Abstract
The present application relates to a floating module, a floating platform assembled by multiple floating platforms, and an offshore system assembled by multiple floating platforms for harvesting green energies in a large body of water. The floating module comprises an external frame having a plurality of side tubes for providing buoyance to the floating module; and an internal frame coupled to the external frame. In addition, the floating module has a mooring mechanism for fixing the floating module in position at sea or ocean. Methods of making the floating module and assembling the floating platform and the offshore system are also disclosed.
Claims27
A floating module, comprising:
- an external frame having a plurality of side tubes for providing buoyance to the floating module;
- an internal frame coupled to the external frame, wherein a facility is configured to mount on the internal frame;
- and
- a mooring mechanism coupled to the external frame or internal frame for fixing the floating module in position, wherein the mooring mechanism comprises:
- at least one string comprising a plurality of elastic branch strings secured at the external frame;
- and
- a sinker coupled to the elastic branch strings and configured to be submerged under the sea for fixing the floating module at a specific location on the sea;
- wherein the elastic branch strings are configured to remain under constant tension with no slack to enhance stability of the floating module at the sea and to make the floating module adaptable to harsh offshore conditions.
