Show UTILIZING POWER OF TIDES Difficulties In Way of Project Will Alt Be Overcome The difficulties of concentrating tidal tid-al power and making It available are great and so far It has been used anion ani-on a small scale and In a primitive way but the near future will probably see great electric generating plants established at favorable Ireilltles where the tides run high and there are natural storage basins Some months ago a plan was worked out for utilizing utiliz-ing the ebb and flow of the River Seine Assuming that tidal embankments embank-ments were needed for guiding the channel through the estuary It was proposed that these be connected to tho shore on either side so as to form two largo reservoirs each of which should bo divided Into a high water basin and a low water basin the discharge from one to tho other to drive turbines The available tide Is about 10 feet Each reservoir would have an area of about 2500 acres and It was estimated that about GOOOhorsopower would bo given oft during tho six hours of tho rising title Tho cost of division dams turbines and other works was placed at 00 000 From this tho annual cost of each horsepower was computed at 800 Including In-cluding land rent and Interest at toper to-per cent but this would rise to more I than 3000 If the channel walls were I to form a part of the expense |
