Wave Making Apparatus

A wave making apparatus for use with a wave pool having water, the apparatus comprising:

• a wave making chamber having an interior and a plurality of chamber walls;
• a passageway connecting the interior to the wave pool and constructed to allow water to flow there between, wherein the passageway is at least partially submerged by the water in the pool;
• a water vane disposed of in or adjacent to the passageway, the wave comprising:
• at least one smooth and curved water vane wall;
• wherein the water vane and the plurality of chamber walls create at least two conduit paths for the water flowing between the interior to the wave pool;
• and
• wherein the conduit paths have two ends, and the water enters one end at a first direction and exits the second end at a second direction;
• wherein the water vane is mounted to at least one chamber wall, and the water vane position can be adjusted relative to the at least one chamber wall.

An improvement to a wave making apparatus for use with a wave pool having water and wherein the water creates a water surface in the pool, the apparatus comprising a wave making chamber having an interior and a plurality of chamber walls, and a passageway connecting the interior to the wave pool and constructed to allow water to flow there between, wherein the passageway is below the water surface, the improvement comprising:

• a water vane disposed of in or adjacent to the passageway, the wave vane comprising:
• at least one smooth and curved water vane wall;
• wherein the water vane and the plurality of chamber walls create at least two conduit paths for the water flowing between the interior to the wave pool;
• and
• wherein the conduit paths have two ends, and the water enters one end at a first directions and exits the second end at a second direction,
• wherein the water vane is constructed to mitigate the formation of eddy currents below the water surface as water flows from the chamber to the pool.
