Hi James,
I really don't know much detail about ocean energy, but noise equations
definitely would play a role. If one goes out in the ocean and analyzes the
water crests for a given area they'll find it's random, just like noise. The
longer one waits the higher the chances of seeing a higher crest. This is
similar to thermal noise voltage. A 100 mega-ohm resistor generates 0.13 Vrms
between 0 and 10 GHz at room temperature. That's the root square mean, but the
longer you wait the better chance you'll see a higher voltage crest. Wait
several years and you may see a crest over 100 volts. :-) The same effect
applies to ocean waves. That's about all I know on ocean energy except other
common knowledge for example gas accumulations forming at ocean bottoms and
occasionally erupting, thereby causes vast ocean waves.
Also I haven't study the Mark TPU much. From what I've read it could one of
three effects -->
1. His device is generating a high velocity rotating magnetic field that causes
electrons moving against the field to rotate, thereby converting electron
kinetic energy to DC voltage.
2. His device is tapping in and focusing mantle fields and currents.
3. His device is tapping in and focusing atmospheric currents.
Last year I wrote a computer simulation demonstrating how #1 works. I don't know
how strong such an effect is, but it should exist. This effect has nothing to do
with the Hall Effect. The effect strength is relative to average electron
velocity, rotating magnetic field velocity, and magnetic field strength. The
rotating magnetic field velocity is effective up to roughly the average electron
velocity, which is typically 1/200 c (1.5E+6 m/s). Also I have recently
speculated such an effect is the cause of the N-machine.
