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:
The invention concerns a ship comprising at least one electric motor for driving a ship and a cooling device for cooling the at least one electric motor by means at least one coolant. It is further according to the invention that the cooling device has a heat exchanger adapted to cool the at least one coolant by means of sea water.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a ship comprising at least one hold, and at least one ventilation apparatus for ventilation of the hold, which has at least one air inlet and at least one air outlet connected to the air inlet by means of a passage. In particular the invention concerns a ship having a ventilation apparatus, wherein the passage has at least one portion arranged above the air inlet. The invention further concerns a ventilation apparatus for ventilation of the hold of a ship.
Abstract:
There is provided a turbine for a hydroelectric power installation. The turbine has a rotor with a plurality of blades, with the rotor being arranged in front of a guide apparatus (in the flow direction). The pitch angle of the blades of the rotor is adapted to be variable. As the rotor is arranged in front of the guide apparatus (in the flow direction) the flow meets the rotor first and only thereafter meets the guide apparatus, thus affording optimum flow conditions for the 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.

Abstract:
A Magnus rotor comprising a support that is arranged inside the Magnus rotor, a rotor that rotates about the support during operation of the Magnus rotor, a bearing that supports the rotor on the support, and a shaft that penetrates the bearing and is connected to the rotor above the bearing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Magnus rotor comprising a cylindrical body of revolution for converting wind power into a feed force using the Magnus effect. The Magnus rotor comprises: 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 means 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 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.
