Publisher's Synopsis
This special edition of 'Tidal Power' was written by A.M.A. Struben, and first published in 1921, making it just shy of a century old. The book is all about harnessing the power of tides to generate electricity to run machinery like generators and turbines.
This old text has sections on Tides, Standards of Measurement, Potential Tidal Power, Systems of Tidal Power Development, The Preparation of Projects, and more. The book also features illustrations of projects to make, tables of project costings, and calculations.
This old book is an absolute must-have for all Tinkerers and Steampunks interested in the old-fashioned non-electronic harnessing of power.
