Tidal Wave and Surplus Electricity Generator

[Ronald Bolivar Chua]

I'm never going construct it and don't have the money to patent it. Basically this model is comprised of DC motors, 2 per each surface area flaps. Each Buoy may have even more Motor units attached each centralized unit should generate the same amount of current as long as the buoy does not sink.
Stage one
Tidal Wave Electric Generator
Free electrical production
1) The buoy ascends and descends, the surface area catches the weight of the water, only the centralized motor unit ascends.
2)As the central unit ascends, the next central unit is pulled and the surface area for that motor unit holds as the central unit ascends

​Stage two creating more wattage
I have no schematics but the idea seems simple
1)initial stage one generation of electricity pays the electrical cost of air compressors
2)Air is compressed into the track tank
3)As the tank ascends, it generates tension within the track
4)At the height of the track the tank docks and water floods the vessel
5)The release in upwards pressure releases the tension wound up from the track which travel to the base transferred into a tension cog
6)Tension cog rotation transferred to electric turbine
7)The tank now filled with water descends (sinking)
8)At the base of the track, air compressors again force air into the tank and the water out of the bottom to begin the cycle once again
​-If such is sufficient enough, segments can be added on to produce more electricity.
I guess the goal is for megawatts, or even gigawatts...
Buoy ascent with a turbine track will not be fast enough for sufficient electrical surplus, but tension transference would be optimal....

Yes and no.

The first is a variation on the many wave-action or tidal energy schemes out there. Its not 'free' because you're ignoring the initial capital cost and the ongoing maintenance cost. Having hinged joints in contact with salt water is going to have quite high maintenance costs. Whether the long-term cash flow is positive or negative depends on a large number of factors but it is possible to produce net energy this way.

The second is a variation on the perpetual motion (or 'above unity') concept which simple physics will never allow to work. If you do a proper rigorous analysis, you will find that the energy required to inject compressed air into your float at depth eats up all the energy you can get from its resulting rise (and quite likely a bit more because no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient). Of course, people who have convinced themselves to ignore science in the first place can never be disabused of their beliefs and trying to do so is generally pretty futile.
