Abstract:
1. A floating oxygenation circulator platform (OCP), having a body for floatation, said body having a central vertical axis and a substantially submerged, outwardly facing surface and an impeller or other flow means arranged below the platform for generating bottom-to-top, highly efficient fluid-to-energy, toroidal vortex flows in liquid bodies which flow upwardly past and interact with said outwardly facing surface under the influence of said impeller or other flow means, and specifically having sub-vortex induction means mounted on, attached to, made part of, extending out from or placed around the outwardly facing surface of the body of said platform, said sub-vortex induction means arranged for generating numerous complex sub-vortices as liquid flows upward past the outwardly facing surface of the body of the circulator platform and spreads outward across the surface of the liquid.
