  • Boat stabilizer
    Patent number: 7520238
    Abstract: A vessel hull stabilization system is presented that uses hydrofoils mounted on the vessel. The hydrofoils create a counteracting force to the waves that would otherwise cause the vessel to roll and pitch. The hydrofoil is connected to the vessel in both passive and an active modes. The hydrofoil consists of a number of configurations that include a number of attached struts and foils which provide additional counteracting forces in response to wave action.
