Abstract
A device for reducing hydrodynamic drag of a vessel including a hull; a fuel cell, and a system of conveyance of a first amount of air discharged by the fuel cell to at least one system of injection included by the hull, the system of injection being configured to inject the first amount of air opposite a surface of the hull intended to be immersed.
Claims10
A device for reducing hydrodynamic drag of a vessel comprising:
- a hull comprising at least one first means of injection of a fluid;
- a fuel cell, and
- a means of conveyance of a first amount of air discharged by the fuel cell to the at least one first means of injection, the at least one first means of injection being arranged to inject said first amount of air along a surface of the hull intended to be immersed.
A method for reducing the hydrodynamic drag of a vessel, the method comprising:
- conveying a first amount of air discharged by a fuel cell by a means of conveyance to a means of injection comprised by a hull, and
- injecting the first amount of air by the means of injection along a surface of the hull intended to be immersed.
