Dam-Atoll: a concrete dome-shaped shell with floats just beneath the surface of the sea. Because the device also has some of the characteristics of a dam, its inventors have named it Dam-Atoll. As waves approach the structure, at intervals of about ten seconds, they begin to spiral and form breakers against the top of the dome; the water is channelled by guide vanes into an inlet in the top of the dome, forming a swirling column in the 60 feet-deep chamber of the vertical core. There it drives a shaft-mounted turbine-the only moving part-which drives a generator mounted on top of the Dam-Atoll
