A chamber 2 is attached to the seabed and used for tidal power generation. During the flood tide, sea water enters the chamber through a one-way valve 1, compressing the air in the chamber. The compressed air drives a turbine 5, controlled by valve 3. During the ebb tide, water can be allowed to leave the chamber via outlet valve 4. Several chambers 2 can be attached to each other at the same location, and may be recovered to the shore for maintenance. |
