Like solar radiation, the ocean is another widely available and distributed energy source. The energy in the ocean is in part kinetic energy in the form of tides, currents, and waves, and part thermal energy from the sun stored as heat. The quantity of energy stored in the ocean is enormous but can be quite diffuse; in some cases, it is about the same as from solar radiation and, as a result, it is difficult to harness. Marine energy systems can be classified into four main groups: (more…)

Water power sources is an interesting source of energy. It is available freely in nature. The constant flow of water can guarantee the availability of energy. Water power take it sources of energy from the motion of water. The motion of water is happening in river, sea and water fall. This movement can be derived from two resources:
1. Flows of water streams, this is attracted by earth gravity force
2. Tides which are the rise and fall of sea level by moon and sun gravity force (more…)
