SHIPBOARD PROPULSIVE COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B63H9/02 B63H19/02 

FIELD: shipbuilding; construction of marine sail and rotor propulsive complexes employing wind energy.

SUBSTANCE: proposed shipboard propulsive complex has rotor and sail propulsors and electric power source. Used as electric power source are electric wave generators; each generator includes magnetic armature connected with float and placed in vertical guide made from non-conducting material in form of perforated tube for communication with surrounding medium; electric generators are also provided with stators enclosed in magnetic circuit and placed in boxes embracing the guides. Masts and rotors may be telescopic in construction for stowing them inside ship. It is good practice to protect the generators with shields.

EFFECT: reduced consumption of fuel due to enhanced efficiency of employment of wave energy.
