Solar Power
Uses Photovoltaic cells that produce a small charge of elctricty when exposed to light.
7 of 10
Tidal Power
Uses the natural rise and fall in the level of water in an area.
8 of 10
Wave power
Uses turbine and genrator and uses the smaller differences in water levels that are caused by the wind
9 of 10
Hydrol-electric power
Uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir then released from the reservoir that flows through the turbine roatating it then the turbine activates a generator that generates electricity.
