摘要:
A feasible force determining device provides, for each propulsion machine of a vessel, a first set of allowable control signals of a first type with values between a minimum and a maximum value, calculates, for each allowable control signal of each propulsion machine, a vector contribution of the propulsion machine to a set of feasible forces and torques being related to at least one type of motion of the vessel, adds, for each propulsion machine, each calculated vector to all vectors in the set of feasible forces and torques, forms a vessel operations space for the operation of the vessel, which vessel operations space is based on the set of feasible forces and torques and provided in at least one dimension, and applies (S210) the vessel operations space in the operation of the vessel.

摘要:
An electric saildrive (2) for a sailing boat. The electric saildrive (2) comprises an elongate hollow shaft and an elongate transmission axle extending longitudinally within said elongate hollow shaft, and a hollow housing (8) surrounding the elongate hollow shaft. A pod housing (9) is rigidly connected to the end of said elongate hollow shaft and the transmission axle to extends into an inner compartment of the pod housing (9). The inner compartment accommodates an angle drive connecting the transmission axle to a propeller shaft (10) which extends from said inner compartment to the exterior of the pod housing (9) through a second aperture in a sealed manner. The hollow housing (8) has an elongate cross-section so as to provide a fin-shape.

摘要:
A thruster assembly is provided for a marine vessel, the assembly having a propeller unit (14), a motor (10) and a drive shaft (12) linking the motor (10) with the propeller unit (14) to drive the propeller unit (14). The drive shaft (12) is foldable and defines a drive path between the motor (10) and the propeller unit (14). A housing (2) locates the propeller unit (14) in a storage configuration. The motor (10) is fixed with respect to the housing (2), the housing (2) being adapted to be fixed with respect to an opening in a hull (8) of the marine vessel. An actuator (22) is operable to move the propeller unit (14) from the storage configuration to a deployment configuration in a direction from inboard to outboard, the propeller unit (14) being extended from the hull (8) for use in the deployment configuration. The propeller unit (14) is supported by a support assembly (36) which is pivotable relative to the housing (2) about a pivot axis (A).

摘要:
A support strut (21) has an upper end (21A) rotatable supported at a bottom of a vessel and a lower end (21 B) supporting a casing (22). A first electric motor (30) within the casing (22) drives a propeller (50) via a first shaft (31). An annular nozzle (60) surrounds an outer perimeter of the propeller (50) and is fixedly supported on the casing (22) with a support construction (70) comprising at least three vanes (71, 72) extending in the radial direction between the outer perimeter of the casing (22) and the inner perimeter of the nozzle (60). A duct (65) for water flow is formed through the interior of the annular nozzle (60). The propeller (50) pulls the vessel in a driving direction (S1). The vanes (71, 72) are positioned after the propeller (50) in the driving direction (S1) of the vessel, whereby the vanes (71, 72) are optimized for redirecting rotational flow components of the flow produced by the propeller (50) into axial thrust.
