Tidal Power, made understandable through interactive 3D

I put together an interactive 3D model of a tidal power plant and recorded a real-time walkthrough to show how the system works below the surface. With the annotations turned on, you can follow each key part of the plant as you move through the scene -from the turbine housings to the intake channels and structural elements that anchor everything in place.

Tidal power is brilliant, but let’s be honest: most people have only seen a diagram or a simplified illustration. Seeing the full spatial layout, with callouts explaining what is what, makes the technology click instantly.

Why this matters: Interactive 3D is simply one of the best ways to explain complex engineering and renewable energy systems. It brings clarity to ideas that are usually hidden underwater or buried in technical drawings. And when you can guide people through the model step by step, they understand the concept and the engineering logic behind it in seconds.
