Ocean has huge energy which needs to be harnessed properly for its usage. Tidal power is the most predictable and reliable source, that is based on tried & tested principles of hydrodynamics and electrical engineering. Tides occur reliably and predictably, irrespective of weather changes. Ocean power energy can be created using tides and ocean current.
Tides help in production of tidal energy through tidal dams and tidal turbines. In case of tidal dams, power is created using a barrage at a bay or estuary with large tidal range. Tidal turbines take advantage of fast-flowing ocean currents to create energy. The most prolific tidal turbines are horizontal axis turbines that in many ways are analogous to wind turbines. The main difference is size. Tidal turbines generating 1 MW of power can be up to one-third the size of a wind turbine with a similar generating capacity. Ocean current also holds a great amount of strength and energy. The total power of waves breaking around the world's coastlines is estimated at 2-3 million megawatts, which can be captured directly from surface waves or from pressure fluctuations below the surface. |

Wouldn't you then be limiting a huge section of land because of the thousands of acres needed to make sufficient power?

THIS is your first post? Did you join just to spread the word of ocean power energy?
Way to make a first impression.

I still say spam. Maybe it doesn't have a "Buy this!" directly in it, but I refuse to click the link right in the middle of the post.

QUOTE (Supersprynt @ Mar 19, 2010 - 8:11 AM) Well according to jesus it's a conversation. It was, up until about third post, then it magically turned into weather this guy is spam or not. OBVIOUSLY this guy joined so that he could put out one post and then never come back again. According to Coomer's rules, however, you are supposed to respect any and everybody because this is a family oriented site and I at least gave a half-assed effort. **** why am I following rules that clearly no one else does. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner!
