Abstract
The methods and the apparatuses of an aeration equipment are described. A floatable aeration equipment with mobility at least has a floatable apparatus, a plurality of aeration apparatuses, and a controller. The thrust causing the motion of the aeration equipment is generated from the aeration apparatuses while aerating. The moving directions and positions of aeration equipment are controlled by a controller, which switches on/off a power source of one or more selected aeration apparatus.

- a floatable apparatus floating on a water surface;
- and
- at least one pair of aeration apparatuses mounted on the floatable apparatus, each pair of aeration apparatuses comprising:
- a first aeration apparatus and a second aeration apparatus disposed on the floatable apparatus and along a moving route thereof;
- a nozzle assembly disposed on each aeration apparatus;
- a pump disposed on each aeration apparatus and introducing water and generating water jets through the nozzle assembly, wherein the nozzle assembly of the first aeration apparatus and the nozzle assembly of the second aeration apparatus are operable to jet water generally in two opposite directions to each other;
- a filter filtering the intake water at an inlet of the pump;
- and
- a control device being operable to alternate between a first operation manner and a second manner to drive the floatable apparatus in the two opposite directions along the moving route thereof, wherein the first operation manner is to simultaneously switch on the first aeration apparatus and switch off the second aeration apparatus, and the second manner is to simultaneously switch off the first aeration apparatus and switch on the second aeration apparatus.
