    In space…? Because that requires moving one part while the others stationary….

    Or moving one part opposite the direction of another, to create resistance.

    Windmills have used sails as fins for long time lol, its nothing new, im trying to get you think critically here.

    There’s plenty of conversation to be had about efficiency, heat venting, gross productivity. But “you can’t capture energy from another moving body” is something billards disproved several centuries ago.

      Just because you can capture it doesn’t mean it’s useful or beneficial.

      Not much science could be done with a constantly spinning satellite. And spinning stuff in space does some weird shit, we already know this.

        Virtually all of science has been performed on a constantly spinning satellite.

              My god are you twelve? Using someone’s random Lemmy server address as an insult. I’m sure you know what people think of yours… but it makes no difference to here. Again the context eh?

              Fucking lol.

                  No, I just can’t believe people like you haven’t been banned off this place yet. You’re exhausting. And looking at your comment count, there’s no way you can be making any conversations in good faith.

                  You’re just an absolutely pathetic troll, you make the other ones look decent.
