Lets say that we have a very long, vertical, grounded, electric conductor planted at the equator (something similar with the "space tether" satellite, but here on Earth). Now we can consider that the electric wire is moving through Earths magnetic field with the Earths rotational speed at that point. My question is if we could tap electric energy from the electromagnetic induction in the wire, considering that we can remove the accumulated electrical charge at the tip of the wire, let's say by spraying water mist...?
