How do we use tidal energy in stuff?

Best Answers

Like a dam on a river for hydroelectric energy, only an extra step is involved. Rather than a river filling the dam with water, gates are opened with tidal systems when the tide is higher than the water behind the dam …to let water in. read more

Similar to nuclear energy stored in hydroelectric reservoir (artificial lake) batteries above a body of water where water is pumped up into the reservoir at lowest use cheapest times and processed through hydroelectric generators/alternators at highest use most/more expensive times where instead with Tidal Power Stations the water is filled during high tide kind of like open locks used for shipping and then the locks are closed before the highest tide point goes down. read more

Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy. During the 20th century, engineers developed ways to use tidal movement to generate electricity in areas where there is a significant tidal range—the difference in area between high tide and low tide. All methods use special generators to convert tidal energy into electricity. read more
