Tidal Energy - It Will Sweep You Away!

I have always been interested in tidal energy. How do waves make power? Does the most powerful wave create the most energy? I am going to write today about tidal energy, hopefully I can help you understand more about this too. Tidal energy comes from the ocean. Below is a picture that I found.

                                                  

I was very surprised that there would not be a massive wave in this picture. After researching this photo, I now understand that the machine in the water creates the tidal waves, and makes movement.... I guess you could also call this Kinetic Energy! This is a new term we learned yesterday, let me tell you more!
