Concept behind Wave Level Amplification

Basic rule behind amplification

If a floating submerged barricade placed along the prevailing direction of wave crests. In general it generates two directional waves level (primary ‘A’ and secondary ‘B’ as shown in diagram below) alongside of barricade (i.e., one is in upward direction and another is in downward direction and vise versa) in response to wave motion.

Our Invention an offshore OWC comprises two apparatus

An offshore OWC (Wave Rider) consist of two main devices one is submerge floating stationary wave passing channel platform divided in primary and secondary wave region by isolation wall barricade at the center sloping downward direction from bottom of wall barricade to the forward end of the stationary platform body, at the bottom. The buoyancy tank and the wave accommodating duct cum pneumatic power takeoff chamber are the second device and are joining together by a ramp.

This submerge floating stationary wave passing channel platform is floatable on the ocean and in use, is moored with the forward end facing into the waves to generate primary wave level in the primary region by the isolation wall barricade and to generate secondary wave level in the secondary region. The wave level are directionally opposite to each other (i.e., one is in upward direction and another is in downward direction and vise versa).

The buoyancy tank and the wave accommodating duct cum pneumatic power takeoff chamber are the second device and are joining together by a ramp. This heaves across the wall barricade in the channel platform, the buoyancy tank facing towards the wave direction in primary wave section and the power take off chamber to the opposite side of the wall barricade respectively.
