This 11 min. 15 sec. un-narrated video offers the viewer the scale and scope of developing Global Oceanic Designs technology initially tested by Independent Natural Resources, Inc. (INRI) at its 6.7 acre Texas facility.
This 5.2 million dollar construction project was designed around testing INRI’s patented commercial SeaDog Wave Pumps for use in the Gulf of Mexico.
These wave pumps were invented and designed by Kenneth W. Welch Jr. and the project was put into action after INRI received a commercial permit from U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers to place a commercial wave farm in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas.
The tank, engineered by Mr. Welch, would serve as a first of its kind 40ft wide, 150ft long and 16ft deep concrete wave pond for offshore wave energy generation testing. The construction and installation of the site, managed by Mr. Welch, would include:
1) A 40ft wide, 150ft long and 16ft deep concrete wave pond (tank)
2) 3 - “Fulcrum Pond Pounders” (wave makers) capable of displacing 11,000 pounds of water each during a single stroke of movement, operated by a 15hp air actuator system.
3) 3 - “Fulcrum Wave Pumps” (for energy production) for beta testing part of Mr. Welch’s new patent pending “Wave Energy Transfer System”.
4) 3 - Commercial ready SeaDog Wave Pumps (for energy production).
5) A 120ft water lift tower to create static head required by INRI’s SeaDog Wave Pumps to operate efficiently during testing. Pumps and tower are located in the center of the tank.
6) A 30,000 gallon elevated water storage tank (elevated reservoir).
7) 2 - 16ft high cinder block bunkers connected to the wave pond one at each end and each featuring two (4ft by 8ft) acrylic viewing portals for underwater observation. These bunkers would have the capability of being flooded for use as additional indoor ponds.
8) 2 - Control buildings for operations built on top of the bunkers.
9) All landscaping, roads, gates and fencing on the property for the project.
It is envisioned that Global Oceanic Designs’ in-house “Fulcrum Wave Pond” in Willis, Texas will be four times larger at 40ft wide, 600ft long and 16ft deep. This system will be capable of sustaining a 5ft wave regime, using less than 30hp of energy.
