Plunger wave making generator system

Abstract

A wave making apparatus for creating a surfing wave in a body of water. The waves are generated using a round bottom and front mechanical plunger. The plurality of round front plungers are assembled side by side in a vertical manner on a 90 degree back wall. The individual round front plungers actuate up and down, all at the same time, at different times, in sequence and can be placed in different shaped configurations to produce a swell into a body of water which then break of artificial surfing reefs to create a wave for surfing.

2. The round plunger wave maker as cited in claim 1 further comprising; wherein the plurality of round plunger wave makers are placed side by side to produce a wave into a body of water and breaks over an artificial reef.

3. The round plunger wave maker as cited in claim 1 wherein the plunger wave maker is placed on a back wall of 90 degrees.

4. The round plunger wave maker as cited in claim 1 wherein the round plunger wave maker can be placed in any shaped configuration to produce a wave or swell into a body of water and breaks of an artificial reef.

5. The round plunger wave maker as cited in claim 2 wherein the round plunger wave makers actuate at the same time to produce a swell into a body of water and breaks over an artificial reef and, wherein the round plunger wave makers actuate at different times to produce a swell into a body of water and breaks over an artificial reef and, wherein the round plunger wave makers actuate in sequence to produce a swell into a body of water and breaks over an artificial reef.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(7) FIG. 1. Shows the round plunger wave maker 2, in the down position resting on a cement foundation 4. The front round steel panel 8, which extends to the bottom of the plunger 2, is bolted to two side steel panels 6 and a back steel panel 10. There are two I beams 12 on each side of the rear of the round plunger wave maker 2. The cylinder beams 13, fastens to the I beams 12. In between the two-cylinder beams 13, is a dual ended hydraulic cylinder 14.

(8) FIG. 2. Shows the rear view of the round plunger wave maker 2. Shown in the drawing are the cylinder beams 13, with the dual ended hydraulic cylinder 14 bolted in between. The bearing bracket 16 are bolted to both the I beam 12. Attached to the top of the back steel panel are two supports 7, that connect to each of the sides of the plunger 6.

(9) FIG. 3. Is a top down view of the round plunger wave maker 2. The top support brackets 7, connect from the back steel panel 10 to the side panels 6. The bottom support brackets 9 are connected to the rear panel 10 and to the front panel 8. The front steel panel 8, extends down to the bottom of the plunger 2. The back steel panel 10 and one side panel 6 are shown in drawing. The bottom supports 9 and the top support brackets 7 provide support to the round plunger wave maker so it doesn't collapse in on itself.

(10) FIG. 4. Is a top down view of the round plunger wave maker 2. The top support brackets 7 are shown connecting the back wall panel 10 to the side steel panels 6. There are bottom support brackets 9, shown connecting the back panel 10 to the front steel panel 8. In the rear of the round plunger wave maker 2, are the steel I beams 12. In between the two-cylinder beam brackets 13, is the dual ended hydraulic cylinder 14.

(11) FIG. 5. Is a side view of the round plunger wave maker 2. The outer view of the steel side panel 6 and the inner view of the opposite side panel 6 are illustrated. A side view of the I beams 12, with the bearing bracket 16 run along the I beams 12. The HDPE Bearings 17, run along the I beams 12. There is a top and bottom plate bracket 18, that bolts to the rear of the round plunger wave maker 2. The bearing bracket 16 bolts to the top and bottom plate brackets 18. Bolted to the inside of the bearing bracket 16, are the HDPE bearing brackets 17. Bolted on both sides of the dual ended hydraulic cylinder 14, are two-cylinder beams 13. Bolted to the inside of the I beams 12, are two concrete anchors 15. The bottom bracket 22 at the end of the dual ended hydraulic cylinder rod 20, of the dual ended hydraulic cylinder 14, bolts to a cylinder bracket 24 at the bottom of the round plunger wave maker 2. Securing the cylinder bracket 24 to the round plunger wave maker 2 is a nut rod 26.

(12) FIG. 6. Is a top down view of the round plunger wave maker 2, shown as a plurality of side by side plungers 2. The round plunger wave maker 2, is actuating at different times, in sequence and plungers all at the same time. The rear of the of the round plunger wave makers 2, are anchored to the back cement wall 4. The first set from left to right of the round plunger wave makers 2 and actuating at different times. The next set of round plunger wave makers 2, are shown actuating in sequence. The next three round plunger wave makers 2, are shown all actuating at the same time. The actuating round plunger wave makers 2, push out a swell, which then break over an A frame artificial reef 23 and side artificial reefs 25.
