   The tidal activity in land is much smaller than that of in the sea because of its less flexibility and high density. With the help of a hydraulic amplification system, it is possible to extract energy from land tidal activity. 

          When the tide occurs, the top surface of the Earth will move up and down and  the body structure of the mechanism fixed on the top surface will also move up and down (see diagrams below). But there occurs a relative motion between the top surface of the Earth and the bottom of the supporting stand because of the density difference between the top and bottom (density is less on the top surface), flexibility (elasticity) difference between the top and bottom (flexibility is more on the top surface). The large two-way head piston is rigidly connected to the strong rigid-supporting stand and the supporting stand is rigidly fixed in the bottom of the deep well.

                During the upward motion of the cylinder (assume that the relative movement between the top and bottom is about 1cm), as the large two- way head piston is remaining stationary related to the bottom, the inside volume of lower chamber will decrease and the fluid in it will experience a high pressure, that causes the fluid in it with a volume of  0.0824m3 to escape through the 32.3cm diameter cylinder (Sc4 - see.fig) provided on the body structure. Since there is a small piston 4(Sp4) which can slide through its small cylinder, the fluid will push this piston in 1meter and the one way  piston 2 (Lp2) connected on the other end will also moves 1meter. Since the diameter of the one way cylinder2 (Lc2) is 1meter then, the volume of the displaced fluid by Lp2 will be 0.785m3 and  this fluid will escape through 37.7 cm diameter cylinder 3 (Sc3). This causes, the  small piston 3 (Sp3)  and the small piston 2 (Sp2) with the rack slides through the small cylinder 2(Sc2) and small cylinder 3 (Sc3) in 7meter. As the rack  is meshing with the pinions P1 & P2, it will rotate and through the gear train of the required gear ratio the power will be transferred to the rotor of the generator; and by its rotation, electricity will be produced.

                Similarly, during the down ward motion of the cylinder, in the tidal-fall, the inside volume of upper chamber will decrease and the fluid in it will experience a high pressure that causes the fluid in it with a volume of  0.1m3 to escape through the 35.6cm diameter cylinder (Sc1 - see.fig) provided on the body structure. Since there is a small piston 1(Sp1) which can slide through its small cylinder, the fluid will push this piston in 1meter and the one way  piston 1 (Lp1) connected on the other end will also moves 1meter. Since the diameter of the one way cylinder1 (Lc1) is 1meter then, the volume of the displaced fluid by Lp1 will be 0.785m3 and  this fluid will escape through 37.7 cm diameter cylinder 2(Sc2). This causes the small piston 2 (Sp2) and small piston 3 (Sp3) with the rack, slides through  the small cylinder 2(Sc2) and small cylinder 3 (Sc3) in 7meter. As the rack is meshing with the pinions P1 & P2, it will rotate and through the gear train of the required gear ratio the power will be transferred to the rotor of the generator and by its rotation, electricity is produced.
