Tide-Predicting Machine No. 2, often referred to as Tidenaut, is a pioneering mechanical device developed in the early 20th century to predict tidal movements. Designed by the American engineer and inventor Thomas M. S. Hodges, this machine was one of the early attempts to model the complex ebb and flow of tides based on various astronomical factors.
