Could you explain me how to generate using Tides?

Question

Need more details.

Answer 1

These work rather like a hydro-electric scheme, except that the dam is much bigger.

A huge dam (called a "barrage") is built across a river estuary. When the tide goes in and out, the water flows through tunnels in the dam.

The ebb and flow of the tides can be used to turn a turbine, or it can be used to push air through a pipe, which then turns a turbine. Large lock gates, like the ones used on canals, allow ships to pass.

If one was built across the Severn Estuary, the tides at Weston-super-Mare would not go out nearly as far - there'd be water to play in for most of the time.

But the Severn Estuary carries sewage and other wastes from many places (e.g. Bristol & Gloucester) out to sea. A tidal barrage would mean that this stuff would hang around Weston-super-Mare an awful lot longer! Also, if you're a wading bird that feeds on the exposed mud flats when the tide goes out, then you have a problem, because the tide won't be going out properly any more.

Answer 2

It is same way as form any moving water.

The equipment looks different and it is experimental only, it is very costly but it can be done.

The principal is same, the method is complex. Need to change the polarity from High tide to low tide, this can be done in few ways. Some change the polarity to get full advantage of the oscillation of water continuously.

Answer 3

You're in luck...I saw this story a couple of days ago.

It's basically windmill technology underwater.

Answer 4

It would logically consist of a float, a weight and a cable wrapped around a large generator shaft.

Answer 5

All You need tidies, generator, best with Hercules engine, put your self on and U will find out..
