The first and second components are in the form of separate parts for jointly forming the rotor blade. The first component is of at least a first material and the second component is of at least a second material.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a Magnus rotor comprising a carrier arranged in the interior of the Magnus rotor, a rotor which in operation of the Magnus rotor rotates about the carrier, a bearing which carries the rotor on the carrier and a heating device provided for producing heated air in the interior of the carrier. The carrier has at least one opening at its outside, which connects the internal space in the carrier to the intermediate space between the carrier and the rotor in such a way that air can pass through between those two spaces.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a Magnus rotor comprising a carrier, and a rotary body mounted rotatably to the carrier, as well as a drive device for driving the rotary body. The carrier has at least one opening which connects an internal space in the carrier with an external space in such a way that air can pass through between those two spaces. The invention further concerns a method of cooling elements of a Magnus rotor, a method of heating a rotary body of a Magnus rotor and a ship.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ship, in particular a cargo ship, having a power supply system. The invention relates in particular to a ship having a plurality of diesel electric systems for providing electrical power that are disposed within the ship, wherein a plurality of diesel electric systems are each associated with a common opening for removing the diesel electric systems. The invention further relates to a power supply system for a ship and to a method for controlling the power supply system of a ship.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Magnus rotor having a cylindrical body of revolution for converting wind power into a feed force using the Magnus effect. The Magnus rotor having: a rotational shaft about which the body of revolution rotates; a support member on which the body of revolution is mounted; and a body of revolution which has stiffening ribs for the reinforcement thereof. The body of revolution is primed in at least two planes arranged at a mutual spacing in the axial direction perpendicular to the rotational shaft of the body of revolution in order to accommodate balancing weights. The invention further relates to a method for balancing a body of revolution according to the invention.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a ship, in particular a cargo ship, having a load surface for receiving load items, in particular piece goods. The invention concerns in particular a ship whose load surface has a plurality of receiving means which can be connected to fixing means and which are distributed in a grid over the load surface. The invention further concerns a floor element for a ship, in particular a cargo ship, and a securing element.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a Magnus rotor comprising a carrier arranged in the interior of the Magnus rotor, a rotor which rotates about the carrier in operation of the Magnus rotor, a plate which horizontally closes off the rotor, and a bearing which carries the rotor on the carrier. The rotor has at least one opening in the plate. The carrier has at least one fixing point for lifting the Magnus rotor by means of at least one fixing means and a lifting apparatus.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a ship, in particular a cargo ship, comprising at least one Magnus rotor for driving the ship, which has a stationary carrier. The invention concerns in particular a ship in which arranged on the carrier is a measuring device for determining a flexural loading on the carrier.The invention further concerns a method of determining the thrust of a Magnus rotor, a Magnus rotor and a carrier for mounting a Magnus rotor.
Abstract:
A twisted rudder blade for a ship having a twist that is adapted to the configuration of the flow of the water in the region of the rudder blade if no propeller in operation is disposed in front of the rudder blades in the direction of travel of the ship.
