Connect to the hull bottom a cable which travels down thru a pulley block (kloben ;7) ) (anchored to seabed and immovable) and back onto land or indeed the displacement body itself. The cable is wound around a generator pulley. As the body rises and falls as the tide rises and falls beneath it it uses the displacement floatation force to generate electricity. That is -- continual mechanical energy is used to give continual electrical energy output.
The floatation device generating this rise and fall and electricity generation (in both directions) is attached to the earth system and IS the object of the Angular Momentum Exchange Mechanics AND demonstrates real "gains" in the relationship here on earth are possible !
Here is the A.I. Chat response.
Could a floating structure, anchored to the sea floor and able to rise and fall with the tide, generate electricity in a practical way?
It is theoretically possible to generate electricity using a floating structure that rises and falls with the tide, but it is not currently a practical or economically viable method of producing power.
One possible way to generate electricity using a floating structure is to use tidal turbines, which are similar to wind turbines but are placed in the water and driven by the movement of the tides rather than the wind. Tidal turbines can be placed on a floating platform that is anchored to the sea floor and rises and falls with the tide, allowing the turbines to capture the energy of the tides as they flow in and out.
However, there are several challenges to using tidal turbines in this way. One of the main challenges is that the tides are not a consistent or reliable source of energy, as they vary in strength and frequency depending on the location and the time of year. Tidal turbines also need to be placed in areas with strong tidal currents in order to be effective, which can be difficult to find in some locations.
In addition, the cost of building and maintaining a floating platform and tidal turbines is likely to be high, and the electricity generated by this method would likely be more expensive than electricity produced by other methods such as hydroelectric power. As a result, tidal power is still in the early stages of development and is not yet widely used as a source of electricity.
How would you define this floating structure as harvesting energy? Is it harvesting energy from the earth's angular momentum, or is it harvesting tidal power as a result of the moon and sun's gravitational pull on the ocean?
A floating structure that rises and falls with the tide and generates electricity using tidal turbines would be considered a way of harvesting tidal power. Tidal power is a form of renewable energy that is generated by harnessing the energy of the tides, which are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun on Earth.
The floating structure would not be directly harnessing the Earth's angular momentum for energy generation. The Earth's angular momentum is the result of its rotation around its axis and does not directly cause the tides. Instead, the tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth, which cause the water in the oceans to be slightly more attracted to them, creating the tidal bulge.
Tidal power is a distinct form of energy that is generated by capturing the energy of the tides as they move in and out, rather than by harnessing the Earth's angular momentum. Tidal power can be generated in a variety of ways, including the use of tidal barrages, tidal fences, and tidal turbines, which are placed in the water and driven by the movement of the tides.
