aspiration to make transport transportations more economic and ecologically safe stimulates the invention of new types of transportation. This time inventors sent the ship using as additional power a kite to regular swimming.
The last decade the company-proizvoditelyogromnykh of kites of an ispytyvalatekhnologiya which would allow to use wind force for commercial purposes. Having looked at modern navigation from the non-standard point of view, considering a possibility of use of wind force, scientists found practical application for kites. Ikhidey it was the simplest, clear and practical. The potential of kites allows to delay for itself not only people, as in kitesurfing, but also sea vessels displacement vneskolkotysyach tons.
Results of trial swimming were ambiguous. At once it became clear that kites even maximum to the razmeroyena can replace ordinary engines completely. But as the additional engine they can lower load of the main power plant, that considerably reducing fuel consumption. According to results of tests thanks to application of a kite to achieve economy of primerno10-12%dizelny fuel. And during experimental swimming twenty thousand dollars were saved on gas station.
Such results managed to be achieved thanks to moshchnostiv 1000 kW which was developed by a kite under the influence of strong wind. Creators of this auxiliary installation note that their child it is capable to work effectively both during a storm, and at quiet weather. They are not going to be satisfied with what has already been achieved and already began development of kites for even big ships.
