Title:
OCEAN WAVE GENERATING MEANS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH08243207
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for generating ocean wave which is able to generate the ocean wave by allowing the ocean currents to flow. SOLUTION: Many of the ocean producing structures 10 each of which has a support structure 14 and a web 12 are provided. The support structure is fixed on the seabottom 32, and the web 12 can form the wave 34B by energizing upward an ocean swell 34A which flows over the web 12, and for this reason, the edge of a rising swell part 12A is placed lower than the edge of a falling swell part 12B. The form of the wave 34B depends on the gradient of the web 12 part. A support structure 14 allows the ocean currents to flow through, and accordingly, it does not much influence on the ocean environment.
