What's the deal with hydroelectricity generators, specifically from "Wave/Tidal" type of power.
I'm quite baffled at how there haven't already been all sorts of "Free, Clean, Infinite Energy" devices set up, instead of trying to jump through Nuclear Hoops.

But in the article here:
>https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/nanogenerators-could-produce-electricity-from-sea-waves
it looks like it works by "floating up and down"? Surely there would be better ways to draw energy from the wave than that, right?
Picrel is one example I believe.

what's stopping us from doing this on the ocean bed?
The bedrock is MUCH thinner and you have a constant supply of cool water.

There is also the potential to combine this with natural carbon capture. How? Simply let the exhaust water (heated slightly) back into the ocean. The water originated at the seafloor, where nutrients are richest, after being heated, it'll rise in a column to the surface, where algae and micro flora will utilize the nutrient rich water, and bloom, thus removing carbon from the water. 90% of the carbon we pollute into the air ends up in the water, so this will have a positive effect on our atmosphere.

If you wanted to super heat the water into steam, you could even recondense it into desalinated drinking water.

I'm sure I could think of a few more good reasons for engineering a man made deep ocean geothermal vent ..... how about the fact that they can be used to mine minerals? Snails and shit have shells made of iron due to living in vicinity of these vents, so that means there's gotta be iron spewing out, right?

That should probably be the highlight of your sale's pitch- picrel

But yeah, you could probably even devise a system of graduating pipes/valves that take the pressurized deep ocean water, and have it "travel" up where there's less pressure, and spin some turbines on the way.

I'm sure if you added some vortex mechanisms, and some properly shaped tubing, you could produce a self-propagating water cycle to harvest energy from.

The most success in the US has been in Utah which does have a thin crust and volcanism. But in Finland they dug down 15k feet for heat, which is pretty far and definitely constitutes the kind of depth you're imagining.

What I mean rather is it has natural hot springs, so drilling can be done at nearer depths while hitting pockets of heat or natural hot water sources. As compared with most actively volcanic regions where it's used more often, like in Hawai'i.

They want to be able to have the ability to scroll through endless catalogs of prebuscent ""escorts"" they can rent/buy for a loaf of bread.
They want you to be MANDATORY, human 'guinea pigs' for their Medical Experimentations.

The problem is, when you say stuff like this, it sounds so crazy and unsettling, that most people choose to ignore it and pretend like that's not happening.
So much evil exists in the world because people would rather just pretend like it's not true, than even acknowledging it happens, and they sure as hell wouldn't want to actually do anything to end the Evil.

It's because they are quite literally, just evil people.
Fortunately, they're also extremely dull and incompetent, so they can only do so much at a time.

There are a couple issues with various methods of collecting unlimited energy from the sun/the moon/the atmosphere/the earth.

First, how long it will take to pay for itself. Coal or oil power plants pay for themselves extremely quickly, but for some forms of energy it takes a long time to make the investment back so companies don't want to do it.
Next, is the cost per kW. Basically how much money it costs to make a unite of electricity. Here again, they need to compete with oil and gas which are pretty cheap. With something like offshore wave turbines you have to deal with salt water corroding everything, and plants growing on shit, and doing any maintenance work is harder if you need to go it underwater. Costs pile on. Geothermal is also costly per kW.
Another issue is how consistent it is. Solar and wind are really bad for this. If the sun just isn't out, there's no power. If the wind doesn't blow, no power. Storing power overnight is not a real solution, because you're going to have coincidence situations every year or so where it just happens to be cloudy for a whole week, especially in the winter it's an issue since the days are already shorter.

In conclusion, most "easy" ways of making power aren't used that much because they're less profitable than the alternative, and no company wants to take the less profitable choice unless they're literally force to do so by law.

>>14871598
>You do know that your OP pic doesn't work because you've overlooked the energy used to load the balls into the chamber against the water pressure at that level?
The point is to fill the balls with water while they AREN'T under any water pressure, because you load the balls in the chamber, seal the chamber, and then have some them roll along some railing where they some magnet "activates" the ball's lid- and then when the ball is sufficiently filled with water, some buoyant internal device is toggled to seal the ball's lid.
Then when "all" of the water from the chamber is placed inside the balls,
the balls are loaded into the "launch chamber"(depicted as the chamber with the balls filled with water),
and the launch chamber opens to let the water flood in, so the balls float up to the top;
where they are floated along a track which initiates their lid to dump the water back into the tank,
to then descend back to the ground level.

There are plenty of different systems and techniques that could be used to physically extract the "energy" produced by the balls, so there is a crazy amount of improvements that could be made, but in theory, I don't see why this couldn't be scaled up to massive powerplants.

Same with >>14859200
It could potentially be scaled up to have floating cities which can hover indefinitely without any fuel.

Good question, but we could create the balls to seal/unseal themselves with magnets and similar tricks.

Do you think it would be possible to build sophisticated whirpools near the north/south poles, which could function as energy generators as well as potentially provide the ability to act as massive fields of whirlpool vortexs-like a windfarm but for the ocean-, where if we set them up in key locations could form larger, mega whirlpools, which could then draw in substantial amounts of water from around the world, until the turbines are halted/reversed, and the water then floods back to the coastlines and bring about intercontinental flooding?

Not the anon you're arguing with, but I'm struggling to get exactly how the rubber ball system proposed in the first post is supposed to work. From what I can understand, you have a large main tank, and a sealed unit at the bottom containing heavy objects that float. You open the sealed unit from the tank side, then generate energy from the objects floating up. The you take the objects out from the top of the tank and generate energy from them descending back down outside the tank to the level of the sealed unit. How do you then get them back into the sealed unit, and water out of it?

>Do you think the balls in this system wouldn't be powering a turbine or something similar as they go up/down?
Do you think "powering a turbine" has anything to do with a polarized copper wire or the manifestation of this phenomena you refer to as "electricty? Do you think burning,churning, and turning has anything to do with what's actually happening across hundreds of miles of copper, wireless breaks in between at multiple points in this system? Probably, which is why you believe the slow torpid rate of buoyancy can possibly manifest a current in this system.

You've more or less described a shake light, which the addition of water in the chamber which would make it even more of a pain in the ass to use, while also making it less efficient. Water doesn't just pump itself, it finds it's level. You need to introduce energy to make it not do that.

>It's probably my fault for lack of communication, but these 'doodles' I've presented aren't final drafts of a completed design; they're more of a "theoretical premise" that I'm trying to establish that can then be created and further optimized.

>How do you then get them back into the sealed unit, and water out of it?
The sealed unit has 2 "chambers".
There's the "Launch Chamber", which is what opens to the water tank, and then there's the "Lobby Chamber", which is how the empty balls enter once they reach the bottom.
If anything, you could take the energy produced by the balls floating up to help pump the water out of the chamber and back into the water tank, and then just worry about harvesting energy from the balls descending.

I mean, imagine taking thousands of 100+pound, dense yet highly buoyant balls- or some kind of shape; and use them to provide an "endless" stream of "energy" that you can scale up and harness, and potentially even have exponentially favorable returns if the done properly.

>>14880381
>Do you think "powering a turbine" has anything to do with a polarized copper wire or the manifestation of this phenomena you refer to as "electricty?
What? I thought external "energy" was needed to 'spin/activate' the turbine fins, to rotate a rotor in the gearbox to then make AC/DC electrical currents? I'm obviously not an expert on the subject, but that's just my basic understanding of the mechanics of that.
>It's not so much that, you're just re-describing the way power is already generated. The "balls" are analogously the "electrons"
From my understanding of modern power generation; they require additional material to operate their generators, no?
I'm merely proposing a self-sustaining, clean, free, energy generator that could be scaled up to massive power plants with relatively little work.
Anyway, by having vortex/whirlpool types of generators, you could potentially use them as a type of battery similar to flywheels.
So between generating self-sustaining, harvestable energy, it could also be designed to store large quantities of energy as well.

What, that sounds like nonsense; let's say you could attach 50lbs of weight to a ball, and it will still float.
Now let's suppose that the amount of water that fills the chamber to displace each ball is only like 5-10lbs of water per ball.

Surely 50lbs of buoyancy force would be more than enough to help move a few lbs of water, right?

Those two assumptions are contradictory. If a 50lbs ball floats, then it displaces more than 50lbs of water. Otherwise it wouldn't float.

Certainly, but for each pound of water you store in them, you'll be displacing a pound of water. So you gain nothing.

Yes, it does, and that is why the gold bar sinks. An object floats if it displaces an amount of water that weighs more than the object itself. Thus, a 50 pound ball can only float if it is large enough to displace more than 50 pounds of water. Like the bucket of air, which weighs less than the water is displaces -- until you push it under, at which point it will start sinking.

I think there's a lot of materials out there like rubbers that can weigh pretty hefty, but are also very buoyant in water.

I'm not saying the pic in OP is an exact schematic of the finished design, but besides relying on:

There are no such materials. If a material is denser than water, it sinks. If it is less dense than water, it floats. An object that is a hollow container can float even if the walls are denser than water, because the average density between the dense walls and the contained air is lower than that of water; but a solid ball of rubber will only float if it is lighter than the water it displaces.

No magnets, you get nothing.

Which is never going to happen, specifically because of how the archaic hertzian waveform you refer to as "electricity" is used and how you'll need to adapt your device to it.

>From my understanding of modern power generation; they require additional material to operate their generators, no?
Yes. To "operate": as in spin at a constant rate. Take the magnets away and...it still does this. Add the copper archform and magnets back in and voila! "Electricity", that is to anything that also has copper and magnets in it. What also happens is hysteresis because the magnets/copper resists this polarization, that is why you need pressure mediated torque to drive it. The set up you're suggesting doesn't have the torque and would have to be scaled up and utilize more material in step up transformers.

The reality is all "Green energy" faces the dilemma of "energy density" because of this reason. They do not have the torque/efficiency to ever be utilized to their full potential without wasting more money, material and ultimately CO2. But on paper, quantified in a controlled set up they "more efficient" because investors and normies only look at it the fossil fuel/CO2 perspective. What you don't look at it from is the very method you plan to deliver this "free energy" (though a waveform of loss and destruction).

Yeah, I'm thinking that the "ball" could have magnetic/pneumatic/hydrualic mechanisms to provide hinges/valves/beams/structure that can help provide the necessary shape/dimensions depending on what phase the "ball" is currently at in the system's process.

Huh? What are you even talking about? I'm simply providing an alternative way to spin turbines, that can be set up anywhere, regardless of unpredictable, uncontrollable conditions like weather, and can even function without requiring fuel.
What you do with the "archaic hertzian waveform" seem kind of irrelevant.

You create "electricity" with it. In the case of "alternating current" 60hz("hertz" as in "Herztian" as in "named after Heinrich Hertz the discoverer of this specific waveform you refer to as "electricity). It's completely relevant, it's specifically what you're trying to achieve, nitwit. (Unless that is you can come up with a different waveform that's more effecient and won't fry your electronics that is)

>How do we know?
Why the fuck do you think we use gasoline in the first place? You think we didn't calculate batteries and windmills and whatnot? We had the entire US railway dependent on windmills at one point. Our telegraph lines were powered with earth batteries. The actual Nikola Tesla experimented with battery cars himself and called them a waste. You NEED the energy density in order to electrify hundreds of thousands of miles of various wires, windings of motors, etc.

The "Green way" is to do this process in reverse, take that amount of material, the space for it, the infrastructure to gather the energy dense enough to power...an insignificant amount compared to just burning a gallon of fuel in a combustion engine that can generate it in exponentially less space, for exponentially less waste, cost, everything!

You floating ball would produce power...under the prime conditions of the waste energy it would take to pump the water to fill the tank.

As far as the actual turbine-generator goes, imagine it would function similar to a Hydro-Electric-Dam; the main difference being the ""Balls"" are used to help spin the turbines, as opposed to relying on a continuous stream of water from an advantaged height.

>You NEED the energy density in order to electrify hundreds of thousands of miles of various wires, windings of motors, etc.

You just have to fill the main Water-Tank up once; and then you could design a system that bilges itself; which should provide an increased amount of passive, harvestable electricity compared to the energy actively required to continue operating.

>Again, why we use a hydroelectric dam. Only that's more efficient and can produce energy faster and more abundantly when it's needed.
Even so, doesn't this open up the possibility that you could actually transfer water from the bottom, back up to the top of the dam, by using a ""ball"" transport system?

It's "blessed" in that the steam is what drives the pressures that necessitate turning a dynamo that's actually useful instead of pissing away most of it through the resistance of miles of wires connected to devices that only work some of the time.

>You just have to fill the main Water-Tank up once; and then you could design a system that bilges itself
There is no system that does this. Nature finds it's equilibrium. It's the same reason you can't just do what my troll physics pictures says or align magnets to always repel infinitely. It's pressure mediation, there's no infinite bottle exhaling the energy.
"Water finds its level" is a saying for a reason.

>Even so, doesn't this open up the possibility that you could actually transfer water from the bottom, back up to the top of the dam, by using a ""ball"" transport system?
Rain is free. Hydroelectric dams are put where there's typically always water flowing.

The only thing with more energy density right now is nuclear. The "density" part is very important because that affects everything in regards to actual efficiency/Co2 production, what have you.
