ABSTRACT:
A device for stabilizing a floating platform or the like from the roll or heave motions, imparted by wind-maintained waves and regular swells. The platform is supported on a plurality of buoyant pontoons horizontally spaced a variable distance apart in the direction of the wave system. Once the significant wavelength is approximated, the buoyant pontoons are moved to a spacing of a wavelength, of the significant wave, and then continually adjusted to the possibly changing wavelength of the significant wave. These spacing, controlled from the wave system, stabilize the platform because such spacing insures that the lifts from all pontoons at each instant in time are equal.
