Coal, oil and natural gas are used to generate electricity, but all are non-renewable energy sources. How about use water? Now take a look of there!
How to generate Tidal Power?
- Made a dam across a river(a barrage)
- with turbines
1. Water flows back through the turbines.
2. Generated when the turbines rotate
3.rotates(in the same direction)when the water column is both rising and falling to drive a generator to produce electricity
