Wave tainer displacement wave generator

Abstract

The present invention is a shipping container water displacement activated wave generating device for use in a body of water. The wave generating device preferably has displacement forming characteristics that help to create laminar waves which then transverse a slope or artificial surfing reef to create waves which surfing maneuvers can be performed. The water displacement device is a wave container, which is oscillated up and down by mechanical means and the container displaces water to form a swell toward the slope or reefs and creates a wave for surfing.

Claims

4. The wave making container as recited in claim 1, wherein the wave making container forms part of a plurality of wave making containers side by side in a turned angle from 30-70 degrees to create different swells at different peel angles into the body of water and, wherein a wave making containers are set back from each other and, wherein a wave making containers are oscillating in sequence.

5. The wave making container as recited in claim 1, wherein the wave making container forms part of a plurality of making containers side by side where the water facing side of the wave making container has a front angle inclination to the water from 0-40 degrees to create different swells into the body of water.

6. The wave making container as recited in claim 1, wherein the wave making container forms part of a plurality of wave making containers side by side where the wave making containers can also be oscillated up and down by a dual ended hydraulic cylinder.
