Abstract
The present invention relates to a smart ship, and in particular to a smart ship which makes it possible to enhance a sailing efficiency of a ship by minimizing an air resistance occurring due to a cross wind when a ship sails while generating an electric power by using a cross wind which power can be used for sailing or for an internal use of a ship. The smart ship of the present invention is equipped with a cross wind power generator for thereby effectively preventing a cross wind resistance and generating an electric power by using a cross wind, so the generated electric power can be used for sailing a ship and for an internal use of a ship, by means of which it is possible to enhance a sailing efficiency of a ship.
Claims3
A smart ship, comprising:
- a ship having a bow portion and a stern portion formed in a streamline shape;
- a first side and a second side of the ship, at least one of the first side and the second side of the ship extending from the bow portion to the stern portion;
- a power generation air path comprising a cross wind input port formed in at least one portion of the first side of the ship receiving a cross wind, and a cross wind discharging port formed in the second side of the ship discharging the cross wind received through the cross wind input port;
- and
- a cross wind power generator disposed in the power generation air path and generating electric power in response to the cross wind flowing through the power generation air path,
- said cross wind input port formed of a tube of which an inlet port is wider than an outlet port disposed to increase pressure along the power generation air path, said cross wind input port comprised of:
- a cross wind angle detector disposed to indicate an input angle of the cross wind;
- a cross wind guide wing diverting the cross wind to an inclined angle with respect to the ship into the cross wind input port;
- and
- a driving actuator rotating the cross wind guide wing to the inclined angle in correspondence with the input angle indicated by the cross wind angle detector.
