It's that it wouldn't work very well, very long or provide any power to speak of. Think of the gearing required to go from 1 revolution per day to whatever is required for your electrical generation. A typical generator works at thousands of revolutions per minute. Even if your generator works as slow as 100 rpm, you're looking at a gear ratio of 144,000/1. Friction in the gears would probably consume all your power. Think of the scale of such a device. You would need something the size of a mountain, spinning, to generate anything significant. Taking this to the extreme, you're slowing down the rotation of the Earth to power the device. What if everyone did this? If you thought global warming was bad, think of global slowing! Anthony
