Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a propulsion system for a maritime vessel wherein the employed means for propulsion includes flapping and transversely translating foils or fins.
  • the present invention relates to a propulsive mechanism for a maritime vessel propelled by water engaging fins or foils.
  • the fins or foils are driven such that the fins or foils translate in directions substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the maritime vessel.
  • the mechanism inter alia comprises:
  • At least one source of propulsive power having an output shaft forming a first axis of rotation
  • the chariot is preferably provided inside the hull of the vessel and is via oscillating or translating means connected to at least one source of energy developing at least part of the propulsive power. It must be understood that the hull of the vessel or ship accommodates the propulsive system, apart from the water engaging foils or fins, incl. all necessary technical means.
  • the present invention is an important practical element to easily realize efficient and operative flapping propulsion based on the combination of one periodical translating movement and possibly one periodical rotation movement of one or several fins under the ship.
  • the oscillating motion of a fishtail can be simulated and generated either by rotation of a fin, or, as is the case with sea-mammals and tuna-related fish, by a combination of at least one periodical translation and one periodical rotation of the caudal fin.
  • the propulsive elements e.g. propellers, jets, ducted propellers or pump jets etc.
  • the propulsive elements are rotating about their own axis.
  • the propellers are rotating at about 50-500 rpm.
  • the propellers are carefully designed for their particular application.
  • One important objective for the designers are to limit the vessels overall fuel consumption. This is achieved through careful design of several parameters such as hull form, propulsion plant and propulsive elements.
  • Propulsion by means of oscillating fins possesses attractive features such as higher efficiency than rotating propellers and inherent steering, which eliminates the need for a separate rudder with the associated costs and the associated reliability issues; in addition it frees volume inside the hull for increased cargo accommodation.
  • the higher efficiency is achieved through lower impulse losses, lower hydrodynamic friction losses, lower induced drag losses and a lower drag on the hull itself, and results in either lower fuel consumption and lower installed power for the prime movers, or a higher service speed with the same installed propulsion power and fuel consumption.
  • half the foils are preferably oscillated 180° out of phase with the other half of the foils.
  • the foils are oscillated 120° out of phase with each other.
  • FIGS 4A, 4B, 5A, 5B & 5C illustrate an embodiment for a foil propulsion system in accordance with the US patent.
  • the propulsive system is build up from two foils (10), each connected via a shaft (34), through a slit (36) in the aft section of the hull (30) to a table (40).
  • each table (40) has two or more wheels or rollers (42) mounted to the forward underside and to the rear underside, in which the wheels or rollers ride in corresponding tracks (44) mounted to hull (32).
  • the tables (40) and the foils (10) attached thereto are thus free to move both directions along one axis (38), and are fixed from movement in any other direction.
  • the mechanism according to the US patent is working through a number of slits (36) established in the hull (32), each transverse to the vessels forward sailing direction, and the extension of the slits (36) exceeding the transverse motion of the foils.
  • the fins are also rotating under power around axes placed such that rotation substantially affects the angle of the foil with the direction of motion of the ship. All disclosed axes of rotation are established as substantially vertical axes. Further, the fins are driven by separate motors; and the motors also rotate about substantially vertical axes.

  • the propulsion means comprises a pair of flappers each adapted to oscillate through an arcuate path in a generally transverse direction with respect to the central longitudinal dimension of the watercraft.
  • Means are operatively associated with the propulsion means for applying input force to the propulsion means.
  • the flappers twist to form an angle of attack for providing forward thrust with respect to the longitudinal dimension of the watercraft while moving in both directions along the arcuate path.
  • US 6877692 B2 (LIU PENGFEI et. al) teaches a propulsion system based on a "thuniform" movement of a foil member to achieve desired directional movement of a vessel such as an unmanned submarine.
  • a pair of foil members is mounted to the hull for reciprocating oscillating movement towards and away from each other, creating forward movement due to the compression of a fluid medium between the foil members and the expulsion of the compressed fluid rearward of the foil members.
  • Each foil member is mounted to a pivot shaft for limited rotational movement with respect to the vehicle body.
  • Damping means are connected between each pivot shaft and its associated foil member so that during operation of the propulsion system damping torque will offset hydrodynamic loads imposed on the foil members by the fluid medium. The damping means will in turn control the pitch angle of the foil members during operation, meaning that a thrust is generated for rigid foil members when moving at zero forward speed.
  • WO 03/026954 A1 published April 3, 2003 (Inocean) suggests a system utilizing a sinusoidal pattern of movement for propulsion or energy recovery.
  • the system comprises a plurality of rigid hull elements arranged in a row and rotatable attached to one another for rotation about parallel axes of rotation across the longitudinal dimension of the row of hull elements.
  • the system further comprises movement devices for rotating the hull elements relative to one another or movement devices for recovery of energy as a result of rotating the hull elements relative to one another.
  • WO 2006/038808 A1 published April 13, 2006 (Clavis Biopropulsion) suggests a device comprising at least one transversely translating fin.
  • the device encompasses actuating and drive means allowing substantially free oscillating motion of the fin.
  • the device operates by means of an impulse, established by drive means, every so many cycles and spring are used to store the pulsating energy provided by the drive means.
