WATER BALLASTED WAVE ATTENUATOR
This invention relates to a novel water ballasted wave attenuator that can be used to diminish or eliminate the impact of waves on shorelines or objects located in or on water bodies. A water ballasted wave attenuator comprising: (a) a hollow shell formed of reinforced concrete; (b) a flotation medium disposed in the upper region of the interior of the reinforced concrete shell (a); (c) an air chamber disposed below the flotation medium (b) in the lower region of the interior of the reinforced concrete shell; and, (d) at least one water vent located in the interior of the reinforced concrete shell (a), said vent connecting the interior of the shell with the exterior of the shell.
