Machines and structures that capture the energy of tides, including tidal barrages, tidal lagoons, tidal stream generators, dynamic tidal power, tidal mills and the Aquanator. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes harnessing tidal power. These structures and machines draw on the regular rise and fall of the tide or on the current it creates, and range from ancient mills to modern tidal stream generators. A technology is placed here when the cited article describes harnessing tidal power.

A tidal stream generator, often referred to as a tidal energy converter (TEC), is a machine that extracts energy from moving masses of water, in particular tides, although the term is often used in reference to machines designed to extract energy from the run of a river or tidal estuarine sites.

A tidal barrage is a dam-like structure used to capture the energy from masses of water moving in and out of a bay or river due to tidal forces.

Dynamic tidal power or DTP is an untried but promising technology for tidal power generation.
Wikipedia: Aquanator
Has Member: Aquanator, LeadQuote, Has Member: Aquanator, Lead
The Aquanator was a small-scale tidal-power device, a device which uses rows of hydrofoils to generate electricity from water currents.
Tide mill - Wikipedia
Has Member: Tide Mill, LeadQuote, Has Member: Tide Mill, Lead
A tide mill is a water mill driven by tidal rise and fall.
Wikipedia: Shrouded tidal turbine
Has Member: Shrouded Tidal Turbine, LeadQuote, Has Member: Shrouded Tidal Turbine, Lead
The shrouded tidal turbine is an emerging tidal stream technology that has a turbine enclosed in a venturi shaped shroud or duct (ventuduct), producing a sub atmosphere of low pressure behind the turbine.
Marine current power - Wikipedia

Marine currents can carry large amounts of water, largely driven by the tides, which are a consequence of the gravitational effects of the planetary motion of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun.
