Impression of what a Tidal Bridge may look like. Several tidal pinch-points are being surveyed with regard to possible consideration for a vehicular causeway or bridge which over lays a string of vertical axis tidal current turbines. The synergies of cost and the free flowing nature of the structure add to the concepts attractiveness. Image: Courtesy of Blue Ocean. Prototype tidal stream generator deployed off the English coast in 2004. Designs which share established technologies with proven wind energy turbines have experienced a head start both in engineering terms and investor confidence.

Stingray used hydraulic rams to drive a generator as the tidal current caused the hydrofoil piston up and down in the water column. Image: Courtesy of The Engineering Business. The tidal range of most locations on earth can be predicted well into the future, here the decline in tidal amplitude during the week after the full moon can be seen for Loch Begg, in Scotland.
