Silo utilized for water containment and release for the purpose of wave generation

Abstract

A new use of existing dry material storage silos. The massive capacity, proportions of height to diameter, uniform lateral strength attributed to vertical cylindrical and elevated configuration, and very existence provides for a cost effective and efficient means of water storage and release of massive volumes of water for the purpose of creating wave energy in a pool for water surfing and other water recreational entertainment or sport activities.

1 . A silo utilized for water containment and release for the purpose of wave generation for providing wave energy into a pool of water for surfing or other forms of water sport activities. comprising:
 means for storing, powering, maintaining temperature and cleanliness of water utilized for said wave generation and other water sport activities; and   means for containing a massive volume of water substantially elevated so as to create power upon release thereby generating a wave without creating turbulence or loss due to excessive friction, functionally conformed to said means for storing, powering, maintaining temperature and cleanliness of water utilized for said wave generation and other water sport activities.   
     
     
         2 . The silo utilized for water containment and release for the purpose of wave generation in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for storing, powering, maintaining temperature and cleanliness of water utilized for said wave generation and other water sport activities comprises a massive capacity, elevated, structurally adequate silo. 
     
     
         3 . The silo utilized for water containment and release for the purpose of wave generation in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said means for containing a massive volume of water substantially elevated so as to create power upon release thereby generating a wave without creating turbulence or loss due to excessive friction comprises an uniform lateral strength, circular cylinder-wall. 
     
     
         4 . A silo utilized for water containment and release for the purpose of wave generation for providing wave energy into a pool of water for surfing or other forms of water sport activities. comprising:
 a massive capacity, elevated, structurally adequate silo, for storing, powering, maintaining temperature and cleanliness of water utilized for said wave generation and other water sport activities; and   an uniform lateral strength, circular cylinder-wall, for containing a massive volume of water substantially elevated so as to create power upon release thereby generating a wave without creating turbulence or loss due to excessive friction, functionally conformed to said silo.   
     
     
         5 . The silo utilized for water containment and release for the purpose of wave generation as recited in  claim 4 , further comprising:
 an adjustable size, impact absorbing elastomeric-reef, for controlling and enhancing the variation in the shape, size and direction of peel in the wave generated, and preventing bodily harm in the event the reef is impacted by an occupant.   
     
     
         6 . A silo utilized for water containment and release for the purpose of wave generation for providing wave energy into a pool of water for surfing or other forms of water sport activities. comprising:
 a massive capacity, elevated, structurally adequate silo, for storing, powering, maintaining temperature and cleanliness of water utilized for said wave generation and other water sport activities;   an uniform lateral strength, circular cylinder-wall, for containing a massive volume of water substantially elevated so as to create power upon release thereby generating a wave without creating turbulence or loss due to excessive friction, functionally conformed to said silo; and   an adjustable size, impact absorbing elastomeric-reef, for controlling and enhancing the variation in the shape, size and direction of peel in the wave generated, and preventing bodily harm in the event the reef is impacted by an occupant.
