CCC VII : Technological Advance : Tide Mill

Post by 74louloute »

Hello !
This my entry for the Technological Advance Category :

Tide Mill

Image Image Image

The tide mill is a medieval invention. It's a water mill build on sea shore. It's works with the effect of the tidal energy.

As the tide comes in, it enters the mill pond through a one way gate, and this gate closes automatically when the tide begins to fall. When the tide is low enough, the stored water can be released to turn a water wheel.

Thanks for watching ! :)

Nice moc! These are some highly advanced people, that's for sure. Great job on the sea birds and the small turret of the building. I also like the use of the trunk lids in the water wheel section.

Yes, using the trunk lids is a very nice touch! The birds are also very well done and nicely placed.
