To detect tides with a symmetrical wheel, start it spinning. It will experience a gyroscopic torque due to tidal forces. This is actually the same mechanism that causes the earth’s axis to precess.
When you speed a wheel, you have to input some energy into it. And then, doe to the friction, you have to input more energy.
To have a higher coolness factor, it would be nice to harvest all the energy from the Sun-Earth-Moon system.
