RE: Science Nerds: Could Jupiter's Magnetic Field be harvested for energy?

At work.
Short answer; "Yes"
Longer answer; So, do you remember the 'Tether' experiment done on board the shuttle? Basically you're holding a 'Wire' inside a rotating magnetic field. Just, the feild is being 'Spun' by a planet.
Basically power/electricity generation would be a side effect of any bean-stalk or sky-hook mounted on any planet with a magnetic feild.
The amount of power you'd get out of Earth's magnetic feild would be a 'Lot'. Doing on Jupiter? A "metric fek-ton". (Technical term, that
)
Cheers.
