Break water with damper panels - consists sequence of frames with spring-loaded panels and constructed of nets

摘要

The breakwater consists of a frame (2, 4) and dampler panels (1), fastened turnably to a shaft. The panels are fixed, so that with the water pressure, they turn against a spring (3), into an end position. The frame is positioned in direction of the incoming waves, and the panels turn to face into the current. The frame carries a large number of panels, next to and above each other, which combine to form a large damper surface. Each frame is constructed of nets, so that the whole system is easily moveable, independant of any anchoring in the ground. Several frames are positioned behind each other, to reduce kinetic wave energy.
