Wind turbine for ships
On the sea the wind blows, unhindered, strong and well directed, which is why offshore wind farms are installed.
The electricity produced by the seaside plants is then sent to land and also used remotely.
The ship is always exposed to the wind, less in port and more in the open sea, so it is an excellent support for wind turbines.
Furthermore, the energy, produced by the wind turbines on the ship, is used on site without energy transportation costs.
The particular wind turbines, patented for ships, produce kinetic energy which, transformed into electricity, is used on board for lighting and other services.
Marine wind turbines of adequate power produce kinetic energy, which, without being transformed into electrical energy, pushes the ship's propulsive propellers into rotation, via motion transmission organs.
This happens without the use of alternators and electric motors and therefore without loss of energy, which would instead occur if the energy were transformed, first from kinetic to electric via alternators and subsequently, via motors, from electrical to kinetic.
The patented wind turbines for ships are not normal turbines simply mounted on the ship, they are integrated into the structure of the ship.
If possible, it is preferable that the design takes place in concert with the design of the vessel to obtain optimal solutions from a structural and functional point of view, both for the vessel and for the turbine.
Ships are among the most specialized vehicles, an aircraft carrier is different from a cargo ship and a cruise ship is different from an oil tanker.
Each type of ship should use specific generators, with particular powers and dimensions, placed and integrated in specific areas of the ship.
3D files of wind turbines are available to facilitate their integration with the structures of the vessel.
The blades of naval wind turbines are obviously pushed by the wind, but they are protected and arranged in such a way that they cannot cause damage of any kind either to the ship or to the environment surrounding the ship.
