THE ALTERNATIVE
WATER MEANS OF TRANSPORT WITH SPEED OF MOVING TILL 180 KM/HOUR
Main power hydrodynamic
parameter of the water means of transport driven in viscous environment with
large speed, can be size of specific power-expenditure or factor of a flowing
around. The problem of decrease of power losses was mainly decided by giving to
a body of the transport of the optimum streamlined form. Such approach was
based on the concept, that the power expenditures (hydrodynamic losses) are
connected with overcoming of forces of viscosity between a surface of a body
and viscous environment, what has influenced the diverse technical and design
solutions, which mainly were reduced to decrease of viscosity and maintenance
of a laminar flowing around. The results quite satisfied at that period of
time, when as a change appeared ships with larger speeds. The achieved speeds
were received mainly at the expense of power of load-carrying installations and
satisfied operational needs of mankind of past times, and, on the other hand,
the gap between speeds of various means of transport was rather small.
Now significant differences
of speeds achievable by various means of transport take place. The greatest lag
on speed at a water transport in comparison with ground and air transport
explained in much greater density and viscosity of water in comparison with
air. It is natural, as what can be at the creation of this or that design the
emphasis was made mainly on overcoming of viscosity of environment. Actually,
at large speeds of moving of a body in viscous and dense environment, the a
body is influenced by the resultant force consisting from several components,
one of which is stipulated by viscosity and considerably concedes to other
components, and at large and super large speeds it can be neglected (as, for
example, it is possible to neglect strength of alloy steel at its focused
destruction). Depending on speed of moving of a body this or that force or
their combination prevails.
Easily, without obvious
efforts the marine animals move with rather large speeds. The accounts show,
that following the classical approach, the muscular energy of an animal
obviously will not suffice for achievement of speeds, inherent in it, in water.
We have found a principle, which allows water animals to achieve speeds,
inherent in them. On the basis of new basic and engineering solutions it is
possible to create various classes of ships capable at minor power-expenditures
to achieve large (more than 100 km/hour) speeds. We present comparative
characteristics:

Apparent factor of
hydrodynamic resistance of a new vessel has no physical essence and is
indicated for presentation. From comparison follows: the speed of a vessel
realized according to the new concept and at the alternative design solutions
will exceed speed of existing models of ships in 3,6 times at smaller expended
power.
Except water transport the
new principles of overcoming of resistance of dense viscous environment can be
used for ground and air transport. The created alternative means are patentable
and can open a new direction in the solution of creation of means of transport.
Six new classes of
alternative ships can be created depending on particular purpose, both for
surface and underwater movement, and for moving in air environment. The prospects
on creation of autonomous torpedo systems are opened with computer control and
with a capability of the latent moving on large depths, on large distances with
large speeds.
The investments on creation
of model with displacement of 5-10 tons will make US $200 thousand, term of
realization of model - 1,5 year, value of the know-how – US $15 million.
