Tidal+and+Wave++Energy

Tidal Power: Every day, due to the moons gravitational pull, large amounts of water are moved in different directions. This movement, if captured, could harness a fairly large amount of energy. This technology works in two main ways.

This type of energy generator works by the movement of large turbines underwater. The tide moves in and out and as the tide moves it pushes the turbines. These type of formations are usually placed at the mouth of rivers of inlets to get maximum energy from crashing waves and the like.



This type of tidal energy works basically as an underwater wind turbine. The movements of the tided push the turbines around and around and generate energy.
