Ocean, Tidal and Wave Energy: Power from the SeaCrabtree Publishing Company, 2008 - 32 pàgines The natural movement of water has long been used to create energy. New forms of hydropower are being researched as alternative ways to create clean renewable energy. This remarkable new book describes how water flow is being used in tidal and wave energy farms, and how the oceans contain enough heat in the surface water to power the world! Case studies highlight the potential advantages and disadvantages of pursuing these different kinds of power.Teacher's guide available. |
