How can the moving water of ocean waves and tides be used to generate electricity?

Tides:
- Find a place with a good difference between low and high tide.
- build a dam that'll be empty at the low tide mark and full at the high tide mark
- put a turbine in the dam wall
- when the tide goes up, it'll flow in through the turbine and make electricity as it fills the dam
- when the tide goes out, it'll flow out through the turbine making electricity as the dam is drained
Waves:
- waves make things on the surface bob up & down
- build something to turn that up & down into a movement that can turn a generator
- stick it out into the ocean.

Application of ocean tides?
generate electricity
Where are ocean tides being used in Europe to generate electricity?
Maybe
A scientist who investigates how to generate electricity from the ocean's tides would most likely study?
meteorology
What apparatus are needed to generate hydro-electricity?
Moving water (dams, rivers, tides) and turbines (like an electric motor in reverse) that will produce electricity when the moving water spins them round.
How Does Water Turbine Generate Electricity From Tides?
eat me.
What is the use energy from tides?
Tidal energy is captured by using turbines. When the tide comes in or out the moving water spins turbines that generate energy or electricity.
How do tides help us?
Tidal energy can be used to generate electricity.
How can wind flowing water and tides be used to produce electricity?
They can all be used to spin turbines that will generate electricity.
What are all the ocean and sea waves?
waves are moving tides that a caused by wind, which the tides go bigger while moving
What can be used twice a day to make electricity?
ocean tides
What renewable energy which can be used to generate electricity?
Solar powerWater power (dams, rivers, tides, waves)Wind powerGeothermal power (the heat under the ground)Ocean thermal power (the change of temperature deep in the ocean)
What is a tidle turbine?
Should be spelled "tidal". It is a mechanical device that converts the energy from tides (ocean tides) into electricity.
