near to Paignton, Torbay, Great Britain
Ripples on Paignton Sands
After becoming fascinated by the subject while staying at Margate in 1901, Hertha Ayrton produced a paper in 1904 entitled "The Origin and Growth of Ripple-mark", which gives a persuasive argument for the creation of ripples from the oscillating motion of wavelets across the beach. Link
"Later this led to study of vortices in fluids, including the Ayrton fan, a hand-operated device for deflecting waves of poison gases from the trenches of First World War." Link
