Articulated Bed-Mounted Finned-Spar-Buoy Designed For Current Energy Absorption & Dissipation By Using a Force Feedback Loop Causing Side to Side Motion
The present disclosure provides for a buoy apparatus, buoy arrangement and method for reducing the energy in a stream or river current by using a force feedback loop causing side to side motion of the buoy apparatus. The buoy apparatus is arranged in a buoy arrangement. The buoy apparatus includes a centre staff and an elongate cylindrical body mounted on the centre staff. The cylindrical body includes vertically oriented fins protruding radially outwardly from an outer surface of the cylindrical body. The vertically oriented fins are configured to receive hydrodynamic energy from the vortices in a force feedback loop to cause side to side movement of the buoy.
