Wind generators for ships and boats

At sea, the wind blows freely, strongly, and in a well-directed manner, which is why offshore wind farms are built.

The ship is exposed to the wind, less so in port and more so in the open sea, and is therefore a formidable support for capturing the energy of the wind.

The energy, produced by the patented nautical wind generators, and also the stored energy are used on board the vessel, without transport costs.

The patented wind turbines for ships produce kinetic energy, at least some of which is converted into electrical energy and used for lighting and other onboard services.

Furthermore, the kinetic energy produced by naval wind generators is able to move the ship in two ways:

1 - by rotating the immersed propellers, via electric motors,

2 - mechanically, directly and also by means of motion transmission organs.

In the second case, the ship is propelled without the use of alternators and electric motors and therefore without the loss of energy, which inevitably occurs when energy is first transformed from kinetic to electrical using alternators and then transformed from electrical to kinetic using electric motors.

When two identical wind vessels, one underway and the other in port or anchored, are equally oriented to the wind and the wind blowing on one has the same strength as the different wind blowing on the other, then they produce the same amount of energy.

This is because the patented marine wind generators do not capture the apparent wind (dependent on the movement of the vessel), but only the real wind.

If the apparent wind were captured, for example, in the case where there is no wind and the ship is being propelled by an internal combustion engine, the energy (fuel) consumed to move the ship would cause apparent wind which in turn would drive the wind generator.

Due to the inevitable energy losses resulting from the aforementioned energy transformations, the amount of energy consumed by the engine would then produce a smaller amount of energy via the wind generator, and this consequence would be uneconomical.

The wind turbines, patented for ships, are not turbines mounted on ships, but rather wind generators integrated into ships and other vessels, both motor and sailing.

Among the wind vehicles, ships are the most specialized ones, for example, a merchant ship has different shapes and structures than a cruise ship, a yacht, an ocean-going catamaran or an oil tanker.

Wind generators, with different power and size, are integrated into different parts of different ships.

The patented naval wind turbines are obviously powered by the wind, but they do not have exposed blades and, therefore, their operation does not pose any danger either on board or around the vessel.

In relation to the strategic autonomy of a ship, wind propulsion is, to a certain extent, an alternative to nuclear propulsion, with lower costs and fewer risks.

When the vessel is moored and there is adequate ventilation, the wind power generating system is not only able to produce energy accumulable on board the ship, but it is also able to supply electrical energy to other civilian and military users, at sea and also on land.
