TIDAL ENERGY BY JACK MCNEIRNEY PD: 7
OVERVIEW/HISTORY Not common One of the newest methods Discovered in 1966 Discovered by France. M. Jannaschii Plant in Kislaya Guba, Russia since 1968 Idea first used in 11thcentury
HOW IT WORKS Propeller-type turbines in water Can be strapped to buoys/floats Can be installed to ocean floor Propeller spins from flow of water Energy stored in generator Usually in groups (wave farms)
HOW IT WORKS (CONTINUED) Different mechanism, same purpose Can t be used close to land High tide water is let into basin Low tide water is let out and spins turbine
