American Wave Machines Announces The First Commercial Installation Of Perfectswell(tm) Wave Technology
AWM Delivers Waves to Upstate New York.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) August 10, 2010 - Solana Beach, CA - American Wave Machines, Inc. (AWM), an innovator in artificial wave technology, announced today that it has installed their first commercial wave pool at Zoom Flume Waterpark in East Durham, New York. In keeping with their core mission of innovative artificial wave development, this is the first installation of an AWM proprietary pneumatic wave system in the world.
With the launch of the Riptide Cove Wave Pool built with AWM PerfectSwell technology, the unlikely sight and sound of waves breaking in the scenic northern Catskill Mountains has become reality at Zoom Flume Waterpark.
Developed in cooperation with Flometrics Inc. of Carlsbad, CA, PerfectSwell is the first pneumatic wave generating system that creates waves that behave like wind generated swells in the ocean. While traditional wave pools create surge waves similar to tidal bores, PerfectSwell alternatively reduces rip currents and energy buildup within the pool, while creating breaking waves with the same profile advance as ocean waves. With programmable controls, Zoom Flume operators will be able to vary the wave profiles, allowing guests to experience the dynamic of ocean waves.
"We developed PerfectSwell wave technology because we wanted to deliver the feeling of a real ocean wave, something not available with current offerings," said Bruce McFarland, president of AWM. "Working with Flometrics, we have achieved that."
"Design and flexibility were key factors in selecting AWM," said Glenn Aragona, General Manager and Owner of Zoom Flume, "AWM invited us into the design and specification process and we were able to build a terrific wave pool."
