In the embodiment according to above-mentioned clauses and subclauses C, the power that acts on the hull is offset/is compensated or balance by some application specific architecture.
Equilibrium problem comprises two aspects, and they can be divided into two components:
Balance/counteracting derives from the side force that quality (being the parts of propulsion system) is quickened; And
Balance/counteracting derives from the side force of waterpower.
And equilibrium problem can also comprise the energy aspect, because carriage 5 required energy circulation have constant component and wobble component by a relatively large margin, they can provide with mode.
Vibration problem solves by second shift element or carriage (being with or without fin) are provided, and this second shift element or carriage are roughly offset the power on above-mentioned disadvantageous oblique one side by careful selection quality, phase shift, amplitude and possible waterpower.
Problem about the energy aspect can solve by following two kinds of proposals, and they can offset the power on the oblique one side that produces owing to fin or thin slice 4 and water mutual effect:
Two shift element are provided, their oscillating mass is equal to each other, therefore constitute system with resonant energy feature, and select its phase shift, make that its phase place of energy circulation is opposite with the energy circulation of system's (carriage and pulse counterweight), thereby constitute bigger system that this bigger system need limit energy in whole circulation and supply with and change, therefore and can drive for example diesel motor, electric drive etc. by common propulsion source; Perhaps

Vibration (preferably should vibration also equate with pulse) can be bigger, and can compensate by quality the fin of reverse motions (rather than by).
Problem about the vibration aspect can solve by second shift element or carriage, thereby because quality is quickened and careful the selection and the counteracting of in-migration mutually of carriage 3 power by the acceleration generation of carriage/shift element, wherein, shift element and carriage have quality, and shown the swing transverse force, this at least partial offset the transverse force that causes by described carriage 5 (comprising the propelling unit of holding 4).
And vibration problem and equilibrium problem can for example change quality by the change mechanical specialities and offset with the structure that changes radius.
As mentioned above, the rotation of propulsion element 4 or pivoted can realize by installing 7.Device 7 can be controlled the thin slice or the fin of flapping, make the obvious flowing angle that the average slope angle of fin causes less than the translatory velocity by the current around the hull and shift element or carriage 5, be used for effective propelling, like this, when pushing ahead, owing to flowing through the lift guiding forward fifty-fifty that fin causes.
