    Abstract: An upright tank-based propulsion assistance rotor sail system is proposed. The system may include an upright tank fixed to a hull of a ship, and a rotor sail in a form of a cylindrical shape having a length and diameter greater than or equal to the upright tank, and installed to surround part or all of an outer circumferential surface of the upright tank. The rotor sail may be rotatably installed while surrounding the upright tank concentrically with the upright tank, and may be movable along a height direction of the outer circumferential surface of the upright tank depending on situations to maintain a predetermined height. In addition, a vessel equipped with the upright tank-based propulsion assistance rotor sail system is proposed, The fuel tank may be installed to stand upright on the vessel so that the rotor sail is installed to be movable in the vertical direction.

    Abstract: A multiple oscillating water pumping device includes: a wing member disposed in fluid to generate a lifting force using the flow energy of the fluid; a rotation device to reciprocally rotate the wing member to periodically change the direction of the lifting force acting on the wing member; an arm is rotatably coupled to the wing member, the arm being reciprocally rotated about a pivot shaft by the lifting force acting on the wing member; and a cylinder where fluid enters and exits according to the internal pressure that is periodically increased and decreased by the reciprocating motion of a piston that is connected with the arm through a connecting rod. The multiple oscillating water pumping device is configured to minimize the supply of a power source required for operation and to minimize the loss of head when pumped water flows toward a reservoir along a conduit.
