A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A wave generator which may e.g. rest on a deck of a concrete swimming pool is disclosed. The wave generator may include a chassis for support of other components, have structure for engaging a supporting environmental surface or object, an agitator to be periodically projected into the water, and an oscillating device for periodically projecting the agitator into the water and withdrawing the agitator from the water to enable subsequent impingements against the water. The oscillating device includes a rocker arm, a powered crank mechanism to rock the rocker arm, and a support arm to hold the agitator below the elevated end of the rocker arm, thus enabling the agitator to impinge against the surface of the water. Optionally, functional components of the wave generator are covered by a cover simulating e.g. a whale. Optionally, the wave generator includes a protective cage held in the water below the agitator.
