Abstract

For over 150 years the tides in the Amazon estuary were used to power sugar cane mills. Considering this successful use of tidal energy in the past, we are proposing a system to use it in the present, to generate electricity on a small scale for thousands of rural residents of the estuary, who have no prospect of being tied to the regional power grid.
