Abstract
A pool wave generator has a pool area and a plurality of chambers for generating a wave in the pool area. The plurality of chambers may be separated from an edge of the pool to create a gap there between. Positioned below the gap may be a passage to fluidly coupled the chamber to the pool. The gap may permit spectators or the storage of controllers, blowers, pumps, or other components and/or equipment of the pool wave generator. The pool wave generator may also include a pool floor and/or pool edge for influencing a wave profile or wave characteristics and/or for creating different wave zones.
Claims26
A pool wave generator, comprising:
- a pool area;
- a plurality of chambers on one side of the pool area for releasing water into the pool area to generate a wave in the pool area;
- and
- a gap defined between the pool area and the plurality of chambers, the gap comprising a floor for supporting a spectator outside of the pool area, and wherein the gap is not in fluid communication with the pool area or the plurality of chambers.
A pool wave generator, comprising:
- a pool area, the pool area defining a first wave zone, a second wave zone, and a third wave zone;
- a chamber for retaining and releasing water into the pool area to generate a wave in the pool area;
- wherein a height of the wave is different in each of the first wave zone, the second wave zone, and the third wave zone, such that each of the first wave zone, the second wave zone, and the third wave zone are configured to accommodate surfers of different experience levels.
A pool wave generator, comprising:
- a pool for retaining water within a pool area for simulating a wave environment, the pool defining a pool floor, the pool floor defining at least one curved contoured area;
- and
- a plurality of chambers on one side of the pool area for releasing water into the pool area to generate a wave in the pool area.
A pool wave generator, comprising:
- a pool area;
- a wall for retaining water within the pool area for influencing waves, currents, water propagation, or combinations thereof within the pool area;
- and
- a plurality of chambers on one side of the pool area for releasing water into the pool area to generate a wave in the pool area;
- wherein the wall includes a linear wall portion extending from the plurality of chambers and a curved shore wall portion distal to the plurality of chambers.
