Abstract
The present invention relates to a removable artificial reef and barrier system capable of mitigating detrimental wave and current energy and erosion problems, enhancing biological growth and marine aquaculture, increasing carbon sequestration, providing power generation, and enhancing favorable surf conditions for recreational use.
Claims20
A removable artificial reef and barrier system, comprising:
- a wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system in the form of a coil, the wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system including a plurality of spaced dissipater barrier legs that are spaced at a distance to achieve wave and current energy dissipation, wherein the wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system is composed of strands of material spaced about a central axis so as to define the plurality of dissipater barrier legs.
A method for wave and current energy dissipation, comprising:
- continuously forming at least one wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system and barrier system;
- positioning the at least one wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system within a marine environment at a position to achieve wave and current energy dissipation, the wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system including a plurality of spaced dissipater barrier legs that are spaced at a distance to achieve wave and current energy dissipation, wherein the wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system is composed of strands of material spaced about a central axis so as to define the plurality of dissipater barrier legs.
A rolling machine used in fabrication of a wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system, comprising:
- a rotating roller support upon which is mounted at least one roll forming assembly that rotates with the rotating roller support;
- a rotating shaft upon which the rotating roll forming assembly is mounted;
- a drive motor acting upon the rotating shaft in a manner causing rotation of the rotating shaft;
- wherein the rolling machine acts upon a metallic strip material to form the wave and current energy dissipater and barrier system.
