Wind Energy A turbine is machine that spins arounds catching energy that’s passing by. The huge rotor blades (propellers) on the front of a wind turbine are the "turbine" part. As wind passes by‚ the kinetic energy (energy of movement) it contains makes the blades spin around (usually quite slowly). The blades have a special curved shape so they capture as much energy from the wind as possible. Although we talk about "wind turbines‚" the turbine is only one of the three main

created though tidal generators is generally more environmentally friendly and causes less impact on established ecosystems. Similar to a wind turbine‚ many tidal stream generators rotate underwater and is driven by the swiftly moving dense water. Although not yet widely used‚ tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically‚ tide mills have been used‚ both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of the USA. The earliest occurrences

Tidal power has great potential for future power and present energy consumption because of the massive size of our oceans. Using a combination of dams‚ fences‚ and turbines‚ many countries are utilizing the almost untapped resources of inexhaustible tidal power. Created due to the gravitational forces of the moon‚ the tides of the day are highly predictable and can be used incredibly efficiently. This type of energy
