On the question of the energy of the precessional dynamoThe various estimates for the coupling mechanism by which precession transfers rotational, kinetic energy of earth into the energy of its magnetic field are generally considering hydromagnetic stresses that originate between mantle and core. Estimates of the energy of the geomagnetic field calculated from the data of spherical harmonic analysis derive precession energy values in reasonable agreement with the observed external energy of the geomagnetic field and with the rate of ohmic dissipation of energy in the core.
