  • Floating breakwater
    Patent number: 4136994
    Abstract: In a floatable breakwater, one or more flexible membranes are suspended below a floatable, open grid. An outer membrane is formed into a trough. Inner membrane components serve to define multiple ports and reduce the energy of the wave as water is moved and churned through the various ports. The inner membrane components may have a truncated tetrahedral configuration. A turbine may be positioned at one end of the breakwater to utilize the wave energy.
