The Origin
                                                       Together with Prof. Dr.- Ing. S. Schuster, inventor and
                                                       patent owner of the principle to create artificial waves
                                                       pneumatically, Wolfgang Teichmann and his engineers
                                                       of Jmhof & Co GmbH, Bad Nauheim, Germany, reali-

                                                       tor in the world in an outdoor wave pool operated with
                                                       seawater in Horumersiel, a small town at the North Sea
                                                       in Germany.
                                                       The innovation got around very quickly in Europe, was
                                                       taken up with enthusiasm outside Europe and initia-

                                                       industry.
                                                       It was already in 1970 that the first wave pool on the
                                                       American continent was realized in Decatur, Alaba-
                                                       ma, USA with the know-how and technical assistance
                                                       of Wolfgang Teichmann and his team. In 1973 the first
                                                       Pneumatic Wave Generator of Asia was opened in Tochi-
                                                       gi, Japan. In 1971 Pneumatic Waves were generated
                                                       in an Olympic sized pool equipped with an inclined
                                                       movable floor as beach area in Warnemünde, Germany.
                                                       Multi-pattern waves were realized for the first time in
                                                       the world in 1973 in Rheinkamp, Germany. In 1975
                                                       the first combined 50 m sports and wave pool opened
                                                       successfully equipped with our first Pneumatic Quick Wa-

                                                   The Technology
                                                       The pneumatically generated waves are produced by a
                                                       periodical oscillation of air pressure in the wave cham-
                                                       bers. The wave chambers are placed at the deep end of
                                                       the pool and are open below waterlevel towards the pool.
                                                       With the appropriate tuning, the waves travel along the
                                                       pool and form the breakers in the shallow beach area.

  • 3. The Origin Together with Prof. Dr.- Ing. S. Schuster, inventor and patent owner of the principle to create artificial waves pneumatically, Wolfgang Teichmann and his engineers of Jmhof & Co GmbH, Bad Nauheim, Germany, reali- zed in 1967 / 1968 the first Pneumatic Wave Genera- tor in the world in an outdoor wave pool operated with seawater in Horumersiel, a small town at the North Sea in Germany. The innovation got around very quickly in Europe, was taken up with enthusiasm outside Europe and initia- ted several innovative solutions in the pool building industry. It was already in 1970 that the first wave pool on the American continent was realized in Decatur, Alaba- ma, USA with the know-how and technical assistance of Wolfgang Teichmann and his team. In 1973 the first Pneumatic Wave Generator of Asia was opened in Tochi- gi, Japan. In 1971 Pneumatic Waves were generated in an Olympic sized pool equipped with an inclined movable floor as beach area in Warnemünde, Germany. Multi-pattern waves were realized for the first time in the world in 1973 in Rheinkamp, Germany. In 1975 the first combined 50 m sports and wave pool opened successfully equipped with our first Pneumatic Quick Wa- terlevel Change System in Mönchengladbach, Germany. The Technology The pneumatically generated waves are produced by a periodical oscillation of air pressure in the wave cham- bers. The wave chambers are placed at the deep end of the pool and are open below waterlevel towards the pool. With the appropriate tuning, the waves travel along the pool and form the breakers in the shallow beach area. API PLAY & SPRAY® Our Experience The More than 500 Pneumatic Wave Generators in 500 different wave pools realized in 38 countries around the ground... world are on our steadily growing reference list. Since years we continuously optimise and harmonize the com- ponents and the pool designs in order to assure that you as the investor and operator are always a wavelength ahead on what is an attractive and safe wavepool in . . . the wetter the better! daily operation. We invite you to share our experience already in the planning phase and to invest our experience into your successful wave pool. 18 3

The capacity of the Torrent River in comparison to a typical waterslide is thus much higher and reaches up to 2.000 guests per hour. A few meters of level difference between start and lan- ding are sufficient to create a more than 100 m long splashy and wild adventure. The space requirement can be adapted to your local situation. In an indoor waterpark project in Korea we realized a Torrent River besides a wavepool on a foot- print which is only 5 to 8 m wide and 25 m long. A more generous design and integration of the mean- derings into a natural slightly descending landscape can be realized if the Torrent River is built as an outdoor attraction. The installed pump power can be used to have your guests ride a more calm and gentle River or a real chal- lenging Torrent. Down-hill competitions with small mats or boards can be organized as special events. Nearly every Center Parcs has been equipped with our Torrent River since 1982.
