civilization will continue the maintenance of
the machinery
One of the troubles with tide power, and
the one that has deferred its use so long, has
been its intermittancy. There is always a
dead period at high tide and at low tide
while the ocean current is changing its direc-
tion. Furthermore, the moon is somewhat
irregular in its supply of tidal power. At times
of full moon and new moon, our satellite has
a strong ally in the sun - both are pulling
together to raise the waters of the oceans.
The tides produced by the sun and moon
pulling together in this way are very much
higher than the average tides for the month,
and are known as spring tides. Spring tides will
occur regularly, then, about two weeks apart.
When the moon is near the first quarter the
sun and moon are working against each other,
but the moon, being much the nearer of the
two bodies, predominates so that the water
yields more in the direction of the moon than
in that of the sun. The resulting high tide,
however, is much lower than the average
When the moon is at last quarter a similar
condition results. These less than average
tides. which alternate with the spring tides,
are sometimes called neap tides.
There is no way of mitigating these irreg-
ularities in the heights of high and low
water. There is trick, however, for nlain-
tanning fairly steady flow of current which
fluctuates only with the fortnightly range of

Everyone knows that the moon exerts
gravitational pull on Mother Earth. The moon
is 24OOO0 miles away, but the oceans on the
earths surface are mobile and yielding. The
water on the side of the earth toward the
moon is pulled away from the earth's surface
about two or three feet in mid-ocean. Mathe-
matical reasoning shows that on the opposite
side of the earth from the moon the water
will also rise nearly an equal amount as the
moon upsets the balance between the centrif-
ugal and gravitational forces.
One may picture. then. two huge tidal
waves. like vast bulges in the oceans. on
opposite sides of the earth. As the earth
rotates and these huge waves travel, they
reach the shorelines and are forced into gulfs
and bays until the huge volume of water,
crowded for accommodation, rises sometimes
to heights of forty to fifty feet at some places,
as in the Bay of Fundy between Nova Scotia
and Maine
The two tides are encountered by given
seaport about twice every twenty-five hours.
While the earth turns on its axis with respect
to the sun once in twenty-four hours. the
moon is speeding eastward in its orbit, and it
takes twenty-five hours, so to speak, for a
given port to catch up with the moon. Thus
the lunar day is about one hour longer than
the solar day.
Twice every lunar day, therefore, hun

and out of the Bay of Fundy between Var

PaSSamaquOddy Bay begins the
first realization on gigantic
scale of tapping the moon for source of
power.
Dredging on the shores of the Bay of Fundy
sounds like far cry from tampering with
the romantic moon, doesn't it1 That is why
the new federal tidal project is one of the
most romantic episodes in the history of
science and engineering. Many dreamer
has unused for hours on the granite shore
lines of Maine. watched the ceaseless ebb and
flow of the tidal waters and wondered how
this energy might be converted to the use of
man. With every apparent turn of the moon
about the earth. once every 25 hours, he has
seen unthinkable tons of water surge in and
out of the estuaries along our coastlines and
dreamed of the day. which is now actually at
: hand, when these tides will be harnessed for
the production of electric power
To be sure tide mills have been con-
structed and put in operation heretofore. On
the Boston marshlands stands an old spice
mill that has boasted of tidal power for a
hundred years. With the cheapening costs of
electricity, however the old moon has had
pretty severe competition in supplying energy
for the manufacture Of spices.
Never before the Passamaquoddy Bay
project however have millions of dollars
been available for carrying out tidal expert
ment on costly scale. Quite irrespective of
public works programs. overhead and the
bookkeeping of production costs per kilowatt

significance to the race of mankind in its
attempt to tap the sources of energy in the

Of course, the Passa-
maquoddy Bay project
will trap only a very
small part of the tidal
energy in the Bay of
Fundy, but a very sig
nificant fraction,
nevertheless.
The geography of
Passamaquoddy Bay
makes it ideal for the
building of dams at
strategic points. These
dams will provide huge
reservoirs to be filled
and emptied by the
moon. The rise of the
tide in this locality is
about eighteen feet.
After the barrages
have been constructed,
turbines will be in

pouring through the
turbine generators will
create electricity as
long as the earth and

oceans continue to
