Harnessing Tidal Power
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Tidal Wave Energy
From Home Security Blog
The Tidal wave energy is an alternative energy source that has been in use for decades. Tidal mills were constructed by people who used it to grind grain, and this was the first use of tidal energy for power in olden days. The Tidal power generation is a clean process.
Another alternate energy source is Solar Energy that is used for generating electricity, heating water and it is also used to create fuel for your vehicles. Most of the countries are promoting and encouraging the use of solar power by giving rebates and tax credits on the solar panels purchased by people.
The burning or decomposition of corn, corn stalks, wheat, twigs,pine cones or bark generated biomass energy.This energy is used as fuel to run the vehicles or produce heat at homes. Over 100 years back only such technology of energy generation was practised. The biodiesel fuels that are used to run the vehicles are ethanol or methane.
Today,the hydrogen energy is considered as the future generation of alternate source of energy because of its availability in abundance. One can idealize driving their vechiles on pure water. It has been done as a matter of fact. Our vechiles will have an electrolysis unit that will generate HHO,this increaes the gas mileage by over 20-50% with a low-budget of less than $100.
