  • the boat called the Dingbat which can be viewed in the internet site with the URL http://foxxaero.homestead.com/indsail 026.html and which is designed by Bill Rayner and Clif Barker, utilizes a mechanism similar to a glider comprising a wing and a tail attached to the body by means of a metal connection, and a rudder located underwater at the rear end of the boat. In this way, the boat can travel by means of wind power without requiring any other power and can be directed by means of the tail located underwater. As the speed of the boat increases, the boat is elevated from water level whereby the wet surfaces thereof decrease. Only the tail contacts water when highest amount of speed is attained.
  • the object of the invention is to realize a transportation vehicle having a body which is minimally affected from wave vibrations and surface currents.
  • Another object of this invention is to realize a transportation vehicle which utilizes wind power much more effectively.

  • S underwater unit
  • the air unit (H) is used in obtaining drive from wind power by means of the sail (2).
  • the air unit (H) is composed of at least one sail (2) which provides drive and a mast (3) to which the said sail (2) is attached and the center board (6) which is connected with the boom (4) and the passenger cabin (5).
  • the sail (2) has a surface which resembles airplane/glider wings and which can create a drive aerodynamically.
  • This sail (2) can have any aerofoil cross-section used frequently in air crafts or a dint plate shape. It directs the drag force produced by the wind to the rotation center (not shown in the figures) (D) situated at the balance center (7) of the vehicle which is below the water level.
  • the rotation center (D) is the center around which the transportation vehicle (1) rotates.
  • the transportation vehicle (1) rotates at the center of its volume that remains in the water.
  • the drag force received from the sail (2) is directed to the rotation center (D) by adjusting the sail (2) angle.
  • the mast (3) transmits this force produced by wind at the sail (2) to the balance center (6) of the vehicle.
  • the sail (2) can be raised to various heights (h) in order not to be affected by air movements such as storms.
  • Connection of the sail (2) with the passenger cabin (5) and mechanical control thereof are provided by the mast (3) and the boom (4).
  • the necessary assemblies for increasing or decreasing the length of the sail (2) and for changing the angle of attack ( ⁇ ) are controlled by means of the mast (3) and the boom (4), depending on the speed and buoyancy needed by the transportation vehicle ( 1 ) .
  • the boom (4) provides connection between the passenger cabin (5) and the mast (3), and it can rotate horizontal to the sea around the rotation center (D) of the vehicle.
  • the boom (4) is used for preventing the mast (3), which conveys the drag force of the sail (2) to the rotation center (D), from passing through the passenger cabin (5). This way, the passenger cabin (5) architecture becomes more functional.
  • the mast (3) can move forward and backward on the boom (4).
  • the passenger cabin (5) is situated at a height above the wave and splash effect. It accommodates devices for comfort and management and the accommodation facilities.
  • the passenger cabin (5) can have any geometrical shape. During travel of the passenger cabin (5) at a certain height above water level, in order to prevent the air compression between the water level and the passenger cabin (5) in case of powerful winds, hovercraft-like skirt structures can be used which can descend and ascend to and from the water level from the outer lower edges of the passenger cabin (5).
  • the center board (6) is located between the passenger cabin (5) and the balance center (7).
  • the center board (6) has three functions. It neutralizes the lateral component of the force produced by the sail by means of the hydrodynamic force produced during movement. It accommodates the elevator which provides transport from the passenger cabin (5) to the balance center (7) or to the harbor gate and enables by means of the boom (4) that the force transmitted from the sail (2) to the rotation center (D) is passed through the center of the passenger cabin

  • the rotation center (D) of the transportation vehicle (1) generally remains in this section depending on the changing positions of the vehicle (1).
  • the power acquired by the transportation vehicle (1) from the wind by means of the sail(s) (2) is directed by the rotation center (D).
  • the wind power driving the vehicle (1) can not produce rotation moment since it affects the rotation center (D).
  • y component corresponds to the center board (6)
  • z component corresponds to the balance wings (9) and the remaining x component drives the transportation vehicle (1).
  • the underwater safari chamber (11) located at the front part of the balance center (7) is a section having a tourism value.
  • the illuminated environment reveals the true colors of the underwater life and a safe underwater observation can be made from the section constructed to be suitable for watching underwater.
  • the balance cylinders (8) can be used for four purposes. When the passenger cabin (5) is affected by the lateral winds at the harbor, the lifting moment of the submerging volume of the vehicle prevents it from flipping over. Hydraulic legs of the balance cylinders (8) are used for the transportation vehicle (1) to settle on the seafloor. In addition, they are the auxiliary movement elements by means of the motors and they generate the electricity required by the vehicle (1) by the help of the hydroelectric units (10). They store or commercialize the surplus. There are provided hydroelectric units (10) and a propeller (12) on the balance cylinders (8).
  • the balance wings (9) assume two functions. They provide connection between the balance center and the balance cylinders. They make use of the hydrodynamic power which is generated during movement in order to balance the upper component of the power directed to the rotation center by means of the sail.
  • the inventive transportation vehicle (1) maneuvers by rising to the water level as required by the depth at the harbor. When it stops, it is immobilized either upon contacting the seafloor by its hydraulic legs or by means of kedges. It utilizes the drive force at the balance center (7) and/or the balance cylinders (8) when in the harbor or close to the coast.
  • the sail (2) is started to be used.
  • the mast (3) is brought to the suitable angle and the sail (2) is hoisted.
  • the necessary adjustments are made for the sail (2) to direct the generated power to the rotation center (D). These adjustments are carried on during navigation with the sail (2) depending on the changes on the route to be followed, wind angle and wind speed.
  • the sail (2) area is adjusted according to the desired speed and energy. For these adjustments, the required electronic and computer support can be utilized.
  • the passenger cabin (5) can cruise on the center board (6) without being affected from the waves and splashes.
  • the vehicle has advantages, which even high class yachts can not offer, due to the oscillation-free and silent passenger cabin (5) having land architecture advantages and due to the underwater safari chamber (11). Since fuel is not used in open-sea navigation, the vehicle can make an economic navigation without getting worn out (the vehicle body is not subjected to aging caused by the waves and splashes and since there is no motor operating in the sail navigation there is no abrasion in the motor and the auxiliary units). Considering that it can be traveled to far away distances without worrying about fuel economy, personal or commercial services can be provided all year long working at seas suitable according to the season.
  • the inventive transportation vehicle (1) supports making various productions at open seas since it enables people to live in more economical conditions safely and without energy dependence. Moreover, it can be used in sea transportation with the economic drag force it generates based on wind power. In addition to this, it can generate electricity from the wind power surplus that the transportation vehicle (1) does not use for navigation by means of the hydroelectric units (10) located on the balance cylinders (8). It can generate the electricity required by the life support devices, and even more to transfer to general use.
