Sorry, I meant to say... Is there a legitimate reason why a device can't be designed that functions using the same principals as the tide? Without simply having to piggy back on tidal energy. For instance isn't it reasonable to assume there must be more than one way to use the same principals...

A couple of question. If this is correct, can you answer this. If the Earth slows down over time due to kinetic energy being diverted from it's spin into tidal forces... Then by that reasoning the Earth must be rotating slower now than it did when the dinosaurs lived? Maybe it is. However if...

If the gravitational effect of the moon influences tidal forces on earth, doesn't that violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics? If gravity is a force and not energy, and only forms of energy can convert into other forms of energy. Then how can gravity create tidal forces, which are kinetic energy...

I did read the rules with all due respect. All I basically want to know is if we took a boulder into space and pushed It back to earth, the energy released from the impact could easily far exceed the energy it took to take the boulder into space and push it back to earth. So that means energy...

I know perpetual motion machines typically break the third law of thermodynamics...due to friction losses. So let's use a flywheel, spinning in a magnetic field, as an actual real world example of a working perpetual motion machine with zero losses to friction, or if not zero then practically...
