Benefits of technology

0016] So the hydrofoil obtains the maximum possible hydraulic pressure from waving water masses and the submarine has minimum water resistance and zero wind load.

Problems solved by technology

Many of these are failed because the water surface ships do not provide proper conditions for a wave-powered (WP-) propellor like a h

Embodiment Construction

[0043] 1. Submarine wave powered (WP) propulsion system. Basic design. Claim 1.

[0044] The basic design of submarine WP propulsion system (FIG. 8) consists of two elastically deflecting foils 38 attached to a submarine sail with arms 36 and holders 37. On tested submarine model the holders has held the foils 38 with glue bond 43 (FIG. 9) via elastic strip 42 functioning as a torsion. Because the eccentricity E presents here the wave hydraulic head P deflects the foils around axis's Y creating vertical and horizontal components of the force P. Tremendous inertia forces of the body mass 39 equilibrate the vertical components L while the horizontal components T are thrusts propelling the submarine model.

[0045] Notice.

[0046] The scheme of thrust generation is shown also for a submarine using its expandable diving rudders 2 (FIG. 7) as spare WP propulsion plant. We see three positions of the submarine sail 1. If the wave moves to right (with velocity W) then an ascending wave front angles...

Abstract

The wave powered (WP) propulsion systems developed in great amount for boats are not in use because of small effectiveness caused by rocking process reducing propellor stroke relatively water. Submarines and special quasi-dipped watercrafts deprived of this disadvantage. Their bodies keeps stable the propellors mounted on conning towers or special props owing to the body's great mass. This factor multiplies the WP propellor effectiveness meeting Navy and Merchant fleet requirements. The invention includes designs of: spare WP propulsion plant embedded into submarine diving rudders or folded into pockets of the submarine sail, quasi-dipped watercraft carrying multiple foil WP propulsion system, quasi-dipped tug towing submerged tank, self optimized foil propellor. Experiences with submarine models equipped by the WP propellers have shown excellent results. Expected velocities for submarine 4-7 knots, for the quasi-dipped watercraft 5-15 knots. The folded spare WP propulsion plant does not interrupt submarine functioning.

Description

[0001] The invention has no analogues.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED R & D[0002] The author created the invention by himself with own means in duty free time.REFERENCE TO A MICROFICHE APPENDIX[0003] Not Applicable.[0004] Endeavor: Most efforts developing or improving existing submarine propulsion systems are directed basically on two kinds of them: nuclear and diesel systems. In both cases a submarine needs some type of fuel with nuclear or chemical ingredients. Usage the second one limits a range of a submarine independent operating distance. Both types of the propulsion systems never become absolutely reliable and noiseless.[0005] Here we suggest the new kind submarine propulsion system, which was not considered before. It is a WP propulsion system. This asserts clear that a submarine needs contact with waving water surface or with subsurface layer, i.e. it does not certainly need to emerge fully. Rather it emerges only by its conning tower, a part of it or without coming...
