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 circumference of such bearing, onto such a shaft, would such a bearing not spin as the Earth rotates? If such is true, then couldn't a gear be fixed to the top of the bearing that would cause other gears attached to Earth to rotate as the Earth rotates. Thus giving one the ability to generate energy?
