Abstract
The invention relates to a water-going assembly comprising a first buoyant structure (S1) comprising at least two hulls (F1, F1′; F11, F11′, F12, F12′) delimiting between them a space (E1) and a photovoltaic arrangement (PH1) occupying a substantial proportion of the footprint of the buoyant structure, and a second buoyant structure (S2) provided with an electric thruster (P2) and with a battery (B2), means for assembling the two buoyant structures detachably, with means of electrical connection between the photovoltaic arrangement of the first buoyant structure and the battery of the second buoyant structure, the latter being able to be used for moving the two structures (S1, S2) with a directional guidance, or as an autonomous motorized marine craft.
Claims51
A water-going assembly comprising a first buoyant structure comprising at least two hulls delimiting between them a space and a photovoltaic arrangement occupying a substantial proportion of the footprint of the buoyant structure, and a second buoyant structure provided with at least one electric thruster and a battery, an assembling arrangement for assembling the two buoyant structures detachably, the assembly comprising an electrical connector between the photovoltaic arrangement of the first buoyant structure and the battery of the second buoyant structure, for charging the battery, wherein the second buoyant structure is configured to be selectively used for propelling the two buoyant structures together and allowing them to navigate together with a directional guidance, and wherein the second buoyant structure is configured to be independently propelled as an autonomous motorized marine craft.
