Diverging and converging swells to make surfing waves

Abstract

Disclosed in the current invention is a way to build a low cost and highly efficient surf pool by using diverging and converging swells to create waves for surfing. When a plurality of individual plunger wave generating devices or a single triangle pyramid shaped plunger, force a diverging swell into a first end of a surf pool. The swell then diverges or expands outward until the swell is wide enough to break over an artificial surfing reef. When a plurality of individual plunger wave generating devices in different opposite locations in the surf pool pushes a swell into the surf pool, as the swell transverses it converges into a single swell, which then continues to travel and breaks over an artificial surfing reef.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] FIG. 1. Is a top-down view of the triangle shaped surf pool 2. The individual plunger wave making devices 1, is located at the apex 5 of the triangle shaped surf pool 2. The individual plunger wave making devices 1 oscillates up and down and pushes a diverging swell 4 out into the triangle shaped surf pool 2. As the individual plunger wave making devices 1 pushes a transverse diverging swell into the triangle shaped surf pool 2, the swell creates deflection and diverges the wave to expand outward creating a diverging swell 4. The diverging swells 4 break over the side reefs 3 and also break over the first A frame artificial reef 7. The diverging swells 4 then continue toward the end of the triangle shaped surf pool 2 where the diverging swells 4 diminish in size, where they are then reformed using a second triangle pyramid plunger 22. The diverging swell 4 then encounters a deeper reform section 8 where the diverging swell 4 is then reformed into a larger diverging swell 4.

[0022] FIG. 2. Is a top down view of a Horse Shoe U shaped surf pool 10. The Horse Shoe U shaped surf pool has three individual plunger wave generating devices 1, on each side of the surf pool 10.

[0023] The individual plunger wave making devices 1 oscillate on both sides at the same time and push out a diverging swell 4. The swell travels along the side reefs 12. The diverging swell 4 creates a point break style wave. The diverging swell 4 on each side of the horse shoe pool 10, converge at the converging point 13.

[0024] FIG. 3. Is a top-down view of the individual plunger wave generating devices 1 in a triangle shape wave generator wall 14 pushing diverging swells in the surf pool 15. The individual plunger wave generating device 1, are positioned in a triangle shape 14, to push diverging swells 4 into the surf pool 15. As the diverging swells 4, push out from the plunger wave makers 1, in a diverging expanding fashion, they break over the contoured bottom 16. As the diverging swells 4 diverge and expand outward into the surf pool they create left 17 and right 18 breaking waves.

[0025] FIG. 4. Is a top-down view of the six plunger wave makers 1, arranged in a straight linear line along the rear wall of the surf pool. As the diverging swell 4, transverses into the surf pool the swell diverges and expands out word. When the diverging swell 4 reaches a diverging point where it then breaks of artificial reefs. The Diverging swell 4, can break over any number of reefs as the diverging swell is wide enough to create breaking waves. In this FIG. 4, there is a triangular shaped reef 7. These triangular reefs (A frames), cause the wave to break both left and right at the same time called an A Frame Wave 19.

[0026] FIG. 5. Is a top down view of a three-beach reef surf lake 20. There is a first V shaped section 21, that contains a triangle pyramid shape plunger 22. There is a deep section 8 in front of the triangle pyramid shape plunger 22. There is a first beach reef section 23, that functions as a slab or A frame reef 7, that breaks the wave down the middle to form a left and right breaking wave. At the rear of the first beach reef 23, is a second V shaped section 21, that contains a second triangle pyramid shape plunger 22. In front of the triangle pyramid plunger 22, is a deeper section 8, followed by a second beach reef 25, shaped as double point break 24. At the rear of the second beach reef section 25, is a third V shaped section 21, that has plunger wave making devices 1. In front of the third V section 21, is a deeper area 8. In front of the deeper water 8 is a double beach reef. Running along all three beach reef sections 21, are channels that run down the entire length of the surf lake 26.

The wave generator walls that make up the V section are 90-degree walls 27. The triangle pyramid plunger 22, fastens to the V wall 21 with steel wide flange beams 28. The wide flange beams 28 bolt to the triangle pyramid plunger 22, at the upper and lower back of the triangle pyramid plunger 22.

[0028] FIG. 7. Is a top-down view of the triangle shaped surf pool 2. The triangle pyramid shaped plunger 22, is located at the apex 5 of the triangle shaped surf pool 2. The triangle pyramid shaped plunger 22 oscillates up and down and pushes a diverging swell 4 out into the triangle shaped surf pool 2. As the triangle pyramid shaped plunger 22 pushes a diverging swell 4 into the triangle shaped surf pool 2, the diverging swell 4 creates deflection and diverges the wave to expand outward creating a diverging wave 4. The diverging swell 4 breaks over the side reefs 3 and then breaks over the first artificial reef 7. The diverging swell 4 then continue toward the end of the triangle shaped surf pool 2 where the diverging swells 4 diminish in size, where they are then reformed using a second triangle pyramid shaped plunger 22. The diverging swell 4 then encounters a deeper reform section 8 where the diverging swell 4 is then reformed into a larger surfable diverging swell 4.
