Weird Question About How Gravity Works

I have a question that I have thought about for many years to do with
gravity and electric but have never found the answer.
As Einstein is not around I thought id run it by you guys. I just don't
understand and was wondering if anybody could help.
I keep reading in all these newsgroups that the most powerful constant power
source in the universe are the forces of gravity.

And thinking about it the earth spins at 1000 miles an hour or something
daft like that constantly forever which leads me to my question.

If say we had perfect sphere and magnets made it spin in a contained unit at
1000's of miles per hour like the earth principal does that give of any
electrical charge that would be collected and if so why don't we use that
type of power source more often. Does that type of unlimited power source
exist and if not why not.?

It is an impossible science thing to use gravity to collect power???? If so
why?
Why cant we collect power of this particular type of force. I was thinking
about microchips and how small they are and wondered why we could not put
100's of spheres onto a chip and use conductors to collect the electricity
it produces.

If it could be done and miniaturised then we could use these unlimited safe
battery units for something like PDA's phones etc etc etc. Has any research
on this ever been done???

Now I know this question is very strange and a little simplistic but I would
appreciate a sensible answer or discussion on this.?

I don't know if this helps answer your question or not, but there are a
number of interesting techniques for harnessing the energy of bodies in a
gravity well. The two current uses are tidal power plants which depend on
tidal water flows to generate electricity. Ultimately, the energy for
tidal power comes from the gravitation energy of the Sun, Earth, Moon
system.

A second method is for space probes to pass by planets in order to boost
their speed by the orbital speed of the planet. It converts a miniscule
portion of that planet's gravitation energy to kinetic energy of the
probe.

By "gravitation energy" I refer to the sum of gravitation potential energy
and the total kinetic energy of the system.

Its a interesting subject. I think this is the way it will be done in the
future. We have to work out a way of using free energy.

There the problem is getting the "free energy" not in using it. You're
breaking the Second Law of Thermodynamics. No one has ever observed a
violation of this law, but many people have misrepresented low energy loss
systems as net energy producers.
