FR3035067A1 - INSTALLATION OF A MONOCOQUE SAILING WIND TURBINE AND TRIMARAN SAILBOAT WITHOUT SIDE SAILING MACHINES - Google Patents

Abstract

The innovation concerns monohull and multihull sailboats (catamaran - trimaran) without mat with side sails. The innovation is to install on sailboats one or more vertical wind turbines above the sails (2) frame (1). arranged on each side of the hull (3) This is possible because there is no mast nor sail nor shrouds. The vertical wind turbine (4) is placed on a shock absorber of the anti-seismic type (5) carried by a structure (6). This structure (6) is carried in the bottom of the hull, on another damper (7) to isolate the structure (6) of the hull (3) and avoid vibrations in the ship. The vertical wind turbine (4) serves to charge the accumulators that power the electric motors of the sailboat without mat with lateral sails

Description

Vertical wind turbines for: Sailboat without sails with side sails and in particular trimaran without mat Sailboats with sails The innovation is to equip a trimaran without mat, sailboat with side sails of one or more wind turbines arranged on the upper part of the ship. top of the chassis door side sails. This is possible because this trimaran has neither mat, nor mainsail, nor shrouds.

Figure (1) The trimaran without mat, is equipped with chassis (2) door sails pneumatic rolls (1) The wind turbine (4) is a vertical wind turbine, Darrieus type, Savonius or other, placed above the center gravity of the hull (3) of this vessel to maintain stability The wind turbine is placed above the side sails (2) of the naVire-.

Figure (2) The wind turbine (4) is placed on a shock absorber, or silent block, (5) of the anti-seismic damping type so as to avoid the transmission of vibrations to the hull of the ship The damper is supported by a structure (6) independent of the hull of the ship. Similarly, the structure (6) is placed on an earthquake damper (7) on the base (8) of the hull of the ship, to prevent the transmission of vibrations. In any rotational movement there is the production of vibrations and these dampers would also make it possible to avoid transmitting a resonance phenomenon The use of these anti-seismic shock absorbers, will be recommended for each installation of vertical wind turbines on sailboats-monohulls or trimarans without mat, with side sails. The vertical wind turbine has the advantage of producing electricity in good wind Beaufort 3-4 (-20 / 25 km hour) in each direction of wind. The production of electricity is necessary in these sailboats with side sails, because the movements of the frame sails are controlled by electric motors. These wind turbines will be interesting auxiliaries for the charge of accumulators supplying these engines. It is impossible to place them on the classic trimarans with big mat, shrouds and mainsail. Vertical wind turbines and anti-seismic silent blocks are of the type commonly used in commerce.

Claims (3)

CLAIMS1) Monohull or multihull sailboat characterized in that it does not wear vertical mats 5 for the sails, and in that the vertical mats are replaced by side sails (1) carried by sails carriers ( 2) arranged on each side of the hull (3) and which can take an angle of 0 ° to 90 °, with the hull (3), together or separately, according to the needs of navigation .. 2) Monohull or multihull sailboat according to the preceding claim 10 characterized in that it is possible to place on the upper deck of the vessel one or more vertical wind turbines (4) producing the electricity necessary for lithium-ion accumulators (or other) supplying the engines of the ship 3) sailing monohull or multihull according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the vertical wind turbines (4) are placed, to reduce the vibrations 15 on absorbers or silent block, anti-seismic (5), arranged on a structure (6) connected to the hull (3) by shock absorbers or silent block, anti-seismic (7)
