When experiments are made in waves, a problem of the reflected waves at the basin wall is very serious. In order to avoid this problem an absorbing wave maker is necessary to be equipped, which has the performance to generate and absorb waves simultaneously. We designed fifty element absorbing wave makers controlled by the micro computer based on our theory, and investigated the configuration of a wave making basin with these absorbing wave makers around the whole of the basin. Using them, we can set up a wave basin having an arbitrary configuration such as circle and ellipse etc. We compared a wave elevation between the experimental results and theoretical ones in the wave making basins with such as configurations.
