Description

AIR FLOW APPARATUS FOR ACCELERATING MARITIME VESSELS

This invention is about the transmission of air or gases produced in any way to the space of deckhead in between sea water and hereby producing bubbles and causing a reduction of friction and increase in the speed.

Maritime vessels use during acceleration much of their energy for splitting the water body in front them and this causes by a reduction in speed much more consumption of fuel. This invention aims at reduction of the pressure of the water body on the hull in the deckhead region by lowering the density of bubbles in the amount in the water body.

Air or gases don't have any effect of elimination during their interaction. They protect during any contact their mass volumes.

If air or gas is transmitted into the water, it could be seen that the air trapped because of the water density moves to the surface of the water. But neither of them distort the mass and volume integrity of each other. Nevertheless they diminish each other according to the measure of the volume in which they are. For

this reason water pressure decreases according to the amount of air or gas in the water. Mainly what led us to this point is the effect of air in water observed in a documentary.

As many people know, in explaining the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle there is a theory in the following manner: as an explanation of the lost ships in this area, the claim that because of volcanic gas emissions on the sea ground the ships passing the region sink as a result of the decrease of the lifting power below the degree of lifting ships was forwarded. In order to prove this there has been offered an experiment.

In the experiment the ground of the water filled pool was covered with air transmission tubes and with the ship model let into water the experiment has been realised. From the pores of the tubes laid on the ground of the pool air bubbles were started to be transmitted and the pool was full of air bubbles. After that by increase in the mount of the air the lifting power of the water has been weakened and the sinking of the ship was caused. This experiment gave me an idea about the activity of air within water. Hence the idea that together with the use of air in the proper location, in the right time and in the correct amount to benefit from the activity of air within water is possible arose in me.

My intention with proper location is to be seen by having a look at the rear of the ship; the same air transmission there, this transaction weakens the water and causes the propeller getting less power. By transmitting air to the bottom or to the sides of the ship, the lifting of the ship will be weakened. But the desired benefit is only to be obtained by transmitting air to the front underwater part of the ship. With right time he intention is to stress that by accomplishing this transaction in the standstill of the ship there will be no benefit at all, benefiting is only possible during the motion of the ship. My intention with the correct amount is to stress the lack of benefit if the air transmitted couid not influence the body size. Therefore to catch the needed amount is important. After ail of these informations we decided following specifications to be exemplified.

This invention provides vessels with the ability of keeping on water and moving on water (ships, steamboats, powerboats, yachts, sailings, speedboats ans so on) by transmitting air in the necessary amount to the in between of the vessel's body and sea water in the underwater region of their deckheads and by decreasing the mass weight of the water and hence minimizing its pressure on the hull and herewith reding the friction with a much higher velocity with the same amount of energy expenditure.

The benefits of the invention,

In case of the moving with the same speed as before the usage of the air fluidity apparatus the benefit to be taken is fuel saving,

in case of keeping the fuel expenditure at the same level the benefit is increase in speed.

The invention of this fiuidity apparatus with air or gas blowing to be used in maritime vessels is shown in the attached figures, especially in the figures

during motion of the vessel of which the appearance applied to the hull from outside. This apparatus indicates variations according to the size of the boat or ship where it is used. Its appearance in form is designed according to the aerodynamic structures of the boats and by taking into account aesthetic compatibility. There is no limitation to the amount of air outlet bifurcated distribution channels and this amount could be increased according to the needs resulting from the body size. On the air outlet pores the same applies and they could be increased according to the need. Also, in the manufacture of the body of this apparatus diferent materials from different substances could be used in air transmission tubes : molten metals, sheet, galvanized sheet, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, zinc, chromium, inox. Moreover, it is possible to utilize forming substances like plastic, fiberglass, carbon fiber.
