SECTIONAL ELASTICALLY BENDABLE SHIP, ITS ROCKING-DRIVEN THRUST SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CARGO DELIVERY BY SEA EXPLOITING ENERGY OF WAVES Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B63H19/02 B63H1/37 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: set of inventions relates to sea transport facilities. The proposed sectional elastically bendable ship represents three sections elastically pivoted together so that the central cargo section "hangs" on extreme very light inertialess sections to press them in water by the springs so, that they float horizontally. With sea disturbed, the balance it is broken to the extreme sections to roll. Relative movements of heavy central section and extreme inertialess sections rolled by the waves are transformed by mechanisms of oscillating fin thrust system into moves of thrust wings of the extreme sections that makes the ship to move. The method of cargo delivery by sea is based on formation of floating train-like structure according to the design of sectional elastically bendable ship wherein the cargo can be represented by both floating objects, including towed vessels, and not floating objects, including the tanks filled by liquid products.

EFFECT: expanded performances.
