Founded in 1170, the Woodbridge Tidal Mill has been using tidal energy to mill grain since the medieval era. It uses a dam to capture water when the tide is high. As the tide ebbs the water is released through a sluice, which pushes a water wheel, which turns the grinding stones. Tidal energy is a renewable and sustainable source of energy. Tidal power has great potential because water is such a potent power source. It is nearly 1,000 times denser than air, so the energy is far more concentrated and tides have the advantage of being predictable.
