I thank you guys for your input. I may sound naive to you, as I am in this area, so I appreciate you taking the time.

I was thinking more of using fixed weights. I was also thinking that as the energy from the gears start to transfer to the weights, which will cause the weights to rotate, you could use the same gears as a breaking mechanism and absorb energy like that?

So where would the weights get the energy to rotate with the earth, if they are attached to the outside of the bearing? I don't see how the energy from the shaft would apply directly to the weights.

The weights on the bearings outer circumference should act as an anchor. The bearing would prevent the transfer of energy from the shaft to the weights, right?

How couldn't you tap into the rotation of the gears shaft that is installed through a bearing, attached to an arm or some other structure fixed to earth.

If one constructed a platform at the absolute south pole, that is truly perpendicular to the Earth's axis and then constructed a shaft on such platform that is aligned parallel and on center with the Earth's south pole axis and then installed a bearing, with large weights on the outer...
