A dam constructed to produce tidal power does so by?
harnessing water flow to drive turbines and electric generators
Who discovered tidal energy?
No one knows for sure because it dates all the way day to 900 AD, when the use tidal power was typically used for grinding grains into flour.
Does tidal power have any accidents?
what accidents may occur with tidal power
Does Australia use tidal power?
No, and there are no proposals for tidal power in Australia. For more information on the status of tidal power in Australia, see the related link.
Is tidal power a viable choice for Newark?
is tidal power viable choice for newark
A dam constructed to produce tidal power does so by?

Is tidal power practical to use everywhere?
No, tidal power needs a large bay or river mouth with a narrow outlet to the sea, so the movement of water there is fast and strong.
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.
Could tidal power keep the moon in perpetual motion as well as generating surplus power for use on Earth?
Tidal power is caused by the moon (largely). Tidal power has no effect on the moon.Yes, tidal power, if it is harnessed properly by wave motion machines, dams and barrages, has enough power to generate all the Earth's electricity needs. However, this power is difficult to capture. Dams and river barrages are large and cause some damage to the environment and obstruction to river travel.Various experiments are underway trying to find suitable ways of harnessing the power of tides and ocean waves. No one has discovered a cheap and easy way to do it yet.
Is tidal electricity expesnive?
At present, it is not practical.
How tidal energy is generated?
turbines are placed under the sea in areas which have high tidal movement. these turbines are designed to capture the energy produced by the tidal movement and is then transformed into electricity. The tide moves a huge amount of water twice each day, and harnessing it could provide a great deal of energy - around 20% of Britain's needs. Although the energy supply is reliable and plentiful, converting it into useful electrical power is not easy. There are eight main sites around Britain where tidal power stations could usefully be built, including the Severn, Dee, Solway and Humber estuaries. Only around 20 sites in the world have been identified as possible tidal power stations. A few years ago, "tidal power" meant "tidal barrage".

Where is the world first tidal power plant?
The largest tidal power station in the world is the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station. It is located in South Korea.
What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
