METHOD OF OPERATION OF POWER-GENERATING SEMI- SUBMERSIBLE PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: rocketry. SUBSTANCE: method is designed for building floating platforms used, particularly, for launching of missiles. Proposed method comes to generation of electric energy by generator of swirl hydraulic motor at existence of currents under platform and by generators of swirl wind motors at simultaneous turning of windmills around vertical axle of platform for action of wind onto turboblades-sails of movable equipment and periodical consumption of power coupled with use of screw cut of bottom and contact of anchors of widened submerged part of platform with water reservoir ground. Missile is launched from central silo. Before launching, platform is set into rotation by propellers of widened submerged part of platform around said vertical axle to weaken swell by centrifugal forces of water jets getting off screw cut. Similar short-time rotation of platform is effected when group of anchors come in contact with ground. EFFECT: increased generation of power which can be used for stabilization of platform and provision of reliable launching of missile. 2 dwg
