Conservation of angular momentum says you can't get energy from the Earth's rotation unless you have a reaction force on something in space.

Indeed. Coriolis force doesn't give any energy since it applies the force perpendicular to the direction of motion.

Straight up lies.

Couldn't it be simple ignorance? And not intentional deceit?
You're saying the company that built the generators wouldn't know how they work? I don't see how it could be anything else other than intentional.

Nope, I "asked" a hypothetical question based on this:
>...one of the companies cited in the Wikipedia article..."
And then this:
>liars
If the company in question are saying stuff like "powered by the coriolis effect" then to call them liars, you'd have to actually look at their site and see if they actual sell anything real. Then either do research on the claim, and then come to a judgement, like this:
1. If they are crackpots in their garage and sell hand-made junk from PVC scraps, then yes, it could be ignorance.
2. If they have a real engineer and a marketing department, then it's probably lying.
Which is it? I don't care to look at every site on Wikipedia to figure out which one the comment was about. So instead, I asked the question, maybe someone else has done some research?
My first thought was that didn't sound right so it must just be marketing bs.
