Harnessing Tidal Energy: Stream, Barrage, Dynamic, and Lagoon Power
Harnessing Tidal Energy
Tidal stream generators (TSGs) utilize the kinetic energy of moving water to power turbines, similar to wind turbines. Some TSGs can be integrated into existing bridge structures, minimizing aesthetic impact. Land constrictions, such as straits or inlets, can create high-velocity sites suitable for turbines. These turbines can be horizontal, vertical, open, or ducted and are typically placed near the bottom of the water column.

The rustic and country setting is seen as a locus amoenus, a kind of paradise away from the city with its noise and haste. A wild place where man gives vent to her sensuality. Perceived by the senses, the chirping of birds, the prairie grass

Here I Go Again
I don’t know where I’m going
But I sure know where I’ve been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time

To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
