Bottom Surfaces of VLFS or Very Large Floating Structures Perfect for Ocean Wave Energy Generation
There is a group of global warming alarmists who are all filled with doom and gloom.
They tell us that the ocean will rise and flood out all coastal areas.
Is this true? Well, it is true that the earth does go through cycles, and the level of the ocean has changed quite a bit over millions of years.
Some estimate that the ocean might rise 1.
5 feet by the year 2100.
Of course, this isn't insignificant, but what if it rose quite a lot? A small group of climate change researchers are claiming that it could rise 3 feet or even 6 feet.
In that case it would be quite challenging for many coastal regions that humans occupy.
That doesn't mean we couldn't build our cities on structures which float.
It's quite easy to do this, and we've built airports which float and all sorts of other things in Japan and China for instance.
Interestingly enough these structures make great platforms for ocean wave generation.
No matter what level the ocean recedes to or expands to, the oceans have been moving around on our planet for millions of years.
This quite a lot of energy expended, and we ought to be collecting more of it.
There is an interesting research paper titled in the Journal of Fluids and Structures [25(2009)406-419] which is worthy of mention; "Bottom slamming for a Very Large Floating Structure: Uncoupled global and slamming analyses," by M.

This research paper notes the huge pressures underneath from wave action and the challenges for structural integrity.
Well, if we are so worried that floating airports and floating cities are in danger from such a brutal powerful force, let's collect all this power using ocean wave energy generation strategies to power up the energy needs of the structure.
Yes, let's discuss all this shall we? It seems that engineers are worried about the intense pressures created by waves underneath these floating structures, but we can turn that into energy.
That air pressure and water pressure underneath could turn turbines, those turbines could blow air pressure flows to other parts of the platform, thereby stabilizing it, and collecting energy as the pressure moves around to balance the entire very large floating structure.
Is this free energy? Well, nothing is free, it was created by the gravity of the moon and the sloshing of the water, it came at a huge gravitational price, but not one that humans have to pay for, therefore it would be free to us, all we have to do is build the correct facilities and engineer the right ocean wave generation strategies to collect it.
Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
