Description

DESCRIPTION

Boat propulsion and control system

Technical sector

For all types of ships or boats powered and propelled by helical turbines driven by electric motors. Although internal combustion engines can also be applied to them, especially those fed with low-pollution fuels, hydrogen, alcohol and synthetics, some mixed with natural gas. Which directly drive the turbines or drive electric generators that in turn feed the electric motors that drive the turbines.

The object of the invention consists of:

A small boat. medium or large dimensions, A control panel and command of the boat. A selector valve and other regulators to control the rpm of each of the turbines. Some batteries feed the propelling electric motors. Some fuel cells (hydrogen) powering the electric motors.

Some motors that drive electric generators that feed the electric motors. Some helical propulsion turbines in front or rear areas of the boats. Some tangential turbines with the vertical axis, which are applied in the front area of the boats to suck the water and reduce the frontal impact. Selector valves and other regulating ones to control and regulate the feeding of the motors and the rpm of the turbines. Some renewable energy systems: photovoltaic, wind or through wave energy that feed the motors and electrical circuits and Some security systems and failure warning of the propulsion systems.

It allows easy maneuvering without the help of other boats, tugboats, etc. and it is very difficult to run out of a propulsion system as it happens in some boats, especially those with a single engine.

Use light or ultralight, resistant, flexible and anti-corrosion materials. Preferably polymers.

Some fins in the front lateral area, out of the water, allow a slight elevation or sinking of the bow during the advance due to the action of the wind.

Provides a low noise system.

Optionally, the propulsion electric motors can have the rotor formed by permanent magnets fixed to the turbine rotor and the stator coils outside the water.

Optionally you can use air blowers or water pumps in the front and rear side areas to control the direction of the boat. Optionally you can add a photovoltaic solar energy collector on the roof.

It favors the environment and prevents climate change, especially if electrical systems and renewable energies are used.

Main advantages Because they have front-wheel drive, they have great stability. Frontal suction reduces resistance to advance. They have more performance than propellers and do not kill fish, whales, etc. By not using fossil fuels you benefit the environment.

Background of the invention

The most important drawbacks of the boats are the propellers due to their low performance, their complexity, both in their application and in their maintenance. Being also destroyers of fauna.

Explanation of the invention

The present invention tries to avoid the inconveniences that boats have due to the use of propellers, taking advantage of renewable energy and hydrogen by always being surrounded by water and reducing the frontal or forward resistance of boats.

The propulsion and control system for ships uses water propulsion turbines and is characterized by the fact that it includes:

a) A small boat. medium or large dimensions,

b) A control panel and command of the boat,

c) A selector valve and other regulators to control the rpm of each one of the turbines, d) Batteries that feed the propelling electric motors,

e) Some fuel cells (hydrogen) powering the electric motors,

f) Electric motors that carry the permanent magnet stator attached to the turbine shaft and the stator with the winding outside the wet area.

g) Some helical propulsion turbines in the front or rear areas of the boats, h) Some tangential turbines with the vertical axis that are applied in the front area of the boats to suck the water and reduce the frontal impact,

i) Some selector and other regulating valves to control and regulate the power supply to the motors and the rpm of the turbines,

j) Some renewable energy systems: photovoltaic, wind or wave energy that feed the motors and electrical circuits and

k) Safety systems and failure warning of the propulsion systems.

Optionally, combustion engines that drive the turbines directly or that drive the electric generators that feed the electric motors.

Optionally, it uses vertical axis tangential turbines in the lateral (several) and rear lateral areas to facilitate the control of the boat. And others also tangential in the front area to suck and reduce the frontal impact of the boat.

The turbines are of high resistance and flexibility. Especially the front ones. They can have a cylindrical, conical or frustoconical external shape.

Optionally, you can use air blowers or water pumps in the front and rear side areas to control the direction of the boat. Optionally, you can use internal combustion engines that drive the turbines directly or by means of generators and electric motors,

The blades of the helical turbines can be curved, so that during their rotation they tend to throw the water centripetally, towards the axis. In this way, their performance or efficiency is increased.

The forward thrusters suck water from the forward area, which reduces the frontal impact resistance of the ship and throws it backwards.

Useful for high-speed movement, transport, competition, fishing, walking and sports. In small boats the bottom area may be flat, longitudinally ribbed, or may have one or two lateral keels. High-speed ones can use lift and stabilizer wings aerodynamically. Said wings can carry skis in their lower area to increase stability on the water. In water-powered aircraft, the forward water jets suck water from the forward area, which reduces the frontal impact resistance of the craft.

Allows easy maneuvering without the help of other tugboats etc.

Use light or ultralight, resistant and anti-corrosion materials.

High-speed ones can use lift and stabilizer wings aerodynamically. Said wings can carry skis in their lower area to increase stability on the water. Some fins in the front side area, out of the water, allow a slight elevation or sinking of the bow.

Provides a very silent system.

Optionally you can add a photovoltaic solar energy collector on the roof.

It favors the environment and avoids climate change, especially if electrical systems are used.

Batteries are charged with renewable energy and in fuel cells (hydrogen) hydrogen is obtained from renewable energy.

Resistant and elastic or flexible materials, structural compounds, (Laminar composite structures, sandwich structures and non-laminar structures) can be used. They have high resistance: Low density: Shape flexibility: High dielectric strength: Corrosion resistance, good fatigue behavior. By having a good resistance to fatigue and presenting very good resistance to corrosion, maintenance tasks and repair costs are reduced. As polymers we have: Thermoplastics: Elastomers and Thermosets. Thermosetting resins are the most used in the naval industry: Polyester Resin, Vinylester Resin and Epoxy Resin. And Fiberglass and Carbon. Main coatings: Gelcoat and Topcoat.

The boats are also built with aluminum alloys in which nickel, chromium and copper are involved. Using the USA classification code, the most used are: 2014, 2024 and 2090 that use Al and Cu, which improve by adding Li, 6060 and 6061 add Mg and Si, 7075 that add Zn and 8090 Al and Li .

Aluminum and nickel metal foams can also be used.

Anti-corrosion or protective coated light metal alloys can be used where necessary.

All of these provide high mechanical resistance, hardness, high resistance to corrosion, increase resistance to fatigue and are very light in weight.

Among the organic coatings for the interior of the boat are lacquers and paints. And among the inorganic: Vitrifiers or vitreous, metallic enamels, with porous layers, polymers, etc.

Among the most important is the microlattice, formed by small nickel tubes of 100 nanometers.

The materials can be mixed with graphene or graphene oxide.

If steel is used, it must be stainless and preferably galvanized
