Dr Luke Myers is a Lecturer from the Department for Engineering and the Environment at Southampton University and will be talking about "Tidal Power".

His research is specifically about free stream tidal energy (much like wind turbines, but underwater) which is challenging especially when water, mechanical components and electricity are involved. What problems have to be overcome to produce effective Tidal Power?

Venue
The Regency Suite is above the Conservative Club in Shanklin in Palmerston Road just off the High Street.

The nearest car parks are in Landguard Road and Orchardleigh Road, both only two or three minutes walk to the Conservative Club. Parking is free after 6pm.

As we have to pay a rent for the facilities, we have to ask for a donation of at least £3 on the door to make sure we cover all our expenses. i.e. the rent, cost of speakers' travel expenses and a meal, plus overnight accommodation if needed.
