SURFING INSTALLATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044160 titled 'SURFING INSTALLATION
Simplified Explanation
The invention is a surfing installation that generates a surfable wave. It includes an inclined ramp, where water flows from a water inlet and is accelerated to a first flow speed. The lower end of the ramp leads to a region with a lower second flow speed, creating a standing wave as a result of the water flow. The innovation includes movable walls that define flow channels in the water inlet and/or ramp. These walls can be rotated and/or translated transversely to the flow direction of the water using a drive, generating traveling waves that travel transversely to the flow direction.
- The invention is a surfing installation that generates a surfable wave.
- It includes an inclined ramp where water flows from a water inlet.
- The water is accelerated on the ramp to a first flow speed.
- The lower end of the ramp leads to a region with a lower second flow speed.
- This creates a standing wave as a result of the water flow.
- Movable walls are arranged in the region of the water inlet and/or ramp.
- These walls define flow channels and can be moved by a drive.
- The walls can be rotated and/or translated transversely to the flow direction of the water.
- This movement generates traveling waves that travel transversely to the flow direction.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Recreational surfing installations for surfers to practice and enjoy surfing.
- Training facilities for professional surfers to improve their skills.
- Entertainment attractions in water parks or amusement parks.
- Surfing simulators for virtual reality or gaming experiences.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a controlled and consistent surfable wave in locations without natural waves.
- Allows surfers to practice and train in a controlled environment.
- Provides a safe and controlled surfing experience for beginners or inexperienced surfers.
- Offers a year-round surfing experience regardless of weather or geographical limitations.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enables the creation of surfable waves in locations without natural waves.
- Provides a customizable and adjustable wave for different skill levels and preferences.
- Offers a safe and controlled environment for surfers to practice and enjoy surfing.
- Can be used for recreational purposes, training, or entertainment purposes.
- Enhances the accessibility and availability of surfing experiences.
Original Abstract Submitted
the invention relates to a surfing installation (a, b) for generating a surfable wave (), comprising an inclined ramp () to the upper end () of which water flows via a water inlet (), which water is accelerated on the ramp () to a first flow speed, the lower end () of the ramp () leading into a region () having a lower second flow speed relative to the first flow speed, and a standing wave, in the flow direction, forming in the region () as a result of the water flowing at the first, faster flow speed striking the water flowing at the second, lower flow speed. a further functional area for the surfing installation () for one or more surfers () is achieved, according to the invention, in that at least two walls () that define at least one flow channel () are arranged in the region of the water inlet () and/or of the ramp (), which walls are movable in rotation and/or in translation, transversely to the flow direction of the water, by means of at least one drive (), in order to generate at least one traveling wave () that travels transversely to the flow direction.
