SHIP WIND POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B63H9/61 F03D5/02 B63H9/67 F03D9/32 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: ship's wind power plant is designed to ensure the movement of the vessel under hard sails. It consists of several groups of rigid sails mounted on parallel bands, covering pulleys with horizontal axes of rotation. The pulleys are connected to electric generators. Pulleys and belts are placed on a turntable mounted on the deck of the ship, connected to the drive and control system. When the sails are blown by the wind, aerodynamic forces develop on them, which are transmitted to the hull of the vessel. The components of these forces are directed along the longitudinal axis of the vessel, ensure its longitudinal movement, the lateral components relative to the vessel are mutually balanced and at the same time set in motion the belts that rotate the pulleys and the electric generators connected to them that generate electricity.

EFFECT: due to the mutual balancing of the lateral forces, the roll and side drift of the vessel is eliminated.
