How does tidal movement produce energy?
Tidal movement produces energy when tidal generators are placed in areas where the movement of the tide is dramatic. This movement causes the turbines in the generators to turn and produces motor movement.
A dam constructed to produce tidal power does so by?
harnessing water flow to drive turbines and electric generators
How does tidal fence work?
A tidal fence is a barrier built across a tidal channel or river to harness the energy of the flowing tide. The fence captures the kinetic energy of the water flow and converts it into electrical energy using turbines or generators. As the tide flows in and out, the movement of the water spins the turbines to generate electricity.
What are some examples of tidal energy being used?
Tidal energy is being used in various ways, including generating electricity through tidal power plants, supporting marine research with autonomous tidal energy platforms, and powering small-scale devices like buoys and tidal stream turbines. Additionally, some countries have implemented tidal energy technologies to contribute to their renewable energy goals.
What machines rely on tidal power to work?
Machines such as flour mills used to rely on the moving water of the river to work. Now most milling is powered by electricity, which can be obtained from a variety of sources, including renewable tidal energy.

What is the parts of tidal electricity?
The process of harnessing energy from the ocean's tide is very similar to that of harnessing water through a hydroelectric dam. As the turbines turn they create energy. This happens both as the tide comes in and as the tide goes out. The turbines' energy is then routed to storage generators and sent out through power lines to feed the power needs of the community.

Which type of renewable or inexhasable resource do you thingk would work well in your area?
Electricity generators driven by tidal-flow turbines. (I live on the South coast of England.)

What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
How does a tidal stream generator work?
Tidal Turbines work when the tide goes in and out. The force from the movement of the water spins the turbines.
What are the different types of energy you get from the Sea?
Wave action and tidal movement are two sources of possible energy if harnessed by turbines and floats, etc, connected to a bank of electrical generators.
What is tidal fence?
A tidal fence is a type of barrier or structure placed in the ocean to capture and harness the energy from tidal currents. It typically consists of turbines or generators that are turned by the movement of water, converting that energy into electricity. Tidal fences can be a renewable energy source that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
How does tidal wave produce electricity?
A tidal wave is too violent and unpredictable to use for electricity generation. They are also far too rare. Ordinary tides on the other hand are totally predictable and should be a great idea for renewable energy. The idea is to build a barrier across where the tide goes in and out, preferably in an estuary where the flow is strong. In the barrier are turbines which are connected to generators. As the tide goes in or out, it turns the turbines to drive the generators, producing electricity. The problem is that they are very expensive to build, and permanent barrages disrupt shipping and affect wildlife.
