I would think there's some amount you could capture inductively or magnetically, but perhaps it's too small to be useful. Still, feels like fundamental enough science to look into.

I agree that it's interesting. I used to tell people about giant magnetoresistence https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9908855 until the SSD people ruined the punch line.

I'm not sure if the IceCube team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceCube_Neutrino_Observatory may find it interesting.

Anyway, I don't expect it to be a useful method to harvest energy.

That's exactly my point.

Science doesn't need to be applicable to be worth doing.
