The influence of the moon on tides is now well known but perhaps less known is the existence of similar phenomena that occur both in the atmosphere that the Earth's crust. Imperceptible movements linked to the moon began to be regarded by scientists as triggers of weather events and earthquakes.
Even before Newton, and since the time of the Greeks, you know the links of the rhythms of the tides with the position of the moon even if you did not know the causes of these reports. Yet Galileo Galilei, seeing no physical contact, rejected the idea of \u200b\u200bthe influence of the Moon on tides, attributing the cause of the latter to the rotation land. He accepted, however, the influence of the moon and planets on human destiny by practicing, more money for that conviction, the art of astrology. Logical contradictions of materialism.
tides with their major shifts in water level in some areas even several feet, move extraordinary energy. The idea of \u200b\u200bexploiting the ocean currents that follow the tides to produce electricity began to be applied in different parts of the world, including Italy. The water flowing in a square meter at 3 meters per second is capable of producing approximately 3kW.
