Tidal waves

[Charlatan]

To stop a tidal wave you need to stop the momentum of the wave. These waves are very big so it would be hard, but, if you were to level out the sea bed with machinery, pushing the sand outwards from after the swimming zones, leveling it out basically, the wave would lose momentum due to the level and start crashing earlier.

But that is expensive, so, maybe if they were to place turbines out at sea that absorb the waves power to generate electricity, big ones, they would, if secure, slow the wave down, and cycle a lot of it out to the bottom of the wave, making a huge dent in the wave.

This would be a sound investment as it will generate a lot of clean electrcity too as well as denting the wave down to size.

Or or, we could create a Tidal Wave Machine that creates a wave of the same amplitude so that the two waves cancel each other out, i'll start collecting the Wave Machine fund, WHO"S WITH ME????

if we got all the surfers in the world to ride that wave they could wear it down before it got to land.

One of these days Charlatan, you're going to hit it big-time with one of your plans, but perhaps this one might need a bit of work. You would need a sea wall to stop the ocean from eroding the sand again and you would need an awful lot of sand because you never know where the next one might hit. There's a lot of coastline out there.
