    Been a bit down lately, surfed all my life until recent events. This video made me genuinely happy.
    KS wave pool, Texas and the others all seem so epic. But this just seems, so fun. Mad little peak for late drops, longer rights, heaps of easier peaks..
    This is awesome. Love to come up once It's done!

    Probably the best design for a wave pool yet I think, you can see the potential it has with the 360 degrees and 4 peaks so you can have 8 guys riding at one time. You may even be able to add more breaking waves around it too. Imagine those waves at 4-6 foot which looks very achievable with a bigger machine.

    • @stokepusher5481
      @stokepusher5481 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      It's gotta be simple steam pressure. It'll give it that application of force... lets off some steam, thrusts again. I reckon one chamber will be the well insulted boiler tank and the other unit will be the pressure regulator/controls. With steam pressure you could make it react as abruptly as a shaken coke bottle and yet your still gonna get that smooth application of a sudden force. Main components are probably just the ballbearings allowing it to roll/bob up and down directly. I think they should make that steam rig look like an old steam train just for fun. Then they could call this tech 'Track Lines' or something, -'Puffer Pools' !!

      Based on my combined experience of making waves in swimming pools with a boogie board and day dreaming, the taper on the plunger needs to be longer and they need to be able to modify the speed and depth of the plunge.

  • @MH-oc4de
    @MH-oc4de 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the idea of it, but I worry that its advantage (makes a circular wave so lots of takeoff points) could be its downfall (now you have wave energy spreading in every direction). I mean, how tall would that piston need to be (or how fast would it need to descend) to make a head high wave ? Maybe impossible. If you look at Slater's wave, the energy is confined to a rectangular box; makes it much easier to get amplitude.

      From a beachgrit article: “We had our first waves yesterday but we’re not at 100 percent capacity yet. We at around forty percent,” says media director and former Tracks magazine editor Wayne Dart, who says the first waves were two, maybe three foot. “We’re analysing all the numbers, making sure we can get it to full size and not break it, essentially. But, this afternoon, there’ll be waves that are overhead. From an engineering perspective, all the numbers are matching. We’re confident it will handle full-tilt.”

    I don't reckon we will see this design near capitol cities due to high land prices..and looks like they need a massive block of dirt. Only way might be for local councils or state govt to step in and convert existing parklands. Other issue is most of the population base in Qld is in the South East..brisso, logan and goldy...have to drive past the sunny coast to get to yepoon...who could be assed (for now)???...then have to pay top dollar for typical waves we surf for free..they def need bigger wave faces and longer rides, before opening to the public....still as a ptototype it's pretty cool, and you can see it potential. If a farmer with a lot of land built a scaled up version..could be good tourist draw....build an inland mini-sea and have a bunch of plungers..solar powered...plenty room for it in oz:)
