Can We Generate Energy by Drilling Deep Ocean Holes?

[Redbelly98]

look water is magnetized like matter is.. just check those videos on youtube with high power magnets and you will se water foating like zero-G

Water's relative permeability, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(electromagnetism)#Values_for_some_common_materials", is only μ/μ₀=0.999992

If you're going to make fantastic claims, at least post a link to "those videos" so we have something to critique.

Theres already methods of harnessing energy from gravity (like from the flow of water), but not in very massive amounts.

The highest capacity power plant in the world is the Three Gorges complex currently above 20,000 MW of hydroelectric power.

The water mass of the complex is so great that it has bent the Earth's crust.

thats from its mass, not its magnetism

He's going to link the levetating frog. Not realising that it's BECAUSE water has a low permeability (ie it's a diamagnet) that it levetates which isn't the same as magnetising it. It also required enormous field strengths.On a different note, I believe I misread what andrewbb was talking about (just reread the thread). The talk of capillary action made me thing he was trying to increase that effect by magnetism . Not that just a charged rod would encourage condenstation. Which I've never head of, but don't know enough about to comment.
