Floating Buildings TRIZ Cases

A split one-side mooring layout routes lines in opposite directions to avoid carrier interference and enable lower-cost side-by-side FLNG offloading.

A mobile floating platform integrates DAC, compression, and CO2 transfer to subsea or offshore injection sites across water depths.

Swivel link bars stabilize a buoyant floating plate and simplify mooring in flowing water.

Positioning the hydrofoil forward of the center of gravity and merging it with aft step formations creates a continuous wing that reduces hull drag.

A clamshell device with magnetized components retrieves unattached halyards from sailboat masts using magnetic attraction.

Headboard cars in luff extrusions eliminate sail slide wear by guiding battens through channels, reducing chafing and torque forces on larger yachts.

A telescopic spinnaker pole adjusts length via a piston mechanism to swing through the fore triangle without detaching from the mast.

Paired vertical columns on a semisubmersible hull reduce motion responses, enabling dry tree production without deep draft complexity.

A mono-hull semi-submersible lowers its continuous lower deck below the splash zone to shield lifting devices from dynamic wave forces during deployment.

Circular pontoon geometry and helical strakes reduce vortex-induced vibrations and fatigue damage in extreme weather conditions.

A flexible sail edge device twists to maintain tautness during furling operations.

Increasing beam-to-draught ratio with lateral bulges reduces rolling movements while maintaining low hydrodynamic resistance across varying speeds.

A high-tailed wing sail uses a vertically positioned tail to harness tip vortex energy for additional propulsion.

Angled cladding on a floating parking barge improves structural stability and hazard protection while overcoming land constraints.

Interconnected scissor trusses synchronize U-shaped support motion to eliminate track binding and prevent wind lift on pontoon boat covers.

Segmented coaxial drums split mechanical loads while a LeverDisc provides leverage to reduce line length and improve safety.

Offset guide conduit redirects flexible pipe loads to reduce localized fatigue on rotational elements.

Curved outer hulls form keel fins acting as hydrofoils at high speed, reducing wave slamming impact on the central hull to improve stability.

Annular constrictions on SWATH lateral hulls lower wave resistance and fuel consumption while maintaining seakeeping stability.

Triangular radial sail with reinforced luff tube and patch reduces mast deflection and undesirable deformation under loading.

Spring-loaded lugs automatically connect the headboard to the headcar, eliminating dangerous mast climbing and enabling safe furling operations.

A watercraft hull combines zero-degree central steps with ultra-high deadrise panels to generate efficient planing lift.

A coupling system uses rigid arm joints and hydraulic pistons to connect floating structures while absorbing wave movements.

A directional floating platform system uses symmetric wings with flow-responsive windows to generate torque for automatic axial alignment.

Removable furling sticks gather sails without permanent mounting, preserving mainsail performance and longevity.

Hinged mast track sections pivot together to absorb wind forces, eliminating sail slide friction locking.

Segmented fingers on a boat keel pad reduce drag and lift while avoiding retrofitting difficulties that compromise hull integrity.

A folding boat uses an internal rigid frame with hinged stringer tubes nested in a waterproof skin for rapid manual assembly.
