Bruno Tideman

Bruno Joannes Tideman (1834-1883) was a naval engineer in the Netherlands,[1][2] who acted as consultant to the ship building industry. In 1873 he designed a new type of engine that enable ships to gain significant speed, which at the time was considered a revolutionary innovation.[3][4]

The work of Bruno Tideman has been continued by The Maritime Research Institute Netherlands, which was founded in 1929 as the Netherlands Ship Model Basin (NSMB) by the Dutch government and industry. Work was started in 1932, following completion of the deep water towing tank.

A descendant, also Bruno Tideman, founded a new boatbuilding company Tideman Boats in 2006.[5]
