Definitions

  • the system advantageously comprises a means for creating a fluid under pressure and / or having a speed.
  • a means is for example a gas compressor, air, steam, a fan, a turbine, a compressor of liquid, water, liquid loaded with gas, water charged with carbon dioxide, a liquid pump (centrifugal, volumetric), a pump immersed in the basin, or a combination of such means.
  • the means is therefore advantageously chosen from the group consisting of means for putting a gas under pressure, in particular air, steam, hot air, means for putting a liquid under pressure, in particular water, means to provide a speed to a fluid, especially water.
  • the link between the sensor information and the command can wisely be treated as occurring in a repetitive cycle, and so we can optimally advance the start of the injectors so that their action actually starts at the right time without delay due to this start-up.
  • Figure 2b is a view of a pool similar to that shown in Figure 2a, except that it comprises four ramps 20,20bis, 21,21bis of injectors, the injectors 8 of a first pair of ramps 20, 21 being located near a first side wall 23 of the pool, while that the injectors 8 of the other pair of ramps 20a, 21a are located at near another wall, advantageously a wall 23bis opposite to the wall 23.
  • FIG. 9a shows the position of the section 201 that does not close the openings 200
  • Figure 9b shows the position of the section 201 closing the openings.
  • the effect of wave resonance as well as all regulation and sensors, optical, sound, pressure, etc., which can control just as well the movements of the wave that the injector controls and the result of the injectors.
