Tide-Powered Flag

by @WaitWaitWha

A tide flag. As in, a mechanical device that turns a weather-vane-like flag that moves with the ebb and flow. It has to be powered by the tide, and must be able to withstand the elements. And, must look cool. Then, I will slap an ESP32 & z-wave on it :D secretly to feed my Home Assistant. :D
