This ocean energy is found all over the world. 70% of the ocean surface is covered with water. According to the alternative energy news website “Ocean energy is harvested when the wave energy farm runs on wave energy that is created when a float/buoy slides with the natural motion of the waves.” The equipment needed is a very large floating buoy, a long, reliable line, and a lot of weight so that the buoy doesn't float away and ruin your search. “The concept is simple,” explains John Lienhard, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Houston: “Every day the moon's gravitational pull lifts countless tons of water, for example, into the East River or the Bay of Fundy. When the water returns to the sea, its energy dissipates and, if we don't use it, it is simply used up." The stronger the waves, the more energy can be drawn from them to power our world. We as human beings use and waste this energy doing our daily work. Yes, you need special equipment to process ocean wave energy, the main thing you need is a floating buoy to throw into the ocean and weigh it down with a solid weight, so you don't lose almost 3 million dollars. Our Energy Sources are formed when tidal energy is produced through the use of generators in the ocean. Generators are large underwater turbines placed in areas with maximum tidal energy. The turbines' job is to absorb the kinetic motion of the ocean's tidal retreat and flow (shallow water) to obtain electricity. Tidal turbines are best used for shallow water, because they are stronger and more stable than launching in the ocean where you would have to check them every day in near-deadly weather. They help because the turbines rotate slowly, so passing ships and aircraft...... middle of paper ......fuel and continuous operation account for more than 80% of the plant's energy cost. The greater availability of wave energy in areas means that devices will be able to absorb more energy and convert it into energy at a faster rate than devices in areas with low wave energy density. Ocean energy technologies will initially live in areas with wave energy density.” As you read this excerpt from the website, what are your opinions. Government-funded early-stage prototype. We can conserve ocean energy by not polluting the ocean and by saving energy (using less lights and electricity). We can also conserve other natural energies. Ways to save energy would be: walking, cycling, carpooling, using public transport. You can turn down the refrigerator, wash clothes in hot or cold water, turn down the water heater and the most important thing we can do is reduce, reuse, recycle.
