$\begingroup$ @BrandonEnright This link in that question is just what I was looking for! www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/Education/wtether.html $\endgroup$– Albert RenshawCommented May 28, 2013 at 2:12

$\begingroup$ Your question was about dragging a wire through the upper atmosphere rather than just through Earth's magnetic field. Does that other question actually answer your question? If so we should mark this as a duplicate. $\endgroup$– Brandon EnrightCommented May 28, 2013 at 2:20

$\begingroup$ @BrandonEnright Isn't earth's magnetic field avaliable in the upper-atmoshpere? Anyways, I don't know how to mark this as a duplicate, I might not have unlocked that ability yet with such low reputation. $\endgroup$– Albert RenshawCommented May 28, 2013 at 2:33

$\begingroup$ Indeed the Earth's magnetic field is available well beyond the atmosphere of the Earth. It sounded like your question was about generating electricity from the charged particles in the ionosphere, not from the Earth's magnetic field. $\endgroup$– Brandon EnrightCommented May 28, 2013 at 2:37

$\begingroup$ @BrandonEnright Ah! No, I'm talking about dragging a wire through the magnetic field (to induce the faraday effect) $\endgroup$– Albert RenshawCommented May 28, 2013 at 2:47

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. quantum-mechanics), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
