P squared system (pss)

Abstract

The invention has to do with a hydro-technique architectural system, capable to annihilate any tsunami waves size, destined in principle to the protection of people, animals, infrastructure and the existent architecture and the coastal environment of seas and oceans. The invention is composed of a PSS system made of one or many reinforced concrete tubes (preferable having a rectangular section) (A), for discharge/intake the tsunami wave (TW). PSS system contains an intake gate (B), for the (TW), an evacuation gate (C), and two floaters (D) and (E), permitting the (TW) to enter and exit in and out to the PSS system. The entire tsunami protection system, may be built using many PSS tubes with one or several intake and evacuation gates as necessary. The PSS system can also be used for protection against tidal waves and coastal erosions.

         7 . A Hydro-Technic Architectural System comprising:
 (a) a reinforced concrete Tube (A) comprising:
 a. an Intake Gate (B) with structural resistance characteristics and mounted at the top wall and at the extremity of the Tube (A) closed to the coastal; and 
 b. an Exit Gate (C) with structural resistance characteristics and mounted on a traversal axis at the top of the Tube (A) at the other extremity away from the coast line; 
   (b) wherein the Intake Gate (B) is unlocked by a Floater Pump (D) and the Exit Gate (C) is unlocked by an Interior Floater (E);   (c) wherein the Floater Pump (D) and the Interior Floater (E) are activated first by a tsunami or tidal wave level, and activated second by the water level accumulated inside Tube (A);   (d) wherein the Tube (A) is disposed under the ocean floor having a smaller slope inclination with the horizontal than the ocean floor's slop so the end of the Tube (A) where the Exit Gate (C) is located, above the ocean floor with its bottom wall and the Exit Gate (C) clear to be activated and permit the accumulated debit of water to be recirculated into the ocean.   
     
     
         8 . The System of  claim 1 , wherein the Tube (A):
 (a) is a system on its own is built out of reinforced concrete sections sealed in between;   (b) contains two metallic frames for the Intake Gate (B) and the Exit Gate (C), and has the option to extend towards the outside and has at least one spring mounted on the frame to force the rapid opening of the Intake Gate (B) and the Exit Gate (C) to enable the wave recirculation; and   (c) is equipped with a complex of pipes with water valves inserted inside of them for the evacuation mounted of the remaining water inside, which is connected with the outside pump of the Floater Pump (D) mounted on the body of the Hydro-technic Tube (A)'s top and also the design of Tube (A) uses architectural elements as visiting windows, pressure gages indicators, salinity and temperature gages indicators, marine searching room features, and permitting lateral, overlapping and extending possibilities for connection with other Tubes (A) based on the protection conditions and choice, with the purpose to offer an increased factor of safety and applicability for other attributes as well as marine search, main lines drainage and flooding draining abilities, capable to handle seismic movements and geologic deformations.   
     
     
         9 . The System of  claim 1 , wherein Intake Gate (B):
 (a) is made out of Stainless steel activated by the Floater Pump (D),   (b) is mounted in a way to permit rotation around its axis shaft positioned transversal on the longitudinal direction of Tube (A), in an unbalanced position in the middle of it, to permit the bigger back part of the Intake Gate (B) to go down and while the smaller front part goes up, opens up and stops to an angle of 60°-70° with the horizontal plan of the ocean;   (c) is comprised with enclosed trusses protruding through the gate's wall of the bottom side, placed perpendicular on the shaft axis, wherein the placement creates parallel canals permitting the waves' water debit discharge and guidance inside the Hydro-technic Tube (A) and enhancing the structural resistance of the Intake Gate (B); and   (d) contains a complex of levers connected with the outside Floater Pump (D) which unlocks it before to be open.   
     
     
         10 . The System of  claim 1 , wherein Exit Gate (C):
 (a) is made out of Stainless steel mounted oblique to ease the opening while unlocked and on an axis shaft at the top side of the Hydro-Technic tube (A);   (b) is structurally enforced in interior by a number of punched trusses to maintain inside of it a constant air pressure to avoid torsion;   (c) is unlocked through a system of levers as component part and connected with the interior floater (E) such that when the floater senses the maximum water level inside the tube (A) unlocks the Exit Gate (C) which opens up to a maximum horizontal position stopped by two side stoppers when the Exit Gate (C) under the oceanic water's pressure exercised over the existing air bubble from inside the Exit Gate (C) forces it upwards, opens and later can be closed by pulling up a floater (the third one) connected with a cable which reaches and floats at the ocean surface which passes through a pulley mounted on the Exit Gate (C) and has the other end fastened at/from the tube (A)'s bottom, only after the tsunami or other phenomena ended.   
     
     
         11 . A method for protecting coastal areas against tsunamis, tidal waves and coastal erosion comprising the use of the system of  claim 7 . 
     
     
         12 . The System of  claim 1 , wherein the Intake Gate (B) is activated by a Floater Pump (D), wherein the Floater Pump (D) is made out of Stainless steel, mounted on the outside of the posterior wall of the Tube (A) it is composed firstly, by a system of levers to unlock and open the Intake Gate (B) either when the water level increases and/or decreases, secondly, by a threaded drive shaft it can be adjusted the distance of the up/down movement of the Floater Pump (D), thirdly, by a cylindrical guiding shaft component through its interior it is permitting the movement of up/down activating the levers system, fourthly, the Floater Pump (D) also composed of a pumping system which in its up/down generated movement by the regular waves, activates its pump and pumps air inside the Tube (A) while because of the watertight closed, increases the air pressure inside the Tube (A), forcing the water to the outside through a pipe system with air pressure relief valves therewith, which is connected to the pipe system from the outside pump of the Floater Pump (D) placed on the Hydro-technic Tube (A). 
     
     
         13 . The System of  claim 1 , wherein the Exit Gate (C) it is activated by the Interior Floater (E) made out of Stainless steel composed mainly of a complex of levers and a rectangular shaped float, which is mounted inside Tube (A) on the posterior wall of it placed in the adjacency of the Intake Gate (B) in a way that once the Interior Floater (E) senses that the Tube (A) is very much filled up and the water pressure inside of it closely matches the water pressure from outside of it, the Exit Gate (C) is getting unlocked by the Interior Floater (E) ready to open and allow the debit of the water accumulated inside the Hydro-Technic Tube (A) to be recirculated back into the ocean.
