Just a speculative thread and im surprised i hadnt thought of it sooner. Earth will always have a magnetic field and if we could tap into it then we could have unlimited energy.my hypothesis is theres a break even point in cooling a superconducter generator coil that eventually ends in more electricty than it takes to cool the super conductor. Odds are the north and south poles would have the highest energy density for this equation. It can probably be placed anywhere except exactly on the equator. Odds are the winding rotor has to be huge if near the equator.

Interesting thought. Hope to see it someday!

I suspect it will need to be about 20ft in diameter to function.but once up to speed it should cover its cost to cool it and produce extra power.magnetic bearings would help as the unit cools,the bearings will perform better too.it would probably work best laying flat for better balance.then a teflon coupling to couple to the generator side of the drive unit.this way the generator isnt heating the motor.

It may be that it needs no motor and just works on its own. An ai could do the math to see.

Figured it out.emhd means magnets can move seawater.that means seawater can move electrical currents..that means big steal tubes wrapped in superconductor or even just copper plates,could be sunk in the oceans deep channels and ocean currents could generate electricity with no moving parts.they wouldnt hurt sea life and could be coated in silicone to not corrode.easily hundred year,low maintenance generators. Probably even sink them in mississippi.anywhere thats near to shore and has high flow rates,reasonable salt densities. It takes real strong magnets to move seawater thus the inverse should be true too.
