Turbines are inserted into tidal streams with most tidal energy generators. A tidal stream is a body of water formed by tides that is fast-flowing. In shallow water, turbines are the most powerful. A large dam called a barrage is used by another sort of tidal energy generator. Water will spill over the top or by turbines in the dam with a barrage because the dam is tiny. The tidal energy generator's final form includes the creation of tidal lagoons. The tidal energy generator's final form includes the creation of tidal lagoons. A tidal lagoon is a pool of salt water partially surrounded by a membrane that is natural or manmade. Tidal lagoons can also be estuaries which have freshwater emptying into them, although there is likely to be poor energy production from turbines using tidal lagoons.]]> 2021-02-18 14:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tlomelin/25logfajfu6ji85v/wish/1215341637 Advantages a01571356 https://padlet.com/tlomelin/25logfajfu6ji85v/wish/1215341714 Wind power is effective
