Interesting challenge. You'd need something independent of the Earth's rotation to start, something on the pole that is hovering perhaps, or maybe a gyroscope of some kind. but let's start with something hovering, because it's cooler, perhaps a superconductor magnet.

Then you'd tie a rope from the hovering object to a stationary point on the earth. As it spun there would have to be some sort of generator in the hovering object that would convert that pull into energy without spinning the hovering object along with it
