  • Wave Generating Systems
    Publication number: 20170247895
    Abstract: A wave generating system comprising: a semi-submerged water displacement hull adapted to travel along a travel path within a wave pool, thereby generating a wake; and a wake modulator adapted to modulate the wake; wherein at least one of the travel path of the hull relative to the wake modulator and the travel of the wave modulator relative to the wake generated by the hull is controlled to effect the modulation of the wake.

  • SCREW TURBINE AND METHOD OF POWER GENERATION
    Publication number: 20130177424
    Abstract: A screw turbine comprising a helical turbine blade mounted for axial rotation, a mount associated with the helical turbine blade and mounting the helical turbine blade for axial rotation, and a generator associated with the helical turbine blade which converts energy imparted to the helical turbine blade to electricity, wherein the diameter of the helical turbine blade is less than the lead of the helical turbine blade and wherein said screw turbine is adapted to permit lateral exchange of fluid in use.

  • Wave generating apparatus
    Patent number: 8042200
    Abstract: The wave-generating apparatus in accordance with the invention has a pool (11) having a deeper area (12) surrounding a substantially central area (13); a pool edge (15) bounding the pool; a body (16) having a wave-generating shaped surface (22) located within the pool adjacent the pool edge and moveable along the pool edge relative thereto to generate a wave (17) in the water in the pool, and impeller means (18) generating a current in the water in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the body.
