We introduce Stellar J-Harvesting (SJH), a technosignature in which an engineered system extracts rotational angular momentum from a star. Unlike a classical Dyson sphere, such a system need not produce a detectable mid-infrared excess; its clearest signature would be a star rotating more slowly than comparable peers. We derive the energy-period relation for this effect, outline several possible coupling channels, and apply a population-relative slow-rotator search to Kepler stars using colour-gravity bins. After eight false-positive filters, the clean sample contains 6,725 FGK main-sequence stars. We find two >4 sigma slow rotators, but Gaia DR3 indicators and WISE imaging point to more ordinary explanations, including unresolved binaries and low metallicity. We therefore make no detection claim and place a conservative pilot upper limit on the occurrence of strong SJH-like signals, f_SJH < 4.5e-4. The main result is a search framework: angular-momentum technosignatures are testable with existing stellar-rotation catalogues, and the strongest outliers define concrete targets for spectroscopic, imaging, and radio follow-up.
