Abstract
Disclosed herein are hydrofoil vessels and systems integrated with renewable energy sources. In one aspect, the hydrofoil vessel includes one or more hulls, an omni-directional platform connecting the one or more hulls of the hydrofoil vessel. The omni-directional platform may include at least one of: a sail, a wind turbine, a solar panel, a hydroelectric motor, a hydrofoil controller platform, and a battery component. Also disclosed herein are methods and computer readable medium for controlling an omni direct modular hydrofoil vessel having one or more hulls integrated with renewable-energy sources.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a hydrofoil vessel comprising one or more hulls, wherein the hydrofoil vessel is an omni direct vessel having a circularly symmetric structure configured to allow for change of movement direction without turning the vessel, the one or more hulls comprising:
- a rudder including one or more rudder blades configured to define a direction of movement and change direction of movement immediately without turning the vessel;
- an omni-directional platform connecting the one or more hulls of the hydrofoil vessel;
- and
- wherein the omni-directional platform further comprises at least one of:
- a sail;
- a wind turbine;
- a solar panel;
- a hydroelectric motor;
- a wind turbine sail;
- a hydrofoil controller platform;
- and
- a battery component;
- wherein the one or more rudder blades is attached to a central part of the platform.
