Water circulation systems for ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water
Abstract
Circulation systems for ponds, lakes, or other bodies of water. In one set of embodiments, water is drawn up from the depths of the body for exposure to the atmosphere and to generate an overall, high flow circulation pattern throughout the entire body. In other embodiments, the circulation in the body of water is primarily limited to an upper aerobic zone with only small and controlled volumes from a lower anaerobic zone being brought up. Each system preferably includes a flotation platform, dish, impeller, and draft tube with specific modifications to the various systems to adapt them for use in a variety of environments.

16 . A water circulation system for ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water, said system including a flotation platform, dish, impeller, and draft tube having upper and lower end portions, said draft tube extending downwardly into the body of water wherein water is lifted by the impeller from adjacent the lower end portion of the draft tube to flow up through the draft tube toward the dish and wherein said system further includes a generator positioned in the uplifted flow to impart energy thereto.
17 . The system of claim 16 wherein the generator is positioned in the uplifted flow below the impeller.
18 . The system of claim 16 wherein the generator is positioned in the uplifted flow adjacent the upper end portion of the draft tube.
19 . The system of claim 16 wherein the generator imparts a magnetic field to the uplifted flow.
20 . The system of claim 16 wherein the generator imparts an electric current to the uplifted flow.
21 . The system of claim 16 wherein the generator imparts sonic waves to the uplifted flow.
22 . The system of claim 16 wherein the generator imparts ultrasonic waves to the uplifted flow.
23 . The system of claim 16 wherein the generator is solar powered.
24 . The system of claim 16 wherein calcium and phosphate molecules are present in the water and the generator serves to create apatite therefrom.
