AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system provides consistent surfable waves, improves energy transfer efficiency, simplifies design, and reduces installation costs, making it suitable for both recreational and competitive surfing while being adaptable for various settings.

Problems solved by technology

Though wave generating systems are promising as a technique for generating uniform waves for a user, their use has been hampered by the lack of ability to provide wave generating systems that generate consistent waves, inefficiency in transferring energy to the wave, complexity of design of the pool and foils used to generate wave, and a high cost of installation.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a modular wave generating system 1. The components of the system include a pool 2 that has a trough 3 on one side of the pool, and a side gutter 4 on the opposite side of the pool. The gutter may also be provided on the ends of the pool. The pool has a stage area 5 between the trough and the side gutter. (The “stage area” refers to that area of the pool in which surfable waves appear during use.) The pool has opposing long sides along the y-axis. The pool also has opposing end walls along the ends of the pool, generally parallel to the width of the pool (the x-axis) and a bottom surface. The pool also includes a first side wall that defines a first side of the pool and a second side wall that defines a second side of the pool. The trough and the gutter are disposed on opposite long sides of the pool, generally parallel to the length of the pool and the direction in which the wave travels (the y-axis). A plow 6 is disposed within the trough 3, lo...

Abstract

A wave generating system.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15 / 965,607, filed Apr. 27, 2018, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,407,927.FIELD OF THE INVENTIONSBackground of the Inventions[0002]Wave generator systems are used to create desired wave forms for surfers. The process may be used to create waves for competition or merely user enjoyment. The ability to generate consistent waves is advantageous to surfers so that they do not have to wait for a particular wave according to an ocean surfing protocol. In addition, a wave generating system capable of producing consistent waves can be used for surfing competitions, because it can ensure all surfers are afforded the opportunity to ride identical waves to normalize competition.[0003]Though wave generating systems are promising as a technique for generating uniform waves for a user, their use has been hampered by the lack of ability to provide wave generating systems that generate consistent waves, inefficiency in transferring energy to...
