What is a crucial characteristic of turbines in tidal generators?

The blades should turn in two directions.


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.


What are some examples of tidal energy being used?

tidal energy is used to turn turbines which drive generators to produce electricity


A dam constructed to produce tidal power does so by?

harnessing water flow to drive turbines and electric generators


Tidal power how the energy source is turned into usable energy?

Large underwater turbines are placed in areas where tidal forces are high. Here they capture the energy produced by tidal motions to turn generators and produce electricity.


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.)


How can tidal energy be conserved?

Tidal Energy can be conserved by using offshore turbines rather than underwater turbines.


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 is the history of tidal energy?

tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power


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.


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.


How many tidal turbines are there in the world?

5698 but the are all in England
