GLIDER Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC B63G8/00 B63C11/48 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ship building, namely, to gliders. Microcontroller control unit 21 generates signals that start electric pump 3 for pumping outboard water into ballast bag 4 and electric motors 37, opening covers 35, electric motor 8, moving platform 10 with storage battery 11 to front part of housing 1. Servomotors 12 turn control rudders 13. Due to filling of ballast bag 4 with sea water, glider is immersed. Flatness of the submersion trajectory is ensured by the glider centre of mass displacement and control rudders 13 turn angle. Water flows through vertical through shafts 31 provide operation of capsular hydrogenerators 32, which generate current recharging accumulator battery 11. For surfacing, electric pump 3 starts pumping water from ballast bag 4, electric motor 8 moves platform 10 with storage battery 11 to housing 1 stern. Shape of the surfacing trajectory is determined by turning control rudders 13 with the help of servomotors 12. Water flows through vertical through shafts 31 provide operation of capsule hydrogenerators 32, current of which recharges accumulator battery 11.

EFFECT: increase in autonomous navigation time.
