Shipboard propulsive complex

FIELD: shipbuilding; construction of marine sail and rotor propulsive complexes employing wind energy.

SUBSTANCE: proposed shipboard propulsive complex has rotor and sail propulsors and electric power source. Used as electric power source are electric wave generators; each generator includes magnetic armature connected with float and placed in vertical guide made from non-conducting material in form of perforated tube for communication with surrounding medium; electric generators are also provided with stators enclosed in magnetic circuit and placed in boxes embracing the guides. Masts and rotors may be telescopic in construction for stowing them inside ship. It is good practice to protect the generators with shields.

EFFECT: reduced consumption of fuel due to enhanced efficiency of employment of wave energy.

The invention relates to shipbuilding, namely the construction of vessels, using the power of wind.

Known sailing vessel [1]. It is characterized by a poor performance in courses other than the wind.

Known rotary vessel [2]its lower section, works well in crosswind and is not effective when associated.

It is also known and accepted by us for the prototype vessel containing the rotor, which may be disclosed and used as a sail [3]. This vessel is quite effective in either direction of the wind.

Its disadvantage is the high cost of fossil fuel when the engine rotates the generator.

The aim of the invention is to reduce the cost of fossil fuels.

This goal is achieved by the fact that in ship propulsion complex, including rotary and sail propulsion and power source, as the source of electricity used wave generators, each comprising an anchor of permanent magnets connected to the float and placed with the possibility of reciprocating motion in a vertical guide, made of electroconductive material in the form of a tube with holes, informing her of the internal cavity with the environment, and the stator windings are enclosed in a magnetic circuit and placed in a box, the coverage of the living body of the guide.

In addition, the mast and the rotor is telescopic and retractable into the hull.

In addition, there is the computer that controls the operation of the mechanisms and electrical circuit of the ship.

In addition, there are signs that protects wave generators from a collision with any objects.

In addition, there is a backup and engine propeller propeller.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, on which: figure 1 is a vessel with extended masts and cleaned the rotors, figure 2 - the same with the retracted mast and advanced rotors, 3 - wave generator.

Ship propulsion complex includes a housing 1 with electric telescopic mast 2 and RES 3 with 4 sails, telescopic rotor 5, a battery 6, and secured along the sides of the wave generators 7, protected by shields 8. Each of the wave generator consists of anchors, collected from 9 magnetic and nonmagnetic 10 parts connected to the float 11 with the rod 12 and placed in a vertical guide 13, is made of electroconductive material in the form of a tube with holes 14, telling her cavity with the environment. The winding 15 of the stator is enclosed in a magnetic circuit and placed in a box 16, covers the body of the guide 13. As part of the ship has a computer, the wheel 17 and back on the 18 " with the rowing screw 19.

The ship is controlled by computer commands according to the specified rate in accordance with the direction and force of wind. With a fair wind clean the inside of the vessel telescopic rotors 5, raise and push the telescopic mast 2, the rotation Rey 3 deploy the sails. In the case of side wind lift and telescopic pushing the rotors 5, turn on yards sails 4, shift and clean the inside of the vessel telescopic mast 2. When changing direction and wind strength raise or lower the telescopic mast 2 and the rotor 5, install the necessary number of deployed sails and the rotation angle of the steering wheel 7 and 2 masts.

The electricity produced by a wave generator. Under the action of waves in each wave generator float 11 moves up and down and through the rod 12 transmits reciprocating motion to the anchor. Magnetic lines of force of the armature cross the coils of the winding 15 of the stator, inducing EMF in them. Electric current from winding 15 after the rectifier is supplied to the actuator mechanisms of the ship or on batteries.

In the calm movement of the vessel are carried out using the back of the engine 18. In the absence of agitation used stored energy of the battery 6.

Thus, when any wind direction ensures the efficient and safe operation of the vessel. Backing the engine is running neznacit the function of the time of operation of the vessel and consumes, accordingly, a small amount of fuel.
