Abstract

A mobile marine barrier system comprises a raisable barrier member (S) held between two supporting pump rigs and is adapted to be movable within a body of water. Each pump rig is operated by a small manned crew who tend to the running of the onboard equipment and technology to enable an efficient, reliable and safe barrier to provide protection towards a fragile coastline from either storm surge, or Tsunami. In use a number of barrier systems could be connected together, with one pump rig being positioned between each barrier member, to extend the length of coastline to be protected by the barrier system. Each barrier member is adapted to suit different requirements, according to each threat it is to defend against. Each pump rig is designed with a shaped protective hood, to protect against impacts. Also to aid the barrier system in remaining in its original vicinity, wind towers (A) are provided to channel air downwards towards a directional propulsion system, to enable mobility and flexible legs and feet (R, Fig 4) are provided in the base of each pump rig to secure them to the seabed.

Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Overview Barrier chain', Birds eye view This is a bird's eye' view of what can be seen from directly above the Cradle Barrier System'. This is how this system will look like once linked up together along a given required area of coast line.

Along any coast line any where in the world there is always weaknesses, these weaknesses are often recognized after a stonn surge' or tidal surge' either from a tropical storm or a naturally occurring event such as a Tsunami'*.

The weaknesses are often caused by fluctuations of the geological distribution of rocky formations further out towards the sea* *. Along every Continental shelf there are differences of how the distribution of geology plays it self out**.

The purposes of this concept are to protect these weak' areas of coastline which are susceptible to frequent natural events such as Tropical storm' or Tsunami', also secondly to provide an ongoing source of fresh water' to required areas for usage either domestic, commercial or industrial. Finally as a third purpose providing a chance for liquid pollution to be contained instead of just allowing spills etc to contaminate coastal areas.

Also this Cradle Barrier System' acts as a doubling measure of protection for coastal defense against forever rising sea levels, which in turn also weaken existing defenses by generating natural resource loss either from continuing supply & demand disturbing natural ecological surroundings through this process.

Mobile Marine Barrier Cradle System' Drawing Two Internal view -Pump rig II' Following the original design description logged in the pump rig' description in part four, this design is just the same with the same internal specification. The only difference being this has modified to suit a possible solution for a common threat of tsunami' and storm surge' and also to suit recovery for long term damage inflicted onto the vulnerable lands, by supplying the affected areas with ongoing supplies of fresh water.

A -The support legs Just like in the first model, these legs' will be able to support the pump rig' by aiding buoyancy because of there split internal design and angles -cradling' -the shape of the rig. Also providing the rig with added stability as described in the original description for the pump rig and also described within the Technical

drawing's description 3.1, 3.2'

B -The Base' This is pump rig's foundation within this base' there are three decks. The decks are functional and layered accordingly for each of the deck's function. Each of the decks functions are described within the Technical drawing description 3.2.'.

Also in this model of Pump rig' the base houses the connection rod at the rear of the rig; shown in drawing three as add on' feature for this models purpose.

C -The filter /punps This is where the relevant technology required to pump the sea water through a series of filters sized accordingly to the requirements will be located.

This is also where the brime' or salinity and marine particle pollution' will gather, following pump design* the pollution and the fresh water will be pumped through the internal Main Water Funnel G 11/Ill'. This can be achieved by taken advantage of the water pumps internal design. The pollution and water is pumped in through the Main Water Funnel G' and then separated via filtration. The water goes into Qi' and out through Q', the pollution goes out through G' and into Hi' (from overview drawing) the pollution pods at the rear of the pump rig.

Reference: 1/ (*) www.wavernill.com -SWRO' Desalination designed pump D -Main access location This is the primary access point for the operational crew, access can be achieved via the use of miniature submercival vehicles*. This form of transport is preferred because of the harsh working conditions the Cradle Barrier System' will have to endure, meaning that it will be both environmentally, ecologically and safe for the operational crew to use as apposed to conventional fossil fuel run transport.

DII -Emergency access ladder This is the secondary access point for the operational crew to use. Also in emergency the crew can use it for quickness and for maintenance access, i.e. either for mechanical aid (as the connection rod is manually controlled) or if there is an unexpected natural event like a Tsunami' that hasn't been registered with the proposed early warning systems**.

DIII -Connection rod operational access Shown as two small triangles' towards the rear of the base's top deck, these are the hatch's doors. This is where the operational crew can gain access to the connection rod's gearing shaft Dlv' which enables the crew to operate the barrier via the connection rod. This is described and shown in grater detail within the Technical drawing 4.0'.

DIV -Connection rod's operational gearing shaft' This is how the operational crew gain control over the connection rod', the details for the internal functions of how the gearing mechanism works and how the crew operates them is described within the Technical drawing description 4.0'.

Reference; 1/ (*) www.silvercrestsubmarines.co.uk -shows types of vehicles' for marine usage 2/ (* *) www.news.bbc.couk!1/hi/worldlsouth asial43 321 09.stm E -Pump rig's Hood This is the rig's hood', the hoods function and shape is to deflect oncoming natural large movements of water. The hood shown within the drawing as the solid shaped lined frontal section of the pump rig'.

The hood extends from the roof of the dome from either side of the dome and elapsed over each side of the front of the rig, reaching right down to the foot of the base. The area and size of the hood is designed to be attached to the rig to enable greater protection against damage to the connection rod, the rear of the rig and the operational crew onboard.

The shape at the front of the hood' is shaped to absorb the energy from the oncoming wave and deflect the physical wave back outwards on itself back outwards towards the sea away from the Cradle Barrier System's chain' and ultimately away from the coastline that could be devastated without this protection.

Also once the Barrier' is raised, the front of the barrier and the hood will form a unilateral shape right along to strengthen the barrier chain.

F -Connection rod's face F' represents the connection rod's face, this is where the rig's connection rod T' meets the Barrier's rod'. The connection between the barrier and the pump rig is made through this face' and made more secure from the following features; FT -Connection rod's Teeth' The connection rod's teeth' interlock with the barriers outer teeth' T8'. During placement manoeuvres, the barrier is lined up with the connection rod's face then the barrier is pushed closer so that both sets of teeth are lined up. Once in position the teeth from the rig automatically fit inside the barrier's teeth, once inside the teeth slip inside then the teeth's heads expand to lock and ultimately seal the ban-icr with the rig i.e. lock and fit mechanism.

Ff1 -Connection rod's outer seal The connection process between the rig and the barrier does not have to be precise; this outer seal aids the security because it helps the teeth fit together more securely.

As they touch a vacuum of air between the rig's outer seal and as the barrier's outer seal T9'is designed with magnetic strips within the seals circular shaped design, this together with the vacuum of air helps to pull the two sets of teeth together.

A vacuum is created from the surrounding air as the two pieces move closer together, also the seal helps to protect the internal compressed air chamber T5' within the barrier as this is directly behind the barrier's outer seal T9'.

Fill -Connection rod's Core' The core of the rig's connection rod, this is described in detail within the Technical drawing 4.0'.

G -Main Water Funnel exit point This is where and how any water pollution will leave the pump rig, through this funnel on towards the pollution pods at the rear of the pump rig as shown within the overview drawing'.

The internal functions and layout is described within the Technical drawing 1.0'.

GI -Main Water Funnel's internal gate As described within the Technical drawing 1,0','gate' shifis through the control of the on board crew to allow the pumped' water to be pumped into the connection rod instead to provide water to aid the filling of the barrier.

Gil -Main Water Funnel's internal pipe This is the main internal funnel pipe, this is where and how the water travels from the water holding area H' to the exit point.

Gill -Main Water Funnel's internal valve This internal valve regulates the amount of water which is pumped from the ocean to the holding area H' through to the pipes and pollution pods.

The valve although mechanical has got a manual override in case of emergency and because of off loading of pollution from the pods, this is controlled by remote via the control deck by the operational crew.

H -Main water holding area' This is the main water holding area; this is where the water that has been pumped' will first is held. This holding is important because it helps onboard regulation of measuring and monitoring the amounts of fresh water that will be pumped through from the ocean, this is achieved through monitoring and measurement sensors along the spacer deck III' controlled by computers via the control deck I'.

I -Control deck location This is where all the computers and relevant equipment to help the operational crew run this rig will be housed.

J -Working deck location The upper working deck is for al the operational crew to work this deck from. Also with this model of rig it houses access to the upper deck L', which houses their on board accommodation needs.

K -Upper power shafts This power shaft represents how the reserved energy or power will travel down through the decks towards the base of the rig -where most of the power is needed (C' the water pumps).

Ku -Spacer deck Through from travelling via the upper power shaft K', the power will then travel through and along internally the spacer deck. Also the spacer deck is there to act like a protective divider between the upper decks and the held' water below.

Kill -Lower power shaft This lower power shaft is where and how the energy travels through from the upper decks through the held' water and through to where it is needed most down at C' the water pumps.

L -Upper deck This deck houses all the relevant accommodation needs for the operational crew and it also houses the primary equipment for creating the energy via the dome structure the rig needs.

N -Communications Anteima The main communications antenna, this receives all the messages from the Cradle Barrier System's surrounding rigs and all the messages from the early warning system* to enable the operational crew to activate the barrier in time for any action and protection that is required for that area i.e. from an impending Tsunami' or an oncoming storm surge'.

Reference: I / (*) www.news.bbc.co.ukIl /hi/worldlsouth asia!4332 1 09.stm -communication can be inter linked with Cradle Barrier system' from the tsunami' warning centre whom monitors the integrated buoy' and wave measuring devices.

M -Dome structure This is the main structure that the rig has, within this structure all the working functions of this rig is housed. This is why a dome shaped structure is best as apposed to a boxed shape block because of the vast energies involved in combating or migrating storm surge or tsunami. If the oncoming energy is too great for the Cradle Barrier System' to completely hold back i.e. if the storm surge or wave is too tall, long or powerful than what isn't held back won't destroy the inner functions by simply diverting the energy around the dome and rig instead of straight into the path of the water.

This structure is also used as an energy transfer structure because of its shape, it is beneficial to use a dome shaped structure when collecting solar energy from a remote exposed location. The outer skin just like model one's dome, is layered with solar panels * relevant energy enhancing technology** capturing required energy for the functions of the rig's equipment onboard o -Directional propeller housing The slim lined box represents the housing for the Directional propellers', the internal functions of this box' and the propellers is described within drawing four.

P -Propulsion propellers housing The outer slim lined box represents the housing for the Propulsion propellers', the functions and how they work are described within drawing four.

0-Flexible hose' pipe hook up point This broken lined point represents the connection point for the flexible hose pipe' which is described within the Technical drawing 2.0' with the description of the internal functions. This is basically where and how the pumped fresh water gets off the rig and into the pipes laid below within the sea floor.

01 -Internal water molecular protective filter This internal filter is sized accordingly to the molecular mass, weight and size of fresh water as shown in the periodic elemental table for chemistry***the molecular structure of fresh water is different from any other water based pollution including salt.

Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Drawing Three Pump Rig IT; Birdseye view This is the view taken from above, from here in simple form; it shows how the complex feature structures such as the hood' and the connection rod' turn out to be of a simple structure layout instead.

Al Support Legs; These marked boxed regions of the outer circle represent the support legs. From above the view allows the internal workings to be shown as well. The Technical drawing

description 3.2 details the internal workings.

B/The top deck of the base of the rig; The outer circle shown in this drawing represents the base or foundation of the rig. The base has fully functional internal layers or decks which are detailed and described within the Technical drawing 3.2'.

DII! Emergency Ladder; The striped long double line' running from the inner circles I and J' represents the secondary crew access point or the emergency ladder'. This reaches up to the control deck I' and down towards the base's top deck. This has two purposes as described within drawing two.

Dull Maintenance Hatch; This is the operational crew's access to the connection rod's control room. Technical drawing 4.0 details the functions of this room.

E/ Hood; The hood' of this rig is split into three sections (for ease of building purposes), this view shows the roof' of the hood', The other two sections are shown in drawing one; the lower section which wraps itself around the outer sides and the belly of the rig, the other section is the face' of the hood', this section is shaped to fit in to the shaped frontal section of the barrier for once it is raised to form a unilateral shape to deflect greater energy.

F! Rod connection point; The part that protrudes from the rear of the rig marked T' is the connection rod, the connection points are marked F'. These points are at the ends of the connection rod they are shaped with the teeth Fl' showing to allow for connection between Barriers and rigs'.

The internal functions of this rod and the connection points are fully described within drawing two.

GI Main water funnel exit point; This is the exit point for the internal main water funnel' as shown from above. The internal water funnel is described within drawing two.

11 Control deck; The outer inner circle shown within this view, the control deck is situated directly below the working deck as both are located within the dome structure. The functions of this deck are described within drawing two.

JI Working deck; The foremost inner circle shown with this view is the working deck as described in drawing two and above the location is within the dome's structure.

LI Upper deck; The foremost circle represented as L' is the highest deck within the dome's structure this deck has internal functions which is described within drawing two.

NI Antenna; The spot at the centre of this drawing represents the communications mast, as with the other area the internal functions are described within drawing two.

M/ Dome; This is the dome structure which is represented as the inner wide circle within this view.

The dome structure houses all the functional equipment bar the support legs, this is described also within drawing two.

TI The connection rod; This is the connection rod, this runs the length of the pump rig and the barrier, In fact when it is all linked and joined it forms the main supportive and functional rod' throughout the entire Cradle Barrier chain'. The internal functions are described within drawings Five, Six, Seven and Nine. The internal operational controls are described within the Teclmical drawing 4.0 Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Drawing Four Pollution Pods"Hl' Birdseye view H1AJ The main pod -like structure, this will be a sphere -like pod. These pods will be spheres in shape form, because this will help to increase the volume of alkaline' water the pods will hold. Sphere shaped pods are more lightly to float better and this will suit the surrounding environment they would be placed in -the ocean's surface.

Also to aid the pollution and nutrient pods to float, they will be designed with a hollow gas filled shell. Helium gas is used in hot air balloons to make them rise up, so the same process is used to help wreck recovery easier by allowing sunken vessels to be lifted back up to the surface during recovery.

This process can be used to help the aid of floatation for these pollutionlnutrient pods.

H1B! The outer structure, this is the outer shell which helps the sphere-pod to float and also to help the other pods keep formation to prevent pods from drifting away.

This outer shell will have a gas filled interior to allow floatation as described above, also the outer structure will be designed to join up with the other pods.

H1C/ Pollution funnels, these funnels will provide a tube like access for the water and nutrients to travel between the pods.

On the far sides of the pods shown in the drawing, there are access points for the purpose of off loading the liquid pollution from the pods. These points will be operated manually from the relevant vessels to carry the alkaline water from the pods to its destination.

HiD! The filters, these filters are for the pollution to pass through enabling accurate readings of how clean' or fresh' the contained water is.

In the case of the nutrients, the use of these filters will allow an accurate reading of how balanced the nutrients are in comparison to the ones which are needed to help maintain the balance within the sink holes.

Also within the filters there will be a pressure filter' allowing for the accurate reading of air pressure within the pod system or layout between the pods, this will be needed as it would tell if there would be a half empty pollution pod or a leak in the layout of the pods system.

This will come into play especially as when it would be time for off loading the pollution into relevant vessels.

Internal and Horizontal view; H1A! The main structure of the pod, this is a sphere' shaped pod. Sphere shaped because of buoyancy within water, these pods will be submerged near the surface of the water. Also the structure will have to be resilient against salt and chemical erosion as placement of these pods will be within hazardous' working environments.

H1BI The outer support structure, as described in the birds eye' view this structure is a hollow structure filled with gas to help and aid buoyancy and aid the formation of these pods.

H1C/ These are the funnels in which the pollution will travel through during operations either from collecting via the pump rig' or during off loading to the relevant vessel to deliver the pollutions to mainland either for recycle or study.

H1C/D/ The funnel filters, these filters as described within the internal view' will allow access for the pollutions to pass cleanly through either from one pod to another or to the vessels for off loading. Also they help by sealing the funnels by not allowing any sea water to enter the pollutions as they pass through or to allow any pollution to leak into the sea water at the same time.

Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Drawing Four Pump Rig II; Underneath view This is the view from underneath the pump rig. All the circles represent the relevant working equipment housing locations necessary for aiding the rig's safety and purpose.

Al Support legs base area; The outer broken lined area circling the rig's belly' represents the area in which the support legs provide stability through creating an air cushion. This area is that air cushion the actual air cushion is within the base's lower decks described within the Technical drawing 3.2. The straight lined area marked off north and south, are the areas in which the support legs take up above the base's decks.

B! Base of rig; The whole underside of the rig's belly except for E' and T' with F' is the base's underside. B' is not marked as it takes up all if the main drawing. The functions and internal workings of how the support leg's internal air cushion works is described within

the Technical drawing description 3.2

Cl Filters; The inner circular area marked' C' represents the area where the pumps and filters make contact with the ocean's surface. This area is not seen except form this view as it is protected by the outer structure B', the functions of these pumps and filters' are described and made reference to within drawing two.

D/ Submarine access points; This foremost inner area marked D' is where the operational crew can gain access to the rig via the use of sub-mercival craft i.e. miniature submarines, the reasons for this mode of transportation is described within drawing two.

El Hood; This is the third section of the hood', as seen from underneath the rig. The double line represents the face' of the hood this is the area which it is shaped to face the oncoming energy created from natural events i.e. Tsunami or storm surge'.

Eli Hood folding points'; The underside of the second section of the hood, as described within drawing three the lower section of the hood wraps itself around the rigs structure. From underneath it folds' itself to connect with the belly of the rig's base. As described in drawing three the whole hood is split into three sections for ease of building and construction.

F! Connection point for rod to barrier; The areas shaped like teeth' are in fact Fl' as seen from this view. As described in drawing two the shaped teeth' interlock with the barrier's teeth' to lock the barrier with the rig to help form the Cradle Barrier chain formation' along any required (coastal) area in which the need for this protection is needed.

G/ Main water funnel exit point; The main exit point for all the pumped' water pollution, from the rig to pollution pods HI' as shown in the overview drawing.

0/ Directional Propellers; These inner smaller circled versions of the outer larger circles represent the directional propellers and the housing for them. These propellers are used to maintain directional stability either during operations or maneuvering the rig into position as also required for re-adjusting operational position due to coastal tidal currents and bad weather.

Pt Propulsion propellers The larger outer circles represent the propulsion propellers; these are designed in such a way to have indirect contact with the water. This means the propellers are not disturbing the surface of the water directly. They are designed to sit just above the water surface line. The internal functions of how they aid stability and work or function is described within the Technical drawing 3.2. They are located towards the outer reaches of the rig's belly for stability and energy purposes.

Q/ Flexible Pipe hook up point; This is where the proposed flexible hose pipe will connect to the pump rig. The proposed pipe's description is described within the Technical drawing 2.1, including the description for the hook up point' is also described Technical drawing 2.1 RI Flexible Feet housing; The inner circles marked R' represent the housing locations for the flexible feet', the smaller circles represent the feet', the internal functions and workings are described within the Technical drawing 2.2 T/ Connection rod; This large long area at the rear of the rig as also described in drawing three represents the connection rod. As detailed within drawing three, the internals and functions are described throughout the following drawings five, six, seven and nine.

The operational crew has control over the functions through manually operated controls, they are described and shown within the Technical drawing 4.0, 4.1

Description Part Four

Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Drawing Five Barrier; Outside view This view allows to show what the Barrier' would like from the outside, looking side on, this drawing shows the principal outer functions such as the connection rod's face T' and the water inlet/out let slats W'.

S/ Barrier; This is the barrier from looking at the side, from this view it is easy to understand the basic function of the barrier by looking at its shaped front X' and how it joins to the pump rig through T6, T7'.

TI Connection Rod; This is the connection rod's connective face, it is split into three sections to ensure secure connection with the pump rig. The actual length of the rod can be seen through looking at the overview drawing, once joined up the connection rod runs right along the entire length of any chain of any given Cradle Barrier System'.

T81 Connection rod's teeth'; These are the teeth' on the Barriers side, these teeth are grooved inlets for to allow the teeth from the rig to fit in and inter lock with once the rig and the barrier joins during placement.

T9/ Connection rod's outer seal; This inner circle is the outer seal on the barriers side, this seal creates a vacuum of air the same as the other seal on the rigs side. The cushion of air acts like a vacuum to assist placement of the barrier to the rig. This is achieved because of two reasons; the seals are magnetic with charged strips within the seal's circular shaped designs and secondly the surrounding air trapped between the barrier and the rig's seals assist by creating a cushion of air so that actual placement between barrier and rig moves smoothly.

W/ Water Intake/Out take slats'; These inlets/outlet slats act like fish gills, similar to the fish breathing in water these slats' move in a similar fashion, except as the barrier lowers water is allowed through the slats from the base through the outer slats via their movement outward. As the barrier raises upwards, the water is allowed through them as the barrier moves upwards through the water. (Copying fish gills except opposite effect and movements) X/ Barrier Hood face; This is the hood's third section, the face of the hood. This face is shaped to allow greater deflection of oncoming energies such as storm surge or Tsunami' as in both cases the overall wave length of both threats are measurable but unknown until they strike. Using this shaped front deflects the physical wave into the wave and forcing it back towards itself-migrating the physical energy and destructive power from the barrier chain.

TI Connection Rod; This circular area represents the connection rod from looking inside from side on, the internal functions of this rod can be seen and are described throughout this description and drawing seven.

Ti! Water hose' rod connection; The foremost inner circle represents the connection hose for the water to travel through from the pump rig. This is connected to the pump rig via the connection rod's face shown as a small circle within the core's drawing. This is also described within drawing nine.

The hose connects through sealing once the rig and the barrier closes together during placement.

The water is sprayed in through a tube through from the pump rig's internal Main Water Funnel' through GI' the internal water gate and through to here via the connection rods core drawing nine'.

Then it is pumped from the rig's pumps, within the barrier upwards towards T7', then it is sprayed into the barrier's open internal front to assist filling of the water within the open front as the barrier itself is raised and at the same time with the movement of the internal face Y' to allow the barrier to patricianly fill up with water to form a free standing body of water' so that it could absorb the oncoming energy released from an oncoming source such as a Tsunami'.

T2! Rod pulley' system; This is how the barrier's internal face' moves backwards and forwards. This is achieved through the core of the rod's connection rod, the controls of and how it is achieved is described through the Technical drawing 4.1 The pulley itself is within the rod's core (drawing nine), it pulls and pushes the set strengthened cords which are connected to the internal face' via T7' the pulley is controlled by the operational crew described in the Technical drawing 4.0, 4.1 T3/Out take lung'; This is where the lung system' breathes out', the internal functions for this lung system is described within drawing seven.

T4/Intake lung'; This is where the internal lung system' breathes in', as above the internal details of how this works is described within drawing seven.

T5/Rod's lung system; This circle represents the barrier's internal lung system', the details in how this works are described within drawing seven in more detail.

T6/'Lung' chambers; As with the lung system' the details for how they work are described within the next

drawing's description drawing seven'.

T7/Connection points for internal face and lung chamber'; These are the connection points where the lung chambers' and the internal face' meet, these points house the water outlet sprays so that the water for when it arrives can be channeled and sprayed out onto the barrier's open front top assist the filling process as the barrier moves into position.

T7IL' Connection point's furthest position; This is the furthest point of positioning for the internal face' Y', this position is only reached once and during the emptying of the barrier just before the barrier lowers it releases all of the on board water so the barrier can be lowered -weightless.

TlO/ Barrier's open front; This is the Barriers open front', this is where the water will fill up and get released from depending on barrier position. The open front area amount will depend on how much the oncoming threat is whether it is a miniature wave or a larger wave(s) it will be determined by how much water the barrier's internal face Y' allows in through the barriers gills W'. This will determine how much water is required to be sprayed in through from the pump rig regulated by the operational crew and equipment.

Prior knowledge can be obtained from relevant warning systems and devices laid out to help form an animated accurate detailed warning about the oncoming threat ** X1 Barrier Hood face; This is the third section of the hood', the shaped face allows the physical deflection of the oncoming energies created from natural sources i.e. storm surge and Tsunami'.

This is also the principal structure for the barrier's function.

The whole of the internal functional equipment relies on this face's movement, the movement and how the internal barrier functions is as follows; 1/ First the message comes in via the pump rig's communication antenna N' about an oncoming threat such as a storm surge.

2/ Secondly the operational crew activate the connection rod's core, this is described within the Technical drawing 4.0, 4.1 3/ Third as the connection rod is activated, the barrier begins to raise upwards out of the water from its submerged position.

4/ Simultaneously with the movement of the connection rod's core and the movement of the barrier the internal face' moves towards the connection rod sucking' the surrounding water inwards through W' the gill' slats filling the open front section T10' forming a free standing body of water within the barrier.

5/ Also simultaneously with the inertia movement of the face' and water within the barrier the propulsion propellers'Pl' are switched on via the stored energy from the solar panels Sl' within the barriers roof *** So that the propellers guide the barrier into position and keep it there by providing propulsion until it is time to lower the barrier.

6/When the oncoming energy has passed out, the barrier is then lowered back into the ocean. This is achieved by control via the operational crew within the pump rig and communication with the mainland or an early warning system. The operational crew gear' the core back into pre-warning position see Technical drawing 4.0 for details.

The internal face moves outwards and the water escapes through W' the slats, at the same time the propellers provide propulsion powered by the air cushion created between Z' and the floor of the barrier to keep the barrier horizontal until the barrier's open front Ti 0' is emptied. As the internal face moves along the air bar pushing it downwards it uses the air cushion as a source of temporary energy to power the propellers in order for them to provide propulsion. The internal face moves to its furthest position T711' to ensure full propulsion and empting of the water from the open front section.

Z/Air cushion bar; This bar creates an air cushion for when the face Y' moves along the top of it. The bar for when the barrier is fully raised and full of water locks into ZI'. The actual bar is filtered to allow only air through once pushed down upon so that no water can be either allowed to enter or exit through this bar, this can be achieved because of both the bar's molecular filtered skin (water molecules are sized different from air*) and because of the pressure of downward forced air (especially during water release prior to lowering through the P1' propulsion propellers on the underside (drawing eight) of the barrier) for when the barrier is raised into position (water trying to enter a pressurized balloon).

Zl/Air bar's lock; This is where the air bar locks into position for when the air bar is raised. The lock is not a lock as such it just slides into a wheeled fitting position, so when the air bar is pushed downwards the lock' just allows the wheels to turn and release the bar.

Description Part Four

Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Drawing Seven Barrier Connection Rod's core; Internal view This drawing represents the inner core of the connection rod within the Barrier', this drawing allows all the internal functions to be seen. This view is taken from looking inwards beyond the outer seal F2' and as if the view is looking right along the entire inner connection rod (drawing nine shows a shortened view of the entire connection rod looking towards it at a frontal view).

TI The connection rod; This whole drawing represents the iimers of the connection rod within the barrier.

Ti! The water hose'; The foremost circle represents the water hose, this hose travels through out the entire barrier until it reaches its exit point as shown in drawing nine'. This hose allows the water to travel straight through from the pump rig's pumps and through the filters towards the barrier via the internal main water funnel G' and down through the connection face F' on towards through the outer connections to the barrier and then into the connection rod.

The water hose also houses and allows the transportation of the remote control access cords via the out side wall of the hose, These cords travel with the hose and connect through F' the connection face, straight through to the inner core of the pump rig's connection rod until reaching drawing two where they travel upwards through the gear shaft DIV' towards the operational control room.

The cords' allow the remote control of the support beams as described within T211' and F2111'.

T2! The core'; This is the core of the connection rod as shown from a frontal view in drawing nine', this core is the key functional tool within the barrier.

The core is operated via the operational crew within the pump rig as shown and described within the Technical drawing 4.0 and 4.1'.

T2IL' The core's support beams; As the core moves around; (following its functional description within Technical drawing 4.0, 4.1,) the core moves the entire barrier into place and as it moves the support beams' guide the weight and stress from the outer sections of the connection rod throughout the maneuvers by locking the core into place along grooved and shaped cuttings within the outer blocks F211' shown as F2111'.

T3/ The out take lung'; This part of the lung' system represents the outtake valve, this valve' will breath out compressed air found within the lung' chambers T6'.

T4/ The intake lung'; This section of the lung system' takes in air or breathes in air, so that its built in compressors can compress the air from outside the barrier so in turn it can supply air to the lung chambers T6'.

T5/ The internal lung' system; The circular gap between the inner three circles and the outer larger sections represents the lung system's' airways, this is how the whole lung' system works; The lung system operates similar to a normal set of lungs except without the capillaries found within. This lung system operates as follows and is part of the simultaneous act of activation as there is a number of working functions involved in Barrier activation'.

The lung system is made up of two main compressors situated at T3 and T4' they can breathe in both ways in case of emergency. The compressors breathe in and out the surrounding air around the barrier through filters so that very little water gets inside.

(if any water droplets get inside, they travel through the air through the system and in through T7' through the internal face' Y' and into the water found within Ti 0' the barriers open front) The air is then blown or compressed so that the air travels through the airways gap towards the lung chambers when required efficiently. When the air is required to leave the lung system area it is sucked back out through T3' and then blown out the top of the valve (a bit like watching a whale blow off' for when it reaches the surface of the water).

Firstly as the pump rig' receives a message of alert' from either an early warning system or from the mainland via the rig's communication antenna N'.

Secondly the operational crew onboard is alerted and then activate the barrier's internal functions via the operations room onboard the pump rig described in the Technical Drawing 4.0 4.1.

Thirdly, as simultaneous acts of both rig and barrier are then activated and moved into position via internal driven systems which are manually controlled by the operational crew. Technical drawing 4.0 4.1 Once the activation is started, the lung system assists the movement of the barrier.

Movement is achieved by how the lung system works and how it is connected to the rest of the barrier's internal functions T6', T7' and Y'.

T61 The lung' chambers; These are the lung chambers', During operational deactivation they inflate with air supplied from the lung system. As they inflate, they push against T7' (the connective point for the lung chambers) pushing them out towards the end of the barrier's internal length with the internal face "Y'.

Once the barrier is deactivated from alert status or started the emptying process the chambers air is blown through via the intake's compressor inwards through the intake valve T4' As the air is sucked back through the outtake valve lung chambers' are deflated bringing the internal face' Y' back towards the connection rod. This process guides and aids the filling and emptying of the barrier from water and ultimately assists the barrier to carry out its task of protecting the given required area from oncoming threats such as storm surge' or Tsunami'.

F2111 The outer connection blocks; These blocks are shaped and connected straight through the inner Connection Rod', they represent the inners of the outer seal F2'. Take the outer seal off and this is what the view will show.

F21111 The remote interlocking sections for the support beams; These are the grooved inter locking sections which are cut into P211', these cut sections help to lock the support beams into place during operational movement from the core. As shown in the drawing the grooved sections are only made so long, this ensures non-slipping of the support beams during operational movement.

The actual locking' happens because of two reasons; one, the grooves within the cut sections are cut differently from the next meaning they are cut into different depths.

Two, the edges of the support beams are wheeled with a mini suspension, so when the support beams move around, wheels move within these grooved sections and are locked in as they move into position. The grooves lock the wheels accordingly to their position with sensitive pressure added via the operational control room as described within the Technical drawing 4.0 and 4.1. (brake pads gripping a vehicles brake disc via a pedal).

F2IV/ The inner remote brake boxes; These boxes represent how F2111' the grooved braking sections work. They work the functions of the brakes within the grooved sections via remote control set from the operational control room on board the pump rig. This is all described in detail within the Technical drawing 4.0.

Y/ Internal face'; The internal face is represented as Y' in this drawing because the lung chambers T6' are connected to the internal face as shown within drawing six T7'. This is marked to show where the lung chamber's connective pulls' are going in terms of direction.

The broken lines at the right hand side of the drawing represent the different positions that the barrier can be put into; Position one, raised once the operational crew and barrier are activated to protection alert status.

Position two, lowered once the barrier has emptied and put back into standby status.

Position three, down position'; to allow for cleaning and maintenance between alerts to ensure the propellers P1' and insulated energy connections Sil' are functional.

Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Drawing Eight Barrier; Underneath view This view allows the underside functions of the barrier.

SI Barrier's belly'; Basically the whole of this drawing represents the underside of the barrier.

Pit Propulsion propellers; These circles with a crossed over cross represent the propulsion propellers within the barriers belly. These propellers have the same function as the pump rig's propulsion propellers, to provide stability during operations, except these propellers offer temporary propulsion as they are powered by a limited source of energy. They also provide guidance for the barrier to position itself during placement and operations.

These propellers can move in both directions same as the rig's for operational reliability and operational movement from the barrier.

There is an extra two propellers located at the front of the barrier's belly, they are for extra lift and stability purposes during operations as combating storm surge' or large long Tsunami' can unsettle undercurrents traveling underneath the barrier. These extra two propellers are powered by an extra fuel cell' Sill' this cell holds energy from above to them when required.

The inner lined cross represents how the solar energy gets to the propellers via a sensor switch which channels the energy direct to the propeller to allow it to spin around.

SlI This broken boxed area represents the solar paneled area housed within the roof of the barrier as shown in the overview drawing. These solar panels supply the power and energy for the propellers to operate.

The solar panels are located at the rear because when the barrier is lowered, this is the part less submerged making it still possible to enable a solar charge.

SIT! The lines represent the insulated wires the solar energy travel along towards the propulsion propellers from the barrier's roof, they travel along the outside and around the outer rear of the connection rod's skin because this area is the calmest away from any immediate threat from storm surge' or Tsunami' and from any damage that is likely to be caused.

TI connection Rod; This area represents the connection rod.

X/ The Barrier hood's face; This is the third section of the hood; the face is the area that is shaped to deflect the oncoming energy away from the rig, barrier and ultimately any vulnerable coastline.

Description Part Four

Mobile Marine Cradle Barrier System' Drawing Nine Barrier; Connection Rod Internal view This whole drawing represents a close up shortened version of the connection rod's core, this allows to show how the connection rod's core works although controlled via the operational control room as described within the Technical drawing 4.0 TI Connection Rod's Core; This whole area is the core of the connection rod and its functional features.

F2IV/T2111 The broken lined box; This box area represents where the support beams T211' and the remote control box F2IV' would be located within the core's outer wall.

T2111 The broken line jutting out from the core's upper and lower sides, represents the support beams physical locations. The support beams functions are described within drawing seven. This is just to show where they would be once linked up with the core.

Til/ Water hose' connection; This area marked as three circles lined up represents the location of the water hoses' within the core's outer panel. The water as described within drawing six travels through from the rig through to the core via an internal hose, for when the hose reaches its length point along within the connection rod's core it meets up with the upper lung chamber T6" pulley section. From these hose outlets (small circles) the water is transferred through another hose tube through to the upper lung chamber's inner hose at the pulley base. With this inner tube it can reach into the barrier via the lung chamber and into the open front section of the barrier Tl0'.

Tl2/ Rod Pulley system; The grooved sections represent the pulley system's base, the actual pulleys are controlled from the pump rig's operational control room (Technical drawing 4.0) they push or pull the lung chamber's connection points T7' outwards and towards the core.

The grooved section on the right hand side represents the upper lung chambered' section.

Description Part Four

Mobile Marine Barrier System' Technical drawing one' Technical 1; Internal of connection rod behind pump rig Throughout all the Control and pump rigs' drawings within both models this part is represented as G' within these drawings.

Behind or within each rig's rear is a connective pipe which connects the outgoing water pollution or incoming salinity from a series of pods which float submerged behind each rig, this is the internal view of the layout of that connection pipe.

The rigs from model one the Cradle system' don't have T' the internal connection rod, only model two has 1' as it is needed to connect the Pump rig with the Barriers'.

Gl Main Water funnel; Shown here at the bottom of the drawing, in fact as the model drawings show it should be the outgoing funnel rather than G2' within this drawing. This drawing shows the internal layout of this functional part of the rig, G2' is in fact the latter most part of the internal part of the funnel, so G' is represented correctly as an entire section of outward pipe.

(Longer in model two than of model one because of the connection rod) Gil Internal filter shifter' for outflow control; Seen here as a broken line running across the funnel's width, this represents an internal filter which blocks the water to the outer funnels leading to the T' connection rod and vice versa with the main inner part of this funnel in the event of the Barrier being activated. The double lined section represents the inboard water pumps, they help regulate and boost the water's flow that run between the rig's main pumps C' and the flows which flush'the salinity back out through the rig.

The internal filter shifter feature is only found within model two the Cradle Barrier system', the inboard double lined section' pumps feature is only found within model one's Control rig' as for both respected reasons.

G2l Outflow of polluted water; This is shown at the outward latter position; this represents the outward flow point of the water pollution which then flows through a connective flexible hose' towards the pollution pods. The description for the pollution pods and the salinity pods are within drawing's four and five respectively from model one.

This feature is available within both models except with model one's Control rig', the outward flow becomes both inward and outward as the salinity gets "flushed' out from within the salinity pods back out through the Control rigs main water funnel'.

This process is described within both drawings one and five in model one, Q1/ Down pipe leading to Q' the exit pipe connection point; This circle represents the start of the outward bound pipe for the pumped water', this is the down pipe section which starts here and runs vertically downwards towards the base of each rig. This section of pipe can be seen within drawing's one and two for model one and drawing two for model two.

The head of this pipe section is filtered by molecular size, mass and weight because fresh water and salinity have differences in these aspects*, also as each rig is meant to pump a certain amount of fresh water from the THC in order to cradle' and prevent shutdown' or relocation of THC currents**.

TI Connection Rod; This represents the connection rod which runs through the rear of each pump rig, each connection rod connects with the Barriers which together with the pump rigs form a strong unified protective chain against water intrusion from either storm surge' or Tsunami'. This chain is shown as a bird's eye view within the Over view drawing' for model two.

Ti! Water hose' connection; This inner section represents the inner pipe connections from within the connection rod housing the internal water hoses to assist the filling of the Barrier' during activation.

This process of this filling' is explained throughout within drawing's two, five, six and seven from model two.

41(**) wwwgeosc.psu/'-kkeI lerlkel Ier_etal_snowrnass_02.pd f Technical 2.1; Flexible Pipe These two mini drawings represent the detailed functions of how the pumped fresh water' gets form the pump rig' to the mainland.

QI Flexible pipe connection point; This circle represents the main hook up' point for the flexible pipe to connect with each rig, each flexible pipe' leads to a network of distribution pipes which are laid just below the sea floor with markerjunctions'.

The actual hose is flexible because during operations or pumping' each Cradle system' and each Cradle Barrier system' will be placed in rough and fragile working environments. * Q2/ Flexible pipe leading to distribution pipes; During operations for any vessel or rig at sea it is essential to have a secure connection (if applicable) for any hazardous work. Having a flexible' connective pipe is ideal given that the working positions, tasks and surrounding environment is venerable to change all the time from calm to very rough states of working conditions.** In addition to this both the volatile yet fragile surroundings and the actual THC currents are subject to fluctuate in location throughout the seasonal year.*** With the flexible hose' it is possible for each rig to maneuver around, to stay in touch with the fluctuating currents and for the water to travel to a stationary pipe network back to the mainland destination points. (The moving of the rig is achieved with the added stability propulsion system and the directional propellers all described with drawing's 1.1 and 2.1 of model one and drawing's four and eight for model two respectively).

The operational crew can operate a steering mechanism' on board the working deck assisted with the propulsion system described in drawing's one and two in model one and drawing two within model two.

The operational crew also operate from their vantage point a remote control from their working deck which controls the activation of the air compressor' within the support legs', the working details for this are explained with the Technical drawing 4.0 4.1 The preferred pipe distribution layout will have marker junctions' laid geographically along the routes laid out. These junctions' will enable the secure connection between the flexible hose' and the stationary pipe. The actual junction markers will be built just above the buried pipe with a moving top section to accommodate the flex' that will sometimes be created from flexible hose pipe which stresses further away from its given position due to seasonal current movement.

The preferred pipe routed destinations and routes are listed and explained in detail, these details are within the attached description for the wider picture project'. This is attached separately, this wider picture project' is aimed at coupling a commercial outcome with aiding both economic and health states within the selected destination sites listed within this descriptive document.

Technical 2.2; Flexible feet' connections These miniature drawings represent how each rig throughout both models stay steady and in position during active operations.

R/ Flexible feet' housing; This circle represents the housing for the flexible feet'; the smaller circles represent the actual feet'.

The housing is built into the base of each rig as described and shown within drawing's 1.1. 2.1 for model one and drawing four for model two.

The actual housing is big enough to accept the length of each foot' as they are retractable, only during maneuver positioning they fully retract back into the housing.

Ri! Flexible feet'; The actual feet are retractable so that when they come into contact with the ocean's floor' they can adjust slightly until their heads' are fully buried and secure into the sea floor below. The heads are shown as the pointy triangle bits, they bury themselves into the sea floor to secure their positions their ankles' spring a shaped outward circular grip so that the rigs stay in position physically, They are retractable to allow movement during either rough weather or operational maneuvers due to fluctuating currents during different seasonal weather patterns or tides. (Summer through to winter) They operate like drills with hollow insides to house power connections through from the stored energy from the rig's internal power shafts; K, KI, Ku, Kill' which are supplied from the top of each rig via recyclable natural power sources.

Also the hollow legs are designed so that the entire leg can pull together like a spring to enable greater grip once in position, this would also allow for flexibility enabling the pump rig to move around slightly from an impacting threat in turn to strengthen the entire barrier system from either bobbing up and down on the wave' or being swept aside by pulling down against the rig and holding its feet in position instead.

Mobile Marine Barrier System' Technical Drawing II' Technical 3.1 Birdseye view -Support leg/ Wind Towers This feature is related to A' throughout all of the rigs, it has a doubled objective of supporting each rig.

Firstly the legs' lend support by encroaching the shape of each rig and sheltering each rig away from damaging cross winds from the outside, secondly from the inside these legs become known as Wind towers' doubling the support to assist stability for each rig during operations. This is the view taken from above each rig, from here the view shows how the support legs' look like from above.

Al Support legs -structure function from outside These curved shaped boxed areas represent the support legs as seen from above each rig, the whole structure is protected by a enclosed wall wrap around'. This is made up of segmented sections which are designed to collapse to ensure refraction' and traction' (described within Technical drawing three).

These segmented sections are partly hollow to allow a free flow of air to circulate around each rig not directly head on, this adds safety and stability.

All Wind compressors -function from outside These circles within the outer structure are the air compressors' which are in turn a key part of the wind towers', the description for how they operate is within Technical drawing two 3.2 and drawing three 3.5 and 3.6 A2/ Internal walled area' -from inside to assist the wind tower operation' This triangle shaped area represents the insides of the wind towers', the actual function for how this internal walled area' is explained in greater detail within Technical 3.2, 3.3 and 3.5 This wall' basically is stretched to suit the required extended or retracted length of the support legl wind tower, the tightness assists internal wind shaping.

Technical 3.2 Internal view -Support legs/ Wind Towers This internal view allows to show how the internal wind towers' operate and lend added support to each rig by assisting stability.

Also this view shows how the internal functional structure of the Base' operates.

Al Wind Towers -overall concept A' represents the entire structure as the support legs' from the outside and as the inner structures wind towers'.

The internal feature of the support legs is the wind towers' as already referred to within previous descriptions and both model drawings; overall once activated create a vortex' of wind that forms inside the tower*, this movement of wind creates energy which is captured and stored within the rig's lower decks. This energy is used to self-power the wind compressor to assist increase in compression' which in turn leads to greater propulsion for stability and safety for each rig during operations.

All Wind compressors -function from inside This represents the location for these wind compressors', the arrow points in the direction of the location for the compressor. The actual compressor is located between the second and the third broken line before A3'.

This compressor actually creates a suction which is channeled through a spinning disc' which is shaped so when it spins it shapes the wind' with the assistance form A2'. The energy to start the compressor comes from a self-powered miniature compressor placed within the top segment of the support legs' ATV'. This unit' is remote controlled via the working deck' within the dome' activated by the operational crew.

How this functional unit' works is described within the Technical drawing three 3.3.

Once the unit' is activated, it creates a certain amount of suction to suck' in the surrounding air from around the extended support legs. When the air is sucked in it creates movement from the mini turbines which are within the compressor, when they turn around they capture energy much in the same way as wind farm turbines' capture and generate electricity* . This energy is then passed down the support leg' and then channeled into the main compressor, enough to kick start' the process of creating an ongoing source of energy created in the same way through larger turbines built into the base' upper deck to continue producing energy from a captured vortex' of wind. This process is described within drawing one of model one as well.

A2/ Internals of Wind Towers -functions This is the internal walls of the wind tower' and support leg', basically this wall stretches with tightness according to the height or length of the support legs. The function of this wall is to add to the shaping of the wind vortex' as it spins around within the inner section of the support legs hence wind tower.

The wall is secured through the upper segment unit, the process is described within Technical drawing three 3.3.

A3/ Internal wind turbines These turbines help capture the energy from the vortex' of wind at this point because the shaping of any vortex' is greater at the base of the shaped wind.*** They spin around capturing energy in the same way that wind farm turbines generate electricity* * ** B! Base -overall concept This is the base' or foundation of each rig, it is shaped circular and it has three internal decks which are all functional. These decks are described as follows; Bl/ Top deck This is the top deck of the base', this deck offers structural support to all the main upper structures which are relevant to each rig functioning.

B2/ Wind deck This deck is called the wind' deck because it is where all the wind created from within the wind tower is passed around within the deck to create a pressured amount to aid stability for the propulsion propellers. This propulsion process is also described within drawing's 1.1 2.1 for model one and drawing four for model two.

B31 Lower deck This is the lowest deck of the base', this deck houses all the relevant housing equipment relevant for propulsion and the underside of each rig. The underside features are fully explained within drawing's 1.1, 2.1 for model one and drawing four for model two.

P1 The propulsion propellers This is just to show where in relevance to this drawing the propulsion propellers are located. The propulsion propellers operate through from the compressed air from above within the lower base's' decks to give stability through propulsion during any operational maneuvers to each of the rigs.

Description Part Four

Mobile Marine Barrier System' Technical Drawing III Technical drawing 3.3 This drawing represents the top segment unit' or AIV', this view shows the insides and describes how they function, the arrows show the air flow within.

This unit' is deigned to assist the activation process of the entire support leg' and internal wind tower' mechanisms. The activation process is explained fuiiy within 3.5.

3.31/the arrow points to the main built in power unit within this top segment unit'. The power unit also stores the solar energy captured from within its roof and uses it for operating its main functional operations, the air compressor and the pulley.

3.32/ this is the pulley'; the pulley actually is shaped like a cork screw, this enables inward or outward movement of A2' as the support leg moves upwards or downwards during either retraction or extension. A2' as described previously within technical drawing two assists the shaping of the wind tower' internal funnel. This pulley assists the shaping by pulling and releasing the material that forms the funnel shape as the support leg maneuvers, as A2' is always attached to the inners of this pulley and the base.

3.33/ the solar paneled roof; the roof of each of the top segments are solar paneled, this is to enable enough required energy to start up the AIV' compressors once activated via the working deck by the operational crew. On each of the roof's corner there is a built in remote sensor which reads the remote control signal for when it reaches the top segment during activation, there are two roof mounted receiver remote sensors because of operations during bad weather this would boost signals.

3.34/ this points to where the AIV' compressor's entrance /exit point for its air flow to reach the actual compressor. The double arrows signify the directions of flow.

3.3 5/ this is A2', a required material to be able to form a tight but secure funnel within Each of the support legs. This material will have to be resilient enough to withstand a high velocity vortex' from within and the stresses created by pulling and pushing via the pulley and cross winds from outside as each segment is transparent for safety reasons.

3.36/ this is the base section of the AIV' compressor, this allows the flow of air downwards towards each of the segments and below for the initial start up flow through Al'. This area also allows A2' to join with the pulley. As this drawing does not signify the physics of allowing air flow past A2' initially as its based on a double sided support segment, the wider drawing as shown in Technical drawing two 3.1 from the illustrated view it shows each segment will be one sided as to support A2' from one side and not both. Air flow will travel from one both sides to down through all segments evenly following the arrow diagram.

3.37/ this just represents each of the mini legs within each segment, arrows show airflow Technical drawing3.4 These drawings represent the two views compressed' and decompressed', these are the two positions that each of the segmented sections of the support legs will be in during operations.

3.4/ Extended view' or decompressed; This to show the top segment AIV' with a fully extended segment underneath, whilst the segments are in this position the support legs will be at their full height also sheltering the rig's dome structure from harmful weather.

3.4 1/ Compressed view'; This drawing represents the top segment unit with decompressed support segments lying stacked underneath. In this position the support leg will be fully retracted, this will only happen if the rough weather becomes too much for the support legs stress limits.

Technical drawing 3.5 The air flow that is created within the support leg's internal wind tower' is represented as arrows within this drawing. Along with the wind towers' air flow, the activation process is explained with this section as the process it self involves this air flow as well.

The activation process is as follows; a) The operational crew activates the support leg's top segment's AIV' compressor via remote control from the Dome' within the working deck'.

b) Via the built in sensor switch within each corner of the solar roof unit of AIV', the compressor is switched on.

c) The surrounding air around the outside of each of the top segments from each of the support legs gets sucked' inwards towards the compressor AW'.

d) Simultaneously as the air suction' continues each support leg raises upwards one segment at a time, this is achieved through inflation of each mini leg within each segment.

e) Once the support legs are fully raised, the compressor continues suction', air flow is then channeled through an air pressure sensor at the base of each support leg within the upper base deck. This controls the flow through a release valve that then controls the air flow from inflated legs downwards towards the main compressor Al' keeping inflation pressure but allowing extra pressure to be channeled.

f) Once channeling of the air flow begins through to the Al' compressor's turbine, the air flow starts to move the turbine around.

g) Also at the same time once the support legs are fully raised the operational crew via remote control increases the velocity of each AIY' compressors by increasing their setting to a higher rate.

h) This increases the in flow through the Al' compressor in turn increasing the velocity of its turbine. Thus on a gradual pace with the pre-shaped funnel above with assistance from A2' creating a vortex' of wind within each of the support leg's hollow inners.

i) Once a vortex' is created, the mini-built in turbines A3' turn within the created wind, through their own movement they create energy in the same way wind turbines from wind farms generate energy created from their kinetic movement.

j) This energy is then channeled down through to the Al' compressor to supply it with a continuous source of electricity. This electricity will power up the compressors high speed turbines in turn enabling the Al' compressor to self powered and be able to create a stable air cushion beneath the rig used for propulsion.

k) The air cushion will form within the lower decks of the base B2', this air cushion will be created via the Al' compressor as this compressor sucks' the air from above and then blows it back out downwards creating an air cushion beneath within B 2'.

1) From B2' as described within technical drawing two, the air is then blown through the propulsion propellers at a stable balanced rate throughout at a continuous rate right around all of the propellers so to create stability for each of the rigs during operations.

For retraction of the support legs, the AIV' compressor is switched to operate in reverse via remote from the operational crew. Reverse action does not affect the Al' compressor once it has become self powered. This is only done through during really bad weather.

A!The support legs'; Shown here as the section which lies above the base', the squares represent each individual segment within the support legs'.

B! The base'; This part of the drawing is the base's decks.

A3/B2/ Air cushion' area; This is where the created air cushion forms directly above the propulsion propellers, A3' being the actual air that has been created and B2' the deck location where the air cushion forms.

P1 The propulsion propellers; These propellers provide propulsion for the rig to gain stability during operations, the functional details for how they work are described within drawing's 1.1, 2.1 for model one and drawing four for model two.

Technical drawing 3.6 This drawing represents the spinning disc' or main turbine which sits above the wind tower compressor Al' this disc assists the stability and formation of a vortex' shaped wind funnel.

Open means open to compressor suction, the closed sections are those in between to support the other functional sections. The whole disc is mobile except for the foremost inner circle and the outer rim; these are the housing sections to secure the disc with the compressor.

The disc is located just above the Al' compressor and is shown as a double broken line just within A3' section just above the triangular area which is the Al' compressor.

3.6 1/ the second inner circle; This circular section is open, this allows the formation of a wider based vortex' as apposed to a narrow weaker wind strength formation. The wider the base of a vortex' the more stabile the wind speed i'.

3.62/ the third inner circle; This strengthens the base wall of the vortex' base as this is also open. This will encourage a wider stronger vortex'.

3.63/ the fifth inner circle; This thicker section is also open and spins around and is shaped concave but on a gradual subtle slope, this shape helps to create the outer furmel shaped formation. A2' assists this shaping further away from the base of the vortex'. The lines running across this section help to guide the wind flow within the base section of the vortex, they also represent a support axis for the whole disc. As the disc spins at high speed it is weighted down around the edges for stability reasons to avoid disintegration during operations.

These weights are recognized as smaller circles around the outer rimmed section.

3.64/ the inner outer rim circle; This section of rim houses the disc's outer weights', these weights are in fact separate mini-vortex suction compressors. They independently suck' air inwards as the whole disc moves around so that during operations the actual vortex gains its own twist' so in turn the vortex gains strength and therefore increases the turbine A3' movement thus generating greater energy to in turn spin the Al' compressor and disc' faster to generate a stronger vortex' thus enabling greater air cushion for more stabile propulsion for the rig during operations.

3.65/ the outer rim circle; This is just where the disc housing is located, as the inner sections of the disc is either open or spinning this outer rim represents the stationary housing rim to attach the disc to its compressor base.

Description Part Four

Mobile Marine Barrier System' Technical Drawing IV Technical Drawing 4.01 This represents an insert of the area between DIV' and the connection rod's face' F' within drawing two of model two. In drawing two of model one the area is only identified as a broken lined box located within the same area but not as detailed. This is because within model one the operational crew they only have to monitor the outgoing pollution as apposed to operating the connection rod's connective functions as well.

4.OaJ This area represents the main control room that has been referred to previously as the operational crew's location for gaining access to controls for operating the connection rod which enables them to ultimately control the Barrier'. The pointy shaped Y' thing in the middle represents the main release rod, this release rod is operated by the crew to release the connection rod's gears during activation of the Barrier' this is explained within Technical 4.02.

4.Ob/ this represents the gear shaft', the internal functions of this shaft is explained within Technical 4.02 and Technical 4.1 4,12. This shaft' enables the crew to operate the internal gears' and for them to reach the connection rod.

DIV! as described within previous drawings throughout all the rigs this represents the main access hatch for the operational crew to gain access to the connection rod's control room.

F! as shown within drawing's 1.1 and two within model two, this represents the connection rod's connective face, also referred to as the main connection point between the pump rig and the barrier within model two.

F3/ Shown here as a point of reference representing the connection rod's face's core.

G/ representing the main water funnel' exit point.

G 1 / This represents the inward internal main water funnel' section.

Technical Drawing 4.02 This boxed drawing represents the proposed working area known as the connection rod's operations room'. This is where and how the operational crew onboard the rig will control the Barrier' during operations.

4.02A/ Water watch computers; These boxed areas within each corner represents where the relevant monitoring equipment for watching' the quality of the water flow by using filters within the main water funnel'. The internal funnel runs right through the centre beneath this control room, these control computers monitor the levels of water pollution that travels through this funnel' prior to being pumped outwards to the pollution pods behind each rig.

4.02B/ Walk over floor; This part represents the floored area that the operational crew will use to walk' around on; this floor is directly above the main water funnel' which is where the liquid pollution passes through. The fresh water which gets separated by filtration doesn't pass underneath the control room as it separates through Qi' before reaching this point.

4.02C1 Gear operation section; This section of the control room only applies to model two, following designs model one does not have the use for the barrier. This middle section in the room allows for the operational crew to gain control over the Barrier' by use of the connection rod's gearing.

These gears are connected to the connection rod's mid section, how the gears work and function are described within the Technical drawing descriptions 4.1, 4.2 The heads of theses gears are shaped and connected to the control room's mid section by shaping them to suit manual operation by the crew. (A gear box within a vehicle has a gear box with a simple gear head shaped to suit manual operation) G 1 / Internal main water funnel' The broken lines running across the control room represent the internal water funnel beneath the control room's location.

Technical Drawing 4.11 This feature drawing represents the operational section' of the connection rod; the connection rod's core. The actual connection rod's circumference is not shown as this view is taken whilst looking down with a birds eye view from the operational room. This section of the connection rod circumference is open' or exposed' at the top allowing access for the operational crew to gain access to work the gears.

4.IAI connection rod'; This section of the entire connection rod represents a shortened view of where and how the operational crew gains control over the rod' and the Barrier', as this is the actual core from within the connection rod and as the entire connection rod length reaches right across the whole width of each pump rig to connect with each barrier.

The inertia of the connection rod is hollow with a hollow fanctional core, this core assists transportation of a water hose which runs in both directions from the main water funnel's' exit point G'.

The hollow functional core is actually how the connection rod is operated by the operational crew from the rig's control room, control is gained because of the gears and how the gears positions correspond with the support teeth' which connect with the Barrier's connective face' F' and the rig's connection rod.

4.1B/ connection rod's gears; This drawing represents the birds eye simplistic view of the gears connected to the circumference of the connection rod's core. The functions and how the gears work the barrier through the connection rod is best described within a blow by blow' movement

the description is as follows;

1/ Operational crew activate the connection rod' by turning and releasing the Y' rod, this frees the core's grooves enabling movement. The central Y' rod's base grips the surrounding grooves to inter-lock the entire connection rod (compared to having a hand brake applied but with shaped base grips).

2/ Operational crew move gears into position via the control room by selecting forward gears with the gear's stalk. This moves internal grooved section which is connected to the connective face's teeth' by shaped rods within the core's shaped inertia.

3/ Once position is selected -at the same time -by the internal shaped rods they push out or pull in to allow the movement by gripping/releasing of the barrier's face's teeth' thus in turn enabling secure Barrier movement'.

4/ simultaneously the internal brake system' within the Barrier's core (drawing seven) is activated from the control room to increase stability during operational movements of the barrier.

5/ also simultaneously the internal functions form within the Barrier are activated as the barrier is moved into position.

6/Once in position the operational crew apply an interlocking system (grooves lock in shape jigsaw' from within the connection rod's core) with the internal brake system' from within the internal barrier's rod to ensure safety and secure positioning. The added safety features are needed because of rough weather and quick actions sometimes needed during operations.

7/ Operational crew await signal to re-position once the danger has cleared, with the aid of the barrier's internal functional system the positioning process can start over for future threats.

4.1C/ outer connection rod'; This represents the outer sections of the connection rod's core', the grooves are further apart because the inner grooves are there to protect the gears and the outer grooves are there to act as housing for support beams to attach the inner core to the outer connection rods inner walls.

The shaped push pull' rods are located within the internal circumference, these rods assist barrier movement as they are shaped to fit the grooved internals which connect with the Barrier's teeth' to aid movement once either released or gripped.

Technical Drawing 4.12 This drawing represents the same exposed section of the connection rod's core that lies beneath the operational control room except taken as a view from the side.

4.12A/ gear heads'; These flat' bits that jut out from the top surface' of the drawing show the Gear Heads'.

The gear head is where and how the operational crew gain control and operate the Gears.

The actual gear head is shaped to allow the tops of each gear to poke through, the tops are shaped and angled towards the operational control room's panels which sit adjacent to the exposed area that houses the gear shaft. (See plan for Technical 4.02, 4.02c) An easy comparison for how these angled tops would be to use a view of an every day vehicle's gear stalk and stick' attached to a gear box, this is how they show themselves and how they operate.

The gear shaft section of the core being the gear box' and the gear head' being the manual gear stick' with stalks', aided with connective internal push pull rods connected to the F' connective face's teeth' leading from within either side of this core section of the connection rod.

4.12B/ main release Y' rod; This Y' rod is the main release hand brake' for the grooves which move the internal shaped push pull rods simultaneously as the operation crew select a positional gear' during Barrier' activation operations.

The Y' rod's base is shaped to grip the adjacent grooves to interlock the grooves between positions to secure safety and bather positioning during operations.

4.12C1 gear stalks'; This gap between the lower grooved section core rod' and the top line of the drawing the outer circumference of the connection rod' represents the area where the gear stalks' and the main release rod Y' are located.

4.12D/ connection rod's core'; This section just represents the connection rod's core rod.
