2. The Difference

3. Wave power devices take energy directly from surface waves or from pressure fluctuations below the surface. Some analysts believe there is enough energy in the ocean waves to provide up to 2 terawatts of electricity. Wave power is of course powered by waves as a wave goes by the buoy rotates and makes its mechanical energy into electrical energy. Tidal power is powered by a turbine under water that spins making the mechanical energy to electrical through a generator that send the electrical energy to peoples home stores schools and small businesses. When tides comes into the shore, they can be trapped in reservoirs behind dams. Then when the tide drops, the water behind the dam can be let out just like in a regular hydroelectric power plant. moving waves of the ocean. That energy can be used to power a turbine. The biggest difference is one is on the water and the other is under Differences

4. Tidal Power and How it works Tidal power is under water when a wave rises into a chamber. The rising water forces the air out of the chamber. The moving air spins a turbine which can turn a generator. The turbines spinning are mechanical energy the generator turns that mechanical energy into electrical energy. Which goes to schools houses and smalls businesses.

6. Wave Power and How it works Wave power is using the power of waves to make energy. Wave energy is powered by waves by spinning buoys that spins from the mechanical force of the waves pushing the buoys in a rotating motion making energy from a electrical shaft that’s being rotated by a electric coil inside the rotating buoy is what makes the energy which goes to houses small businesses and schools
