Abstract

1. 1. The power possibilities for the Bay of Fundy and Passamaquoddy Bay are indicated by the available energy as follows: 1.1. ( a) Bay of Fundy 175,000,000 horse power. 1.2. ( b) Passamaquoddy Bay 2,500,000 horse power. 2. 2. The tidal phenomenon of the Bay of Fundy is of the stationary wave type. The combined action of this stationary wave and a progressive wave coupled with the physical features of the bay are responsible for the phenomenally large tides in the Bay of Fundy. 3. 3. The stationary wave oscillations of the Bay of Fundy are not transmitted to Passamaquoddy Bay. 4. 4. Closing off Passamaquoddy Bay will not effect the natural period of oscillation of the waters of the Bay of Fundy. 5. 5. Closing off Passamaquoddy Bay will result in additional energy being reserved to the Bay of Fundy and bring about increased tidal amplitudes.
