Tidal Energy

Tidal energy has long been considered the laggard of the renewable energy industry. That may soon change. After a brief explanation of how ocean tides originate, progressive reasoning and mathematics are used to make an estimation of the pressure generated by the incoming tide. This is followed by a description of a new innovative structure designed to generate electricity from tidal action. Hundreds and potentially thousands of these structures could be constructed worldwide. The production of hydrogen gas by means of water electrolysis is expected to be a key component of the operation, with the hydrogen shipped by tanker and/or pipeline anywhere in the world.
