While adults love a smooth glassy pool surface to cut through with their steady swim strokes, kids who play in the water just want some wave action. But creating waves requires the movement of enormous amounts of heavy water, which takes a great deal of energy.

Unless you use physics.

That's what the clever engineers at the Belgian-based Wow Company did to invent the Wave Ball.

Wave-generating Wave Balls use a principle of physics called resonance to produce a tremendous amount of water movement and create waves in residential and commercial pools.

Resonance is the property of physics at work when you rock a car out of a ditch or use a long series of small pushes to get going really high on a swing. You're applying a small force in a regular, rhythmic way at exactly the right time to produce a large impressive result.

Wave Balls bounce in rhythm with the waves in a pool, applying a small force at just the right moment to produce higher and higher waves. And the end result turns a flat, placid pool to a wild wave romperroom!

Today, according to the Wow Company, more than 300 Wave Balls are installed in 46 countries worldwide and in facilities ranging from aquatic parks, campground pools, public pools, recreational centers, resorts and aquariums.
