The wind converted to a hydraulic motive force for the propulsion of amodular boat

摘要

One or more windpumps 2 of the air turbine type mounted on a plate 1 andadjustable by 360 degrees in order to find the wind, transmit their rotationto a hydraulic paddlewheel 6 in a rotation proportion of five to onerevolution for the paddlewheel. The proportion will be one aquatic propellerrevolution for three of the turbine 2. The orientation of the air turbines 2,the rudders of the catamaran-boat and the gears 4 in the machine room 5 arecontrolled from the wheelhouse 3. The boat described is of the catamaran typeand is modular. Its hulls are standard units 10 assembled by angle sectionsand spacers. These units 10 act as floats and at the same time are holdsintended for multiple uses. These units 10 are easy to replace in the eventof damage and, above all, allow the length of the boat to be extended. As anindirect result the living quarter units may also increase.
