Buoys TRIZ Cases

Water contact triggers a chemical reaction that inflates a tube, generating buoyant force to retrieve dense electronic devices from underwater environments.

A submarine stores a cable-guided communications buoy in an equipment carrier that moves linearly through the outer skin for deployment.

An automatic buoy system uses high-pressure gas to inflate a bag, deploying instantly without manual intervention to prevent secondary accidents.

Segmented anchor extensions deploy via a controlled cable mechanism to prevent noise, splash, and vegetation damage during deployment.

Segmented stopper members isolate buoyant body heave from anchor lines, reducing pull-in line snatch loads during reconnection.

Motorized payout system raises a submerged antenna above water for data transmission, protecting components from vandalism and corrosion.

An inflatable bladder expands via a compressed fluid canister to lift submerged vehicles, resolving storage volume constraints through nested design.

Conically shaped axial and radial wheels with double curved surfaces roll on circular rails to reduce friction in offshore turret systems.

Segmenting ballast weights into independent units with multi-axis bearings reduces bearing wear and simplifies reorientation during disconnection.

A surfacing device launches a detachable mobile body to transmit data from above water.

A trip line anchor float uses a suspended ballast weight to balance buoyancy and detect dragging.

Hydraulic connectors and conical interfaces enable rapid disconnection of the yoke from the tower during extreme sea states.

A mooring arm with a moveable ballast weight adjusts its position to reduce connecting loads during vessel attachment.

Dynamic buoyancy and stiffness resolve deployment trade-offs while maintaining sensor positional tolerances.

A mooring buoy system routes a reconnection wire through its center channel to align forces along the buoyant body axis.

A spar platform upper hull detaches from a weighted lower module, enabling ice impact avoidance and staged development.

Vertical piles guide dampers to stabilize the hull, resolving space constraints in nearshore logistics hubs.

A mooring buoy locking system uses opposing axial forces to create elastic preloading between the buoy and turret structure.

Rotatable shaft spool feeds tether line through lower body aperture to prevent tangling during deployment of underwater object markers.

Nested collets secure elastic strands that absorb pulling forces, preventing dislodgment caused by wind and wave action.

A reusable bobber release device redirects axial spring force radially outward using a cam mechanism to secure the assembly.

Submersible housing with compressed gas protection minimizes surface visibility and vandalism risk during oceanographic data collection.

Segmenting the lever arm resolves space constraints while maintaining adaptability, reducing corrosion risk through cathodic protection.

An auto-release buoy system deploys a wreck buoy via water pressure activation to mark accident locations.

A submerged rotary joint device uses a protective enclosure to shield mechanical components from marine conditions while allowing continuous rotation.
