Embodiment Construction

[0065] figure 1A schematic side view of a vessel according to an embodiment of the invention is shown, equipped with a telescopically retractable rotor in an extended operating state; the vessel 1 is provided with a cargo compartment 4 for storing cargo. The vessel 1 is also equipped with a thruster system 5 for propelling the vessel 1 . The hull 3 includes the aforementioned cargo compartment 4 . The upper part of the hull 3 is formed by the deck 2 . A cylindrical rotor 6 is placed on the deck 2 . A rotary drive 8 is also located on the deck 2 for rotating or spinning the rotor 6 to a desired rotational speed. The rotor 6 itself comprises several tubular sections 9 . The tubular sections 9 are telescopically fitted to each other, their longitudinal axes being substantially in line with each other and their outer surfaces partially overlapping. Along the longitudinal axis of the rotor 6, a displacement element 7 is placed for extending the rotor 6 to its operative state a...

Abstract

The invention relates to a vessel including a hull and a deck, a substantially cylindrical rotor having a peripheral wall rotatable with respect to the deck around a longitudinal center line, the rotor being at a lower end connected to the deck and including an upper end plate (16), the rotor being mounted on the deck in such a manner that in an operational state the rotor is substantially vertically oriented and in an inoperational state the upper end plate is situated in the vicinity of the deck, the end plate extending transversely to the longitudinal center line, wherein the end plate is provided with movable edge segments (39); that in the operational state of the rotor extend radially outwardly from the peripheral wall to an extended position and in the inoperational state of the rotor are moved to a retracted position that is situated closer to the peripheral wall than the extended position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vessel comprising a hull and a deck, a substantially cylindrical rotor having a peripheral wall rotatable relative to the deck about a longitudinal centreline, the rotor being connected to the deck at a lower end and comprising an upper end plate, the rotor below is mounted on the deck in such a manner that in the operative condition the rotor is oriented substantially vertically and in the non-operative condition the upper end plate is located adjacent the deck, wherein the end plate extends transversely to the longitudinal centreline. Background technique [0002] Such a Magnus-effect rotor is known from US 4,602,584. It has long been known that a cylinder rotating about its longitudinal axis produces lift when placed in an airflow flowing perpendicular to the cylinder's longitudinal axis, much like a lift produced by a vane when placed in a laminar airflow The resulting lifting force. This lifting force is named after it...
