Within a second we are traveling at a high speed of approx 30Km/sec

            As earth is revolving and completes a round (herself) within 24 hrs apprx. Looking at her max perimeter we are traveling approx 30KM/sec. 
Can we use this energy for trasportation? 
Please suggest your ideas

                    no we cant use this energy as its earths rotaion speed and it cant be used

                            My Idea is 
Keep some object above ground level against two forces (Gravitational and Revolving) 
Within a second earth moves to next 30 km. We can take down the object. 
Is it possible?

                    Not really.
It is the same as travelling in a train. You are moving relative to the earth at 60 mph but at 0 mph relative to the train.
The only time I can think of when use is made of the earth's rotation is when firing a rocket into space. The closer you are to the equator the less power you need to get into orbit.
