Then of course is the difficulty with maintenance in corrosive sea water, and the difficult of servicing such a machine (the tides don't stop for maintenance!).
    Shut the fuck up. You know nothing about this at all.

    Maybe he is talking about the Gulf Stream, e.g.? Of course currents are caused by tides in inlets.

    He is just googling shit. Trying to act like he knows this. And failing.

    Tides do not cause currents in open ocean. Good thing, too. Oceans wouldn't be navigable if they did!

    In inlets, yes. However, we are talking about open ocean. The Gulf Stream is caused by temperature differences and prevailing winds (also caused by temperature differences).

    Once again. Learn something. Or just pipe down. You are sounding like Domer now. Google things your know nothing about then try to present them as fact.

    I do get to tell dumbfucks like yourself to shut the fuck up. Uneducated fools like yourself who google shit and try to pass it off as fact get told: Shut the fuck up. They also get told: Get an education.

    Once again, when you learn something about this, come on back. Until then. Shut the fuck up.

    No, I don't depend on Google, dude. I already know the physics of it.

    All tides do in open ocean is cause sea level in that region of ocean to rise and fall a bit. It is caused by the unbalanced gravity resulting from the Moon and Earth orbiting around an offset barycenter, and the Earth and the Sun orbiting around an offset barycenter.
    The water is literally expanding and contracting in place (the land does the same thing, but not as pronounced). No current results from this. Since high tide to low tide is in the space of only six hours, your theory would result in violent currents constantly flowing back and forth across the ocean.

    They aren't there.

    Currents in oceans are the result of temperature differences only.

    YALIFNAP. False authority fallacy. Redefinition fallacy (fact<->proof).

    Quite the meltdown. Because you are completely wrong. An idiot in fact. As expected, it is all you have.

    I was hoping you were going to be that stupid. And sure enough you provided "Mr. Physics". Do you honestly think that tides are regional and not global? Are you really that fucking stupid? Do you think the sun and the moon selectively pick only an area at a time to cause tides? Once again, not globally? Seriously. Shut the fuck up. The only "physics" you know are what you google. The sad thing is you have no idea what it means.
    to have tides?

    Fell silent real quickly there Into the Night. Hmmmm. Well "Mr. Physics", hope your ass does not hurt too much. Here is a hint for you though in the future. Never argue with a Master Mariner about anything to do with the oceans. You fucking landlubbing puke.

    I think it could well happen in the future but it would require far less expensive delivery systems. There is also the issues of what frequencies do you use, that won't interfere with existing microwave based systems like cellphones etc. A huge issue as well is maintenance and replacement, space is an extremely harsh environment and equipment would wear out far quicker than on Earth.
