<p>A wave making machine for substantially unidirectional wave making on a water surface comprises at least one support scow, a plunger supported by each scow by means of a linkage which limits the movement of the plunger to substantially vertical movement and a drive mechanism for driving the plunger between a raised position and a lowered position. The plunger has a front face at least a portion of which is upwardly and forwardly inclined and a back face which is substantially vertically oriented whereby upon periodic motion waves are generated at the front face and substantially no waves are generated at the back face of the plunger. A plurality of scows, each supporting a wave making plunger, may be connected in a side by side relationship to form a laterally elongated wave making mechanism. The scows are connected by movable linkage mechanisms which permit independent movement of each adjacent scow.</p> |
