Anti-Fouling System

An anti-fouling system comprising:

• a Programmable Logic Controller, (PLC) or a microcontroller configured to generate a random signal and provide the random signal to an element to be protected;
• and
• an amplifier in contact with the PLC or microcontroller configured to alter the power of the random signal emitted by PLC or microcontroller, wherein the random signal is provided to an inner portion of the element to provide protection on an outer portion of the element that is in contact with the water, wherein the random signal comprises a frequency range between 0.1 Hz and 100 KHz, a frequency change which occurs in a random time of less than 1 second, a voltage range between −12 V and 12 V, and a power per area of application between 0.01 W/m2 and 5 W/m2.

The anti-fouling system according to claim 1, further comprising an inductor in contact with the amplifier, wherein the amplifier is configured to receive the random signal generated, amplify the random signal, and send the random signal to the inductor, wherein the inductor is configured to receive the random signal from the amplifier and provide the random signal to the element.

The anti-fouling system according to claim 1, wherein the element to be protected comprises at least one material selected from:

• metal, plastic, resin material, concrete and/or masonry.

The anti-fouling system according to claim 2, wherein the element to be protected comprises at least one material selected from:

• metal, plastic, resin material, concrete and/or masonry.

The anti-fouling system, according to claim 1, wherein the element to be protected is a hull of a vessel.

The anti-fouling system, according to claim 2, wherein the element to be protected is a hull of a vessel.

The anti-fouling system, according to claim 3, wherein the element to be protected is a hull of a vessel.
