TSUNAMI DAMPER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02B3/04 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: tsunami damper comprises a block of channels 1 in the form of, for instance, packages of large-diameter pipes, installed on the sea bottom. At the side of the sea compressing deflectors 2 adjoin the end of the channels 1 block, and the upper deflector is strengthened with stiffening ribs 3, and the lower one rests onto the bottom base, which was previously profiled and reinforced against erosion, and is equipped with anchor joints. A reversible deflector 4 adjoins the other end of the block, at the shore side, having a channelled form and reinforced with support structures 5 with anchor joints. Tsunami waves are damped by impacting them with a strong opposite hydraulic flow, generated on their way with the proposed device, which reduces their destruction energy to the minimum.

EFFECT: using such tsunami dampers will make it possible to preserve natural conditions for ecosystems of coastal area and its natural landscape.
