How they worksTidal power involves a dam across the

opening to a tidal basin. A sluice opens that allows the tide to flow

into the basin. As the sea levels drop, the water moves and

turns a turbine to generate electricity

AdvantagesSome tidal generators can be built into

the structures of existing bridges, involving virtually no problems on how it looks

DisadvantagesThe turbines can accidentally kill

swimming sea life with there rotating blades

Salt water causes corrosion in metal parts
