Abstract

Suggesting a new transportation method using balloons and airships together with the ships. Using airships with the military ships, aircraft carriers or any other military marines forming a new marine system for military usages. Equip the airships used in the new system with jet engines to increase its capabilities and speed. Depending on the size and weight, single, double or multiple airships can be attached to the marine pieces at certain positions using cables and strong metal wires.

Description

Complete Description of the Invention
The prior Art
Marine transportation is one of the cheapest ways known for traveling and freight.
The Problem a- Dangers of sinking, stranding and beaching. b- Narrow water passages and canals limit the size and weight of the ships and Maries passing through. Oversized ships and cargos are limited to anchor at certain harbors, c- The duration of the trips are prolonged due to the speed limit of the currently used marines.
d- Excessive amounts of insurance charges are currently added to the cost of the trips due to the extended sailing time and expected complications and dangers.
What's New?
Using the airships along with the ships and boats in one system will protect them against sinking and stranding, the suggested system will also shorten the ships' droughts, decrease the resistance and therefore increase the ships' speed which means saving time and money. To increase their benefits, jet engines can be used for additional speed and efficiency.
The presentation of such system of transportation in the international market will have its positive effects on the airship industry, marine transportation, jet engines industry, and economy in general. Consequently the international economy will flourish and enhanced. Moreover, the new system can be used in tourism and leisure time industry as an attraction in themselves and increase the number of travelers who choose to use marine transportation.

Detailed Description
a. Using airships and balloons along with the ships as a new method of transportation.
b. The same system can be applied to military marines or aircrafts carriers.
The new system is based on a balloon or an airship that is attached directly to the military or civilian ship or boat using cables and metal wires. In the cases of sinking, beaching or any other dangers the airship or balloon will lift up the endangered marine and raise its drought to decrease the drag (water resistance) and increase the speed. The new method shortens the time of the marine trips affecting the profits of the ship industry, shipping, tourism and the international trade positively.
The suggested system will also allow oversized and overweight ships to pass through narrow passages as the airship lifts it up shortening their droughts. In these cases the airships or the balloons are to be used temporarily when needed in certain locations, so it can be offered as a rental service.
c. Jet engines can be added to the system to increase its efficiency and speed. Because of the high efficiency of the Jet engine compared with the internal combustion engines (diesel and petrol engines), they will increase the speed of the new system and save the marine transportation time and money.
Suspension:
The new system can be mono suspended using one airship suspended from specific points at the ship by strong metal and cables. (See the attached drawings)
Application
a- Apply the suggested system consisting of the airship or balloons attached and suspended suitably using wires and cables to ships and boats. b- Applying the new system to upgrade the ships and boats.
c- Prepare airships with different sizes and capabilities near the water passages to be rented to speed the over sized ships to pass through.
e- Use the new system in military ships and pieces, f- Use all kinds of airships in this system such as:
- Balloons.
- Pressure airships.
- Semi-rigid airship.
- Rigid airship.
- Tethered airship
g- All possible means of flexible attachments can be used in this system to join the airship or the balloon (one, two or more) to the ship or the boat from one point or more.

Claims

Claims
1- The Manufacturing, production and preparation of new ships according to the suggested method that is composed of the balloon or the airship attached to the ship with or without the jet engine.
2- Develop the currently used ships of all sizes and types whether for passenger or cargo transportation to work according to the newly suggested system.
3- Protect the rights of operation to all types of balloons and airships (with or without the jet engines) with the small and big ships in all seas. oceans, water passages and shallow waters.
4- Using the suggested method (the airship and the jet engine) in producing different military pieces, develop the existing types of battleships and carriers or any other military marine pieces.
5- Using all types of balloons and airships in the suggested system and joined them with the ships and jet engines.
6- Using all kinds of jet engines in this method and join them with the airships and the ships to increase their speed and efficiency.
7- Using all types of flexible connections (wires, cables, .... metallic or nonmetallic ) between the balloons (or airships) and the ships. Using any other method of connection between all types of ships and the balloons, or the airships depending on their design and calculations.
