the protoplanetary disk. There hasn't been much to slow it down but it actually is, very slowly slowing down. There is a lot of momentum there. It is one very large and heavy flywheel.

I have a follow-up question, please.
If the Earth is slowing down, when will stop or will it?
Is the tide turning?
...Ronan Doherty is chief technical officer with Aquamarine Power, which is developing the Oyster wave energy converter. "It's a novel design," he claimed, "which is different from most other devices."
While most designs generally use turbine like structures for use deep water, Oyster is intended for nearshore deployment.
"There's a clear benefit in our approach," Doherty continued. "Because we use hydraulic transmission of power, we don't have complicated electrical and electronic equipment offshore, which makes maintenance easier."
Developing offshore power generation systems will stretch the engineering profession's ingenuity. As far as Oyster is concerned, Doherty observed: "Because of the sheer scale of developing Oyster, we have overcome significant challenges in several fields, including system control and foundation design."
