Abstract:

Tidal energy generator uses the scalar gravitational potential to utilize energy from celestial bodies. Kinetic energy is extracted from the celestial objects by means of a system including a rotatable arm, a mass fluctuation producing system arranged on the arm and including dielectric material whose mass fluctuates when subjected to a changing electromagnetic field in view of the scalar gravitational potential of the celestial objects, a rotation system that rotates the arm at a variable speed to cause rotation of the mass fluctuation producing system thereon, and a control system that controls the mass fluctuation producing system and rotation system in order to accelerate the dielectric material when it has a relatively light mass and decelerate the dielectric material when it has a relatively heavy mass. Excess energy arising from an energy differential between the acceleration and deceleration of the dielectric material is directed to a load.
