PNEUMOHYDRAULIC NONVOLATILE BREAKWATER Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E02B3/06 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: breakwater comprises pneumatic, hydraulic and floating wave absorbers. A floating wave absorber is arranged in the form of a pontoon with an adjacent inclined platform and with a frontal wall permeable from the inside. The frontal wall comprises latticed segments with inner valves. Besides, under impact of waves the floating wave absorber is a supercharger and an accumulator of air and pressure for two other wave absorbers joined by pipelines with the pontoon. Pipelines are equipped with available systems of automatic feed of specified working media to them in volumes depending on wave parameters.

EFFECT: breakwater is self-aligned along with wave passage, efficiency of its wave absorbers is automatically aligned in compliance with parameters of sea disturbance, which provides for operation of a breakwater in optimal mode under preservation of normal conditions for an ecosystem in a protected water of area.
