Bay of Fundy

[carmium]

You can who the newcomers are; their boats dangle from short lines tied to the pier!

[TheTecstudios]

Hi mr vosters

[MegaPointlessFilms]

My mum went to that place and she was playing at a cave nearby in low tide, then 5 minutes later...... BAM! she turned around and the water was creeping towards her pretty fast and she didnt know how to swim,. She said it was one of the scariest things she has ever seen!

[EdgoIsGo]

i biked from my house to there!

[hackajim]

imagine getting shot out to sea by the undertow... .OUCH. are you suggesting that these environments can be DESIGNED and trenched so that the moon does this to the coast line all over the place? like an entire coast of these trenches? with electric generators attached?

[xoxCRISTYxox]

This is badass!(:

[blunklaura]

Amazing!

It looks soooo amazing there !

[dotsygirl101]

wow; i;m gonig on a crusie to fundy i'm kind of scared hehe.

[phredmac]

@dotsygirl101 Shouldn't have any trouble if you're a good swimmer.

[dotsygirl101]

@phredmac what does that imply.....; ^-^

[Paulmanorbier]

It's a great video to watch

[blacklightsight]

Is this in Halls Harbour?

[phredmac]

This is Hall Harbour.

[TrandomnesstwO]

I have JUST heard about 15 seconds ago on the news that the Bay Of Fundy is in the running of the being one of the 7 wonders of the world.

[ZeroIsMany]

@TrandomnesstwO Actually one of the 7 wonders of nature.

[DamperenDK]

i so much want to go there !

[tomizzo11]

That's crazy.

[blackfrancis55]

if you want me to generate tides, you had better make a better video. god.

[phredmac]

I am not God nor do I want you to generate tides.

[youR3tard]

haha wtf?

[TPSJayy]

Are you dumb, this is perfectly fine. You high standard dick's go suck yourself.

[bassemmorris]

The wonderful Fundy Bay is the perfect candidate place for applying new Aero-Aqueous multi purpose renewable power station design, specially at the neck of bight Minas basin where the bay narrows to almost 4-7 Kms in the distance starting from Cape split and up to 8 Kms east of it.

North to south consecutive arrays of floating submersed wheels could be placed in such area to help catch high tidal energy plus bridging the two bay sides.

[ScottStorch17]

haha thas neat

i wanna visit that place

[FuentesSantos]

My Geo. teacher was talking about this place today. So cool!

[54spiritedwill54]

the lapse is pretty cool.

[indiana9947]

can some1 tell me wer exzactly in canada the bay of fundy is located[geography project] thanks!

[phredmac]

If you are in the United States go north-east to Maine and turn right. The body of water that separates Maine and New Brunswick from Nova Scotia is The Bay of Fundy.

[sunbabie101]

If I am not mistaken, I believe this is Halls Harbour, on the bay of Fundy side of the North Mountain, I have family down in Harbourville.

[phredmac]

You're absolutely right. If you go to "Bay of Fundy 2" you'll see the tides from several locations around the area.

[irishtimothy]

The Bay of Fundy's tide is equivalent to the power of all the rivers in the world combined - the earths crust bends as this tide comes in. Enough power to light up millions of homes - I know, I live here.

[Spenvo]

Well, I guess that depends on how large the Bay of Fundy is and how much water is displaced every day. I would venture to say that, assuming the geographical layout of the bay was capable of being manipulated by dikes and levees, one could extract a very meaningful amount of energy from this location. Remember, you don't have to produce 100 megawatts to make a difference. The cost versus benefit of a setup like this might be fairly unfavorable--but sustainable nonetheless.

[Spenvo]

Why does the poster of this video advocate that any future hydroelectric energy created produce Hydrogen? Could it not be fed more efficiently to a Plug-In Toyota Prius (or equivalent) via the electrical grid? By promoting complicated technologies that lack infrastructure you destroy the public's sense of trust. Biofuels are also not the answer and government subsidization of ethanol-producing crops is contributing to the world food shortage. Don't buy everything you hear.

[radicaledwards]

That is a great idea for environmentally-sound energy sources, did you think of that, phredmac?

[robinoi]

it's not funny

SHARKS COME IN AND EAT CHILDREN

[Kyzersawsay]

I saw this on National Geographic! :D

[phredmac]

What program?

[ooglebydoogleby]

love it ime only aware of the bay of fundy because of the joni mitchel lyric.  just had to check it out sory for being obtuse koyote.

[phredmac]

I wasn't aware of the Joni Mitchell Lyric - thanks.

"He's too far from the Bay of Fundy

From Appaloosas and Eagles and tides"

[ooglebydoogleby]

the album is in my tops list i can only asume joni is talking of places near where she lives although i have no idea where the bay of fundy is i would apresiate enlightenement. all the best.

[phredmac]

Eastern Canada - separates Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

If you're in the US, follow the coast north from Maine, its all Bay of Fundy.

Not sure what Joni Mitchell's connection is.

[ooglebydoogleby]

thnk you

[nuhcoleeeeex]

fundy is a super cool word. (:

[spotthatby]

the music kills it, sounds too much like creepy 80s elevator music.

anyways, the lapse is pretty cool.

[katieraemcgee]

Hi! Im from southern NB and of course I see this all day but its cool to see it speed up like that!

[phredmac]

Thanks for the note - where are you located?

[katieraemcgee]

Very close to the border to maine. charlotte county area

[snowfall7]

Captures the power and might of tidal force! Good job in illustrating the power of tides we all live with along the coastal estuaries.

[phredmac]

Thanks for your note - where are you located?

[snowfall7]

Located in Burlington Vermont USA - sometimes called the west coast of New England! Not much tides here but traveled to Nova Scotia and was intreged by the Bay of Fundy. Your videos last "bare bottom" part was great but it looked like it was getting dark.

[phredmac]

The video is at Hall's Harbour and I'll be updating it this summer, in better quality, and hopefully nearer the middle of the day. Its kind of like fishing - not knowing just what you have till you get home to view it.

[damastermind26]

thats wicked
