Wave generating system

a technology of generating system and generating chamber, which is applied in the direction of wave producing pump, non-positive displacement fluid engine, non-positive displacement pump, etc., can solve the problem of inefficiency of releasing excess compressed air that produces inferior waves, small volume of pressurized air needed to achieve such effective operation in many embodiments, and inefficient release of excess compressed air, etc. problem, to achieve the effect of reducing or mitigating the effect of low pressure within the chamber

Abstract

An improved device for discharging water that is capable of efficiently generating an effective wave-like motion within a body of water. Wave generation devices based on water filled elongated tubular chambers having a substantially closed rear end and a substantially open front end and using compressed air to discharge water, such as the wave cannon, may experience operational inefficiencies from variations in quantities of compressed air. Reducing the quantity of compressed gas may result in ineffective waves and damage to the elongated tube as internal low pressure conditions collapse. A source of make-up fluid configured to mitigate internal low pressure conditions can enable effective wave generation with reduced quantities of compressed air.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 878,784, filed Jan. 6, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to a wave generating system. More particularly, the present invention is a wave cannon having improved efficiency and durability.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The wave cannon is a device described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,833,393 to Carnahan et al. ('393 patent), which is hereby incorporated by reference. The wave cannon generally relies on submerged, elongated chambers (e.g., tubes), which can be effectively or substantially open at one end and substantially closed at the other end.

[0004] The wave cannon can create waves by releasing bursts of pressurized air that force water out of the chamber and into a body of water. The expelled water is generally a discrete volume defined by the chamber. As the water is forced out of the cham...
