When speaking about the ocean’s tide, you really don’t understand just how strong the tides are and the sort of power they posses. Tidal power is considered to be one of the best storehouses of energy. Tides have a great potential to provide electricity for future generations. With this same idea in mind, an industrial design unveiled a sustainable lighting system. This system makes use of the flow of tidal river, converting it into electricity. This is very similar to turbines I would think. The flow of the tide then illuminates the quayside of River Suir with renewable energy. The Flowlight features an outer shell of carbon fiber and water turbine blades, protected by a sub-floatation housing unit in order to shield the blades from a rock-strewn river bed. Designed to operate both clockwise and counter-clockwise depending on the river’s flow The water turbine blade’s will generate power during high and low tide. My only concern would be what happens during slack tide. This cool invention serves as an excellent way to illuminate an LED strip the moment daylight fades away into nightime!
