Abstract
THE idea of utilising the rise and fall of the tides for power purposes has long been a favourite one. Up to the present, however, no power development of this kind, of any appreciable size, has been carried out. The comparatively recent arousing of interest in water-power development in general, and the great advance in the cost of fuel, have been accompanied by a corresponding interest in tidal-power schemes, and their commercial possibility is at the moment the subject of serious investigation in this country and in France.
