The sea is a forgotten energy source.



Tidal waves and ocean currents are forgotten energy sources. 


Tidal waves offer a potential energy source in many places on Earth. The tidal waves can travel through the dams that are equipped with turbines. Or water can travel over the water mills, there is the generator connected. The system can use the dams that can fall if some big freighter must travel through. 

The tidal dams that can let the tidal water travel through those turbine channels can harness energy from that water flow. And in the case of storms, the dam can close those channels if the water level rises too high. The water power can be also in cases like the Ijisselmer in the Netherlands where the water must travel through the dam anyway. The dam can be equipped with turbines and generators. 

The hydro plants can also be more effective. If the drainage channels in existing hydro plants are equipped with turbogenerators. Those channels can also produce electricity. The system can drive electricity to the batteries. 

Another thing that can used for energy production is the ocean currents. The ocean currents are water masses that travel under the ocean surface. The normal wind generators that are put in underwater positions can harness energy from those underwater water flows. And also the smaller scale water flows can benefit electric production. 

The gravity systems can also be effective. The gravity system can be the gravity battery, where the weight moves up and down between the bottom and the surface. 

In some versions, there could be gravity plants in the ocean. The system can use pontoons that can filled with water. The pontoon is between the bottom and the surface. First, the pontoon is filled with water. And when it dives. It rotates the generator. At the bottom of the sea, the system blows pressurized air into the pontoon. And then it starts to rise from the bottom of the sea. That thing can also rotate generators. 

In some simple versions, the system puts sand in the box in the pontoon. That sand makes the pontoon sink. And then that thing puts the generator rotate. When the pontoon is in the bottom of the sea. That sand will drop out and the pontoon starts to rise. The capillary hover that archeologists use when they suck samples from the bottom can be used to bring the sand up again. 

That capillary tube can also bring water through the turbogenerator. That is used to make electricity from water by using electrolysis. The normal offshore oil rigs can use this system to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen can be used as fuel in regular power plants. 

The wave energy itself is the potential energy source. The waves are moving the cylinder back and forth. There is a stable structure that acts as a stator in that system. And when the shell is moving. The system called the "duck" acts as a generator. This is one version of how to benefit the waves and ocean energy resources.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th
