Recently, an attempt has been made to create electricity using a large
electric loop in the space using earth magnetic force.  However, such thing
should not be a source of energy in the space since it takes energy to
change the flux that passes through wire loop and only a fraction of that
energy would be translated to electric energy. Further more, if the rotation
of satellite itself to be used for this task, the emf back force would change
the speed of the satellite.  That results in altitude drop for satellite.

However, if sun should have magnetic poles and if these magnetic poles
be strong enough, one could use earth rotation around the sun to create 
electric energy. This leads to too small a drop in the earth radius, to
be noticeable for all practical purposes.  Could someone give us some idea
about the sun's magnetic field?

                       With highest regards,
                            Babak   Sehari.
