Tidal disruption

Hey guys we have a little activity going on at school which requires us to write an essay for some topics and i chose tidal disruption. However my intructor told me that i can focus on the empirical values of the event which is very confusing. It indeed is a great perspective to look at the problem and brings a new sight. But i sincerely wonder what are the uses of the phenomenon. Probably a new energy resource? I remember watching it on the channel of ‘in a nut shell’ but still i just don’t know what to write about THE TOPIC!!! I NEED IDEAS GUYS heeeeeeeeelp.

oh sorry typo: instructor
