Abstract

Curtain Tsunami is a device consisting of separated panels with sharp angels called (water wave curtain panels). They split the water molecules of the mechanical waves of water passing through them. These panels are positioned vertically, having a weight at the bottom and a floater in the middle. The panels are gathered with a cord called the wave curtain panels cord. This cord is connected to the cord of the anchor which serves as a ground base of the device. Each panel consists of one piece; half of it is floating and the other is sunken, so that it touches the upper and lower points of the mechanical waves.

Description

Curtain Tsunami

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

The invention is based on a weakness point in the mechanical wave current that moves water molecules. The giant tsunami is the largest waves of water. The invention dynamically breaks up the energy of each wave of water current. The device looks like the curtains made up of panels which reduce the sunlight and protect the users.

The invention was named as "Curtain Tsunami". The word curtain refers to the mechanism by which the device works and the way it looks. The device divides the current coming from waves. It splits the one large current of the water wave into several separated small currents in the form of marine waves exactly the way the sunlight is blocked out by the panels of curtains.

The mechanism of the device involves the partition of the mechanical wave energy current of each wave into small energy currents in water. Thus, the small waves become separated, spaced and different in terms of speed and directions.

SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Curtain Tsunami is a dynamic machine floating in water. It consists of floaters that block out the movement of the waves. These break up the energy current of the wave by separating the water molecules. This causes new unrests due to the currents resulting from the main current. The small current itself turn into splashes that eventually end and fade away in the sea.

Curtain Tsunami works on one principle: splitting the mechanical waves of three dimensions: length, width and height. This process is done on the innovative panels or any type of barriers such as coral shapes and interlocking shapes.

Curtain Tsunami consists of several models that contain similar techniques stemming from the same principal of the invention. One of the most common models is the separated vertical panels. Half of them are floating and the other half is sunken under the sea water. They are held together by cords that run through of them to fix them to a specific place. These cords are connected to a central weight in the solid ground of the sea which serves as an anchor. The following is a further clarification of the device.

1- The panels of the water waves curtain: (figure 1)

They are panels of certain shapes that block out a small part of the energy current of one wave. As a result, the water wave size decreases from its edges every time it passes a panel maintaining its movement and its current energy. Now, a small portion of the current is separated from the main current as a small wave (semi-faded) in the ocean. The panels of the water wave curtain are located in its specific position. This totally depends on the extent of the anchor clung to the solid ground of the sea.

(Each panel of the wave curtain must have a complete structure of floater, weight and base to which the cords are connected for the panels to be balanced while receiving the waves. This makes each panel ready to play its targeted role) 2- The cord of the water wave curtain: (figure 2)

It is a tool to gather and fix the panels in a dynamical context that destruct the energy current of the wave. The cord has a precise deviation to direct the panels of the water wave curtain achieving its work. The cord of the curtain panels has three main functions:

- Function one: connect and gather the panels of the wave curtain with certain distances.

- Function two: the precise geometrical direction of the dynamic mechanism that block out the wave current

- Function three: the connection between the assembly of the curtain panels and the ground fixative linked to the anchor cord.

3- The anchor and the cord of Curtain Tsunami: (figures 3 and 5)

- The anchor is a weight that fixes everything connected to it, clinging to the ground of the deep sea. It serves as a fixer in the solid ground, (figure 5)

- The cord is a strong cord that connects the anchor and the cord of the water wave curtain. The anchor cord must be the strongest of the cords of Curtain Tsunami, (figure 3)

4- The raft that achieves balance between the device and the anchor: (figure 4)

It is a floating raft that bears heavy weights and repeated pulls due to the sea plash. The raft should also carry a hinge between the rotary anchor cord and the curtain cord. It must be flexible and responsive to the shakes of the waves in all directions. These specifications and conditions of the balance raft achieve one goal: the stability of the independent movement of Curtain Tsunami.

The other models of Curtain Tsunami contains one piece to be installed in the sea which contains the free of floating panels and a balance raft in the base holding the panels as shown in figure 6.

Feature of Curtain Tsunami in efficiency and manufacturing Curtain Tsunami can effectively eliminate the hazard of tsunami by up to 90%. The device also calms the water surface in the area behind the device. If completely constructed, the device needs periodical and continuous maintenance.

Curtain Tsunami is manufactured with sizes suitable for the region to be protected. It does not have a limited length or width.

Drawing 3 illustrates how the panels of the water wave curtain are vertically positioned. This represents the dynamic mechanism that black out the energy current of the mechanical waves in water and the panels vertically and horizontally.

Drawing 3 also shows how the final result of the effect of the water waves break up is displayed on Curtain Tsunami.

Method of utilization: Curtain Tsunami

It is a device floating on the surface of the water. It is dynamically assembled on the fixed pieces free of mechanical movement. These work by the dynamic movement of the water which results from the mechanical wave current in the water molecules. The device can solve many problems that happen to costal cities as a result of the tsunami. Installed in the sea off the city or the region exposed to such waves, the device eliminates the resulting hazard of the tsunami and protects the region against the devastating effects of the tsunami keeping it calm and safe.

It can be also utilized as a wave breaker to protect coasts and the marine ports where yachts and boats gather as an alternative to the concrete or rock breaker.

The important aspect of Curtain Tsunami: For best performance of the service provided by this invention, Curtain Tsunami must be located near to earthquakes and landslides zones that cause the tsunami risk by 35%. The device must also be far from the region or the city to be protected against tsunami risk by 65%, taking the length of the device into consideration. This is for several reasons:

1. The speed of the mechanical wave energy current so that the frequency of the small separated waves is very rapid when splash passing through the dynamic mechanism of the panels of the water wave curtain.

2. The waves passing through the panels disappear when they are divided into small current of small waves based on the space between the panels of the water wave curtain. After passing through the device, the scattered energy of waves is gradually weakened due to the unrest of the scattered small current along the far way to the coast of the protected region or city.

3. The distance from the coast and the depth of the sea water. The depth is a very important factor in particular. The device cannot almost control the giant waves in the shallow depth or close to the costs namely for the following reasons:

The length and width of the water mechanical wave. It is longer and less high in the deep water.

The massive height of the tsunami off the less height in the sea water.

The increased movement of boats and ships near the coast. The device may impede the maritime traffic.

Claim 2: Curtain Tsunami consists of fixed pieces which are the panels of the water wave curtain (figure 1). These panels dynamically transform the one water wave into several scattered currents in the form of small waves disappearing in the sea.

The panels of the water wave curtain impede the waves vertically being a half floating and a half sunken.
