When the tide is high. It intakes water. When the tide is low. It releases the water, spinning turbines, therefore creating power.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How does tidal electric power plant work?
A tidal electric power plant works by harnessing the energy from the natural rise and fall of ocean tides. Turbines are placed underwater and are turned by the movement of the tidal currents. This motion generates electricity that can be transmitted to the grid for use.
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.
How is tidal energy effective?
Tidal energy can work in only certain locations. A tidal generating station must be in an area where the difference between high and low tides is very large. This means the tidal waters will have a great deal of energy.
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.

How do you work out minute ventilation volume?
tidal volume x breathing rate
What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power

Conservation of tidal energy?
Perhaps you mean the use of such energy as a source of renewable energy? It is believed that the work of tidal power slows the rotation of the Earth, which can lead to negative environmental effects. However, given the enormous mass of the Earth influence of tidal power is negligible. The kinetic energy of rotation of the Earth (ten to the twenty-ninth degree of J) is so great that the work of the tidal stations with total capacity of 1,000 GW will increase the duration of the day only ten to the minus fourteenth degree seconds per year, which is 9 orders of magnitude less than the natural tidal braking (~ 2 × ten to the minus fifth degree with a year)
How does tidal fence work?

The fence captures the kinetic energy of the water flow and converts it into electrical energy using turbines or generators.

What is another name for tidal waves?
there is no other name for a tidal wave, just tidal wave
What is the differenCE between tidal and non-tidal?
Tidal zones are affected by the regular rise and fall of tides, while non-tidal zones do not experience this phenomenon. Tidal zones have distinctive marine life adapted to tidal fluctuations, while non-tidal zones have a more stable environment. Tidal zones may have higher biodiversity due to the constant mixing of nutrients and oxygen brought by the tides.
How does tidal fuel work?
Wave or tidal energy is a great, environmentally friendly means of generating energy. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power tidal energy is the best energy to use BUT there are a lot of con's to this source also so if you use this be generate of it.
