  • Stabilization system, in particular for a floating support, comprising at least three interconnected liquid reserves
    Patent number: 10683065
    Abstract: Stabilization system (1) for a system subjected to external stresses, in particular for a floating support structure, the stabilization system comprising at least three liquid reserves (2) and at least three connecting tubes (3). The liquid reserves are spatially distributed. Furthermore, the connecting tubes provide circulation of the liquid between all the liquid reserves. The invention further relates to a floating support structure comprising such a stabilization system.
