A generator that produces electric energy from the motion of the tidal current.
Note: Such generators may be actuated by the pressure of a head of water built up behind a barrage, or by direct conversion of the energy of tidal flow. In the latter case, the term tidal stream rotor is also used.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
