Wave Energy/Moon Gravity


Ten oz

Recommended Posts

The Moon's gravitational attraction of is responsible for tide. The amount of force required to move oceans is incredible relative to our (humans) our energy producing ability. At present there are attempts to harvest wave energy but none appear scalable to level which could be used to power large portions of industry of cities. That said the energy potential seems self evident. To my knowledge Nova Scotia is one of the leaders on this front. However most systems I am aware of focus on using swells to move magnetics

Are there other ways to harness the Moon's Gravitational attraction beyond using the tide to move magnetics? Could a friction be used to produce heat for example?
