Subject field(s)
  • Minesweeping and Minehunting
  • Magnetism
CONT

The application of [a] degaussing system started during the World War II to prevent the naval ships from magnetic mines and torpedoes. When the ship used to come near a magnetic mine or a magnetic torpedo, the magnetic field of the ship used to actuate the firing mechanism and cause the mine or torpedo [to] explode. Thus, degaussing systems were installed to counteract the ship's magnetic field by cancelling the changes in earth's field around the hull of the ship.

Subject field(s)
  • Maneuvering of Ships
CONT

An air bubble system was introduced on Baltic icebreaking vessels in the 1970s. The system uses one or more air compressors to force air through nozzles at the ship's side below the water-line. The air bubbles rise to the surface together with entrained water, lubricating the interface between the ice and the ship's hull, both above and below the water-line.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Manœuvre des navires
CONT

Un système de production de bulles d'air (bullage) a été adopté pendant les années 1970 dans les brise-glace de la Baltique. Ce système utilise un ou plusieurs compresseurs pour pulser de l'air dans des buses latérales au-dessous de la ligne de flottaison. Les bulles montent à la surface avec l'eau entraînée, lubrifiant la zone de contact entre les glaces et la coque, tant au-dessus qu'au-dessous de la ligne de flottaison.

StratSat provides a geo-stationary platform at 20 km altitude capable of remaining on-station for up to five years. Payloads include high speed Internet services, direct broadcast TV, mobile telecommunication, etc. The envelope operates as a super-pressure hull(i. e. with no ballonet pressure control system). The hull will be of laminated fabric construction with Tedlar/Teflon, helium/weather barrier developed from AT-10/04. Multiple catenary curtain system supporting a payload module enclosed completely by the envelope. [The] payload module... comprises a single structural module with an externally mounted payload/mission system. The payload module provides a home for all of the airship's primary systems except for the propulsion system. The systems are close packed within the highly insulated module ensuring efficient heat and energy management. The payload module is pendulum stabilised within the envelope. The solar array provides the sole source of renewable energy for the airship. The array is placed over the upper quarter of the hull and extends over approximately three-quarters of the length of the craft. The array can be realigned to the daily sun location/angle by the roll rotation of the whole airship. The energy collected by the solar array is stored for use during the night in the series of batteries. Located in the stored for use during the night in a series of batteries. Located in the payload module, the batteries run the propulsion system, airship services and provide power to the mission system for up to 14 hours(during winter). The airship is propelled and steered by means of a ’Contra-Rotating Coned Rotor’ mounted on a tailcone at the rear of the envelope, as a part of a compound propulsion system. The unit provides longitudinal thrust(to counter the prevailing stratospheric winds) and lateral force(for manoeuvering) to enable the airship to hold station within a 1 km cube. The airship will be equipped with a multi-channel Flight Control Sy

At the time the Vasa was raised, in 1961, there were no conventional techniques adequate to preserve such an enormous artifact.... While new methods were being worked on, the ship was enclosed in a large storage house.... The sprinkler system was the best solution. To arrest the rotting, a soluble compound of seven parts boric acid and three parts of borax was mixed with fresh water and sprayed over the entire hull.... to stabilize the wood and keep it from shrinking and cracking, the ship was sprayed with a solution of polyethylene glycol(PEG) and fresh water.

BARNAKIL Electronic Antifouling system. BARNAKIL is a system for inhibiting the attachment of barnacles and other aquatic life forms to near-surface underwater structures, such as boat hulls, thereby saving fuel and maintenance costs. The BARNAKIL system consists of up to 16 individual audio frequency electromagnetic transducers(resonators) distributed over the interior of the boat hull, microprocessor-controlled from a water resistant central unit. BARNAKIL virtually eliminates the accumulation of barnacles and mussels. Dramatic reductions in the attachment of algae and slime have been achieved.

Le système BARNAKIL est constitué de transducteurs (jusqu'à 16) électromagnétiques à audiofréquences (résonateurs), répartis à l'intérieur de la coque du bateau et commandés à partir d'une unité centrale étanche à l'eau, renfermant un microprocesseur. BARNAKIL élimine presque totalement l'accumulation de bernacles et de moules. On a également obtenu des baisses radicales dans le cas des algues et de la vase.

Generally, several motors, termed thrusters, are located on the hull or hulls of the structure and are actuated by a sensing system. The sensing system may make use of radio, radar, or acoustic sensors, which feed signals to a computer. The computer then directs the thrusters to maintain the rig on location.

Thrusters are labeled as such because it is their purpose to produce thrust in given conditions of current speed and submergence. Thrusters, in general, include all types of devices that can produce thrust.
