This utility model discloses an electromagnetic induction heating duct structure for special-coated ship compartments, including an air supply duct with an electromagnetic induction heating coil mounted on it. The air supply duct is made of a magnetically conductive material and is placed in a modular compartment. The modular compartment also includes a cooling system for the air supply duct body. An airflow equalization device is provided on the inner wall of the air supply duct. This utility model is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, resulting in high heating efficiency. A high-frequency current passes through the coil to generate an alternating magnetic field, which excites free electrons within the metal wall of the duct to generate eddy currents. These eddy currents overcome resistance and convert work into heat energy, directly heating the duct wall. The heat energy is transferred to the airflow within the duct through heat conduction, avoiding the inefficient conversion path of traditional electric heating tubes: "electrical energy → radiant energy → air heat energy". Furthermore, it adopts a modular design with high integration. The device is integrated into a box-type modular structure, with the air supply duct and blower housed within the box module. The structure is compact, facilitating installation and maintenance.

A computing apparatus that is integrated within a flotation module, the system obtaining the energy required to power its computing operations from waves that travel across the surface of a body of water on which the flotation module sets. Additionally, the self-powered computing apparatus employs novel designs to utilize its close proximity to the body of water and / or to strong ocean winds to significantly lower the cost and complexity of cooling their computing circuits.
