摘要:
A rigid marine sail comprises sail portions (6B) pivotably movable between an open and a closed position about an axis forward of a rotatable mast (1). Signals representative of the wind velocity at predetermined time intervals and signals representative of the wind direction at said intervals are each smoothed (16) and, on the basis of the smoothed signals, a determination is made whether the sail portions are to be open or closed, and the sail is operated accordingly (11,17,18,19). An optimum sail angle is determined for maximum propulsive effect when open and minimum said wind resistance when closed, and the mast and sail is rotated (5,20,21,22) as a whole in accordance with the optimum angle. This permits automatic and effective utilization of the wind force when of a suitable velocity in a suitable direction.
摘要:
A marine sail comprising a right-hand and left-hand sail portion (7A, 7B) pivoted to a common vertical axle (14) spaced forward of a mast (6) of a ship. The sail portions are arranged to substantially surround the mast to present a substantially streamlined cross-sectional shape when in the folded position, whereby to reduce wind resistance when the sail is not deployed. The mast can be allowed to rotate freely and is nearer the leading than the trailing edge of the folded sail, whereby the folded streamlined sail tends to align itself with the wind direction.

A method of reducing a nitrogen oxide content in gas is disclosed. In this method, subject gas containing nitrogen oxide is supplied to a gas passage (2) of a surface discharger (1) to decompose the nitrogen oxide content in the gas into nitrogen gas.
