Something about big powerful machines scares me and amazes me at the same time

This is a great design, being able to have maybe dozens of people of different skills surfing in different sections at the same time is awesome.

Since this is in Australia, I'm assuming there is a Great White or something equally deadly in the lagoon.

Fascinating

Incredible

Super. Here in New Caledonia, no wave because of the greatest lagoon on Earth, it should be wonderful !!!

I don't surf and I don't live in Australia, yet this makes me happy.

Kelly has the better wave but Occy has the better design. Kelly's wave dishes out one wave every 5-minutes whereas Occy's wave will throw out a few hundred waves per hour. If Occy can only double the height of his wave it would become unbeatable compared to all other wave pool designs IMO. But how do you generate a bigger wave with the design they have now? How about: A) Make the donut heavier and/or bigger B) Raise the donut higher before dropping it C) Install an hydraulic press to generate more force by pushing the donut down harder and faster D) Do all of the above What do you think?

@steveworden1994

5 жыл бұрын

All seem feasible...but it must not be that easy or they would have done it already unless it's a budget thing. To increase the size of the wave it seems the whole facility not just the donut (and the corresponding power plant) has to be upscaled/changed. Deeper, the breaks will have to be larger, more space to paddle in, plus more run-out space for wave energy so you don't end up w/backwash. An 8' barreling wave?! The facility would need to be enormous...

Find the resonance.! Bit like double bounce on the trampolines. All in the timing but you gotta have 2 conscentric donuts. The inner one prepares the water by inhaling the water and towards it and the outer just at the right time comes down and accelerates the water as it is going back down. Contact me for my plans if you like. Regards andy

@@TheCrystalCollector No Way Bro! That's so cool to hear. Marquette can seriously get really sick! I've surfed there many times. It has some of the most dramatic scenery. There's nothing like walking from the parking lot down a trail a foot deep in snow, cedar trees drooped over you with pure white dipped tips cone shaped making you think of something else. And then it opens up and as you look through the snow filled air, you see it....Perfect 4 foot(7 to 8 foot faces) peaks A-framing all down the beach. Just like anywhere with that much water and wind, you'll get all kinds of waves. I'm just kidding. I wouldn't try it. Don't waste your time. ;)

I've lived in QLD for 18yrs and never heard of it! Due to it's seemngly lack of complexity and we have lots of land, I'd say it'll be a great hit. Even section off a quadrant for people who just like to romp around the surf whilst there partners/mates surf close by. The good part of this idea is that you're guaranteed a size of wave every time!!

Amazing Idea! If the build a corridor for the wave front, the wave could last longer.

Congratulations on a great wave system. The wave should be quite nice as you tweak the system and increase the wave height. Wave machines are the wave of the future.

Needs to be bigger. They are working on increasing Kelly's wave pool here in California up to 12 foot faces, they can get 8 footers now but I think for that pool to go over the top they need 12' or bigger faces along with adding some different contours to the floor of the pool so it has a few performance sections that let you cut back, bang off the white water, off the lips and whatever you like. Just so It's not a barrel /one aspect wave. Good start here, the method is simple, they need for a bit more size.
