Wave pool

A system for generating waves in a body of water, said body of water comprising a water volume enclosed by an enclosure including a bottom/floor, said water volume characterized by a surface and a bottom/floor, said system comprising:

• a plurality of chamber assemblies disposed at least partially below the surface of the water volume, said plurality of chamber assemblies aligned along a length of the body of water, wherein each of the chamber assemblies comprises:
• a first chamber having a first portion disposed at least partially below the surface of the water volume and extending below the bottom/floor of the enclosure, with a bottom of the first portion disposed below the surface of the water volume and a top of the first portion above the bottom of the first portion;
• an aperture proximate the bottom of the first portion, establishing a flow path from the water volume into the first portion;
• a vent proximate the top of the first portion, said vent is operable to open to allow air to escape from the first portion, thereby allowing water to flow through the aperture, from the enclosure and into the first portion;
• an air supply in fluid communication with the first portion, said air supply operable to inject air into the first portion to force water in the first portion out of the first portion and through the aperture and into the enclosure;
• a second chamber proximate the first portion of the first chamber;
• wherein said second chamber extends below the bottom/floor of the enclosure;
• and
• wherein said vent is operable to open to allow air to escape from the first portion and into the second chamber;
• and wherein the air supply is located within the second chamber;
• and
• an exhaust chimney;
• wherein the exhaust chimney is connected through a wall of the second chamber and extends outwardly therefrom and above said body of water to ambient atmosphere, such that air can pass from the first chamber, into the second chamber, and out into the ambient atmosphere;
• and
• a control system operable to control the vent of each of the chamber assemblies to open and close the vent of each of the chamber assemblies;
• said control system is configured to control the vent and air supply of each chamber from an initial condition in which the first portion of each of the chamber assemblies is filled with air such that the surface of the water level in each first portion is below the surface of the water volume, to create a wave by first opening the vent of each chamber assembly in sequence.
