  • Patent number: 6099368
    Abstract: For any directed sea waves the rocking propelled ship can reach high speeds if it utilizes an sea waves energy by means of1. A rocking propulsor, which is a couple of hydrofoils kept elastic cross by pivots on the extreme points of streamline narrow keel-rocker, extended far out off long sizes of the ship and thus wags hydrofoils vertically with a speed and an amplitude being sufficient for its proper work;2. A "pendulum design" of a rocking propelled ship, described by a light wide body with weight, concentrated in a middle lowest ship's part and having a vertical keel with a heavy bob. This design provides the highest efficiency of an energy transmission from waves to ship rocking.In case of need to increase ship's speed some more its rocker should be rigged by an on-board oscillator, which is a central heavy flywheel, which is alternately twisted up to speed by a serve motor in both directions on cross axle in time (resonance) of ship rocking.
