ABSTRACT:
A system for protecting a coast from erosion by wave action of a body of water comprises one or more rows of fluid dynamic repellers anchored in the water near the shore line. Each of the fluid dynamic repellers comprises a top-shaped bouyant body tethered to an anchor on the bottom and having a plurality of laterally projecting arms. A paddle-like blade on each of the arms is inclined to the horizontal so as to deflect subsurface wave motion, thereby creating turbulence which dissipates wave action that would cause erosion of the coast.
