Combustion powered wave generator
First Claim
1. A wave generator system for generating waves in a swimming pool comprising:
- at least one chamber communicative with said swimming pool through a below-the-water passage and having a sealed portion extending above the water level of said pool, each chamber comprising;
means for selectively introducing combustive elements into said chamber; and
means for selectively igniting said combustive elements within said chamber according to the waves to be generated.

Abstract
A wave generator for a swimming pool, comprising a caisson divided into a plurality of wave-generating chambers. Each wave-generating chamber communicates with the swimming pool through a below-the-water passage and has a sealed portion which extends above the water level of the pool. Each sealed portion of the chamber receives combustive elements which are ignited to produce an increased pressure which directly displaces the water within the chamber, inducing a wave action in the associated swimming pool. Each wave-generating chamber is selectively operated in concert with the remaining chambers to produce a desired wave pattern which propagates across the pool surface. The present wave generator features increased efficiency and fewer components over previous wave-generating apparatus.
