Scientific paper
The factors involved in producing energy from variations in sea level due to tides are examined. The physics of tidal power is reviewed, considering gravitational effects of moon and sun; semidiurnal, diurnal, and mixed tides; and major periodic components that affect the tidal range. Attention is also given to shelving, funneling, reflection, and resonance phenomena that have a significant effect on tidal range. It is suggested that the best mechanism for exploiting tidal energy is to employ estuarine barrages as suitable sites with high tidal ranges. It is pointed out that the components for this technology are already commercially available.
