A closed-loop coolant path removes bearing heat inside a below-ambient gyro enclosure, enabling faster flywheel spin-up and steadier boat roll control.
A Kaplan turbine and surge tank keep positive pressure in vessel water return lines, preventing cavitation, foam, vibration, and wasted energy.
Submerged pressure and water-speed sensors let hydrofoils track wave shape and hold hull height without lift loss in swell.
Attitude-based roughness filtering and adaptive deadband cut unnecessary propulsion corrections while holding vessel position and heading in rough seas.
Gain scheduling from ship motion characteristics helps heading control resist wind- and current-driven oscillation without overly slow response.
Multiple sensors and automatic braking thrust help a marine vessel stop momentum and hold position accurately near a docked object.
Near a docking target, the controller adjusts thrust one or two degrees of freedom at a time to reduce oscillation and improve alignment.
An oscillating sliding-tooth electric drive replaces hydraulics in fin stabilizers to cut backlash, simplify maintenance, and avoid oil leakage.
