Abstract:
A wave generating apparatus ( 100 ) for generating at least one wave in a surface of a body of water ( 102 ) has at least one wave generating object ( 12, 150 ) with at least one wave generating surface ( 13, 152 ), drive means ( 108, 110 ) for causing the wave generating object to oscillate along a path ( 106 ), with the wave generating object in contact with the body of water for at least some of the time. When there is a single wave generating object ( 12, 150 ), the wave extends away from the wave generating object and when there are multiple wave generating objects ( 12, 150 ), the wave generating objects ( 12, 150 ) and wave generating surfaces ( 13, 152 ) are configured such that substantially all of any waves generated extend away from the wave generating objects.

Claim (Index 42):
A wave generating system for use in a wave pool defining a body of water having a water surface and a shoreline, the wave generating system comprising:\n a plunger ( 22 ) having movable portions for adjusting a side cross section profile of the plunger; a drive mechanism ( 100 ) for causing the plunger ( 22 ) to oscillate along a path intersecting with the water surface, wherein oscillation of the plunger ( 22 ) along the path generates waves in the wave pool; and a reef unit ( 260 ) located in the body of water between the plunger ( 22 ) and the shoreline, the reef unit ( 260 ) including a plurality of legs ( 262 ) and a member ( 264 ) supported by the plurality of legs ( 262 ), the member ( 264 ) having a wave break surface ( 266 ) under the water surface for generating wave breaks ( 267 ) as the waves propagate over the wave break surface ( 266 ), wherein the plurality of legs ( 262 ) are adjustable in length for adjustably positioning the wave break surface ( 266 ) at various depths under the water surface; wherein the wave generating system is controllable by adjusting the side cross section profile of the plunger to generate waves having different amounts of energy; and wherein the wave generating system is controllable by adjusting the depth of the wave break surface under the water surface to cause the waves to break at a desired location in the wave pool.
