Show Tides Used for Power With the claim that it is the first to use the tides successfully in the generation gen-eration of electricity, n hydroelectric plant employing this principle has been set up at East Saugus, near Lynn, Mass. The plant, which is the invention inven-tion of Domenico Damiano of Boston, was begun two years ago and was completed com-pleted and put in operation early in the present year. It consists of a small power house above a well on an arm of the Saugus river, in which is a turbine set in motion by the ebb and flow of the tide. About 05 horse power is generated by a dynamo rigged to the turbine, says the New York Times. The plant was financed largely by Italian residents of Massachusetts. |
