	Tide mill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tide mill is a specialist type of water mill driven by tidal rise and fall.
		Tide mills are usually situated in river estuaries, away from the effects of waves but close enough to the sea to have a reasonable tidal range.
		Unlike historical tide mills which could only operate on an ebb tide, the Rance barrage can generate electricity on both flows of the tide or it can be used for pumped storage depending on demand.

	Watermill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oldest of these were horizontal mills in which the force of the water, striking a simple paddle wheel set horizontally in line with the flow turned a runner stone balanced on a shaft leading directly up from the wheel.
		The problem with this type of mill arose from the lack of gearing; the speed of the water directly set the maximum speed of the runner stone which, in turn, set the rate of milling.
		This allowed the mill designers to employ a large mill wheel set perpendicular to the mill race (this is the type of water wheel we generally think of when we imagine a water mill).

	CHAPTER 6. TIDE MILLS
		The old mill stands open alike to the stranger and the old neighbor with a grist to grind, and since it has been doing business continuously for one hundred and eighty-six years it may well be taken as an example of the best of the old tide mills in America.
		Mill and miller, the former grown ancestor and now numbering its days, the latter still vigorous and loving his days, seem to have been playing upon each other through the years, just as the floating meal dust has been softening the lines of the great mill rooms and tinting them in gold.
		Another New England tide mill of an early date, said to be 1715, is the one which still stands on Southport Harbor, Connecticut, but instead of grinding flour for bread it is now dispensing the bread itself to all and sundry under a tavern sign board which bears the honorable name of the old mill.
