Can we create tides artificially?

The mass of all the world's oceans is less than 2% of the mass of the moon. Therefore the moon (and even the sun) causes gravitational effects on the earth to cause tides. For achieving something similar, we'd have to get enormous mass into orbit which is not feasible. Related answer from goobuh-fish:. read more

We get a tide on the earth because the side of the earth on the opposite side from the moon experiences less gravitational pull from the moon than the near side that is close to the moon. This makes a net force on the object which stretches it out toward and away from the object generating the tide. read more

There is nothing that can shield out this force of lunar gravity. The force of the Moon’s gravity is stronger on the side of the Earth nearest the Moon and is weaker on the side of the Earth opposite the Moon. read more

A method of having the Moon create artificial tides, for energy harvesting. We have known for thousands of years that the Moon causes and creates spectacular amounts of energy that exist in the Oceans' Tides (every day). read more
