In the early part of the 21st century, Myron Evans developed a new unified field theory which he called the Einstein Cartan Evans (ECE) theory. The ECE theory showed the flaw in Einstein's theory of General Realitivity. Not only can space-time be curved to create gravity, it also spins to create all the electromagnetic effects. In fact ECE theory demonstrates that all physical phenomena can be explained with 4 dimensional geometry that includes spin and torsion and is a truly unified theory that unifies quantum mechanics, electromagnetism and gravitation. The ECE theory is explained at length at websites like www.aias.us and www.upitec.org
ECE theory demonstrates that there are additional terms to be added to standard Maxwell Heaviside equations of conventional EM theory. These terms are the scalar and vector spin connection, ?0 and ?.
These terms can be considered as the time component of an axis of rotation and the space components of rotation respectively.
So, now the updated equation E = -(? + ?)? replaces the standard E = -?? where ? is the electric potential.
This added spin connection, ? allows electricity to be directly drawn from space as explained at the above mentioned websites.
