In this video, Co-inventor & Lead Mechanical / R&D Engineer, Kit Sidwell, explains how the Surf Lakes machine produces so many quality waves per hour, and what this equates to from an energy efficiency perspective… with a little help from Occy, of course!
In Part 2 of this series, Kit Sidwell, explains the features built into Surf Lakes facilities to ensure the reliability of the machine and daily operation. This includes triple modular redundancy, fatigue design, off-the-rack air compressors & 1-to-1 Research & Development.
In Part 3 of this series, Kit explains the improved features of the Surf Lakes commercial model that will far exceed our prototype. These elements include over-engineered materials, dry maintenance, sound and vapour attenuation, and crystal-clear water quality.
This video includes some renders of the proposed resort for Capricorn Coast, along with existing footage that has been overlaid with a rendering of the new commercial machine (which will be seen at all commercial Surf Lakes in place of the ‘rusty plunger’).
