The company is even talking about how fusion reactors could one day power ships and planes.
and Plug ships into electricity grid so they dont idle in port reducing emissions equivalent to 12000 cars per ship.
It is a major problem on cruise ships, in restaurants, and in elder care homes, where the disease is transmitted easily by environmental contamination,
For food processing companies that produce and ship large quantities of foodstuff daily, listeria contamination sources can be a moving target that is often missed by current technology.
The armor provides multi-channel communications and advanced active protection for vehicles, ships and buildings.

Reflection seismology involves ships towing arrays of"air guns"that explode every 10 to 15 seconds to produce loud sound pulses.
More choice without borders Taylor with IDC says the growing selection of streaming content is another reason viewers are jumping ship from traditional TV.
Norsepower Oy Ltd. shared the successful trial of its Rotor Sail Solution, a wind propulsion technology for maritime ships.
Verified by ship design and operation software modeling firm NAPA and supported by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland,
The Norsepower Rotor Sail Solution is modernized a version of the Flettner rotor spinning vertical cylinder that harnesses wind power to propel a ship.

including charterers (those that rent ships), banks, port authorities, and ship registries. With this growing prioritization, these parties are starting to shift money towards
and reward more-efficient vessels. For example, today charterers representing 20 percent of global shipped tonnage have policies in place to avoid using the most-inefficient ships based on the GHG Emissions Rating,
developed by maritime risk management specialist Rightship and Carbon War Room. That a 450-percent increase in the past 2. 5 years,
As a result, banks are recognizing the impact that ship efficiency has on assets on their books
and demonstrate to shipowners that efficient ships are more profitable, this financial lever in the industry will act as a powerful incentive for shipowners to retrofit for greater efficiency.
Bore is already looking ahead to the opportunity of two rotors on one ship. e are proud to be the first shipowner to install the Norsepower Rotor Sail,
and scaled quickly. odern wind systems are demonstrating measurable and meaningful fuel savings for ships.

#Futuristic cargo vessel looks to revolutionize shipping Norwegian ship designer Lade AS has unveiled a futuristic new design for cargo vessels
Lade AS says that the ship hull will generate aerodynamic lift giving a pull in the ship direction.
which takes the ship to the necessary speed to generate aerodynamic lift on its hull. Additionally the Vindskip will employ a specialized computer program to analyze meteorological data
Lade AS plans to eventually license the Vindskip concept to shipping companies ship consultants and shipyards.
%and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80%compared to a traditional ship. The designer says that the design is suited particularly well to a number of passenger and container vessels.
and the inventory of traditional ships that are scheduled already to be built as factors that companies will need to consider before licensing a revolutionary design such as the Vindskip.
motorcycles, diesel trains, generators, container ships and aircraft, among others. It is hoping to have the same impact as the catalytic converter,
which can vary from a 100cc scooter to a Super Panamax ship p
#Herpes virus genetically engineered to destroy skin cancer cells A new study has pointed to a chink in the armor of skin cancer cells,
The proteins that mussels use to latch onto rocks, ships and jetties in the face of crashing ocean waves has been the focus of much research in this area.
This interim product already meets the standards for ship diesel, and, like fats and oils, can be converted through hydrogenation into diesel fuel for cars or kerosene for planes.
Sensors on the ground at Point Mugu mimic a ship landing system so the chopper simply picks up a radio beam
#Wind-powered freighters To make ships more eco-efficient, engineers have been working with alternative fuels. A Norwegian engineer is currently pursuing a new approach:
With Vindskiptm, he has designed a cargo ship that is powered by wind and gas. Software developed by Fraunhofer researchers will ensure an optimum use of the available wind energy at any time.
The International maritime organization (IMO) wants to reduce the environmental impact of ocean liners. One of the measures: Starting from 2020, ships will only be allowed to use fuel containing maximum 0. 1 percent sulfur in their fuel in certain areas.
However, the higher-quality fuel with less sulfur is more expensive than the heavy fuel oil
in order to maneuver the ship on the open sea while also maintaining a constant speed, it is equipped with an environmentally friendly
Considering meteorological data the software for the new ship type uses a navigation algorithm to calculate a route with the optimum angle to the wind for maximum effect of the design. ith our weather routing module the best route can be calculated
t angles close to headwind the wind generates a force in the ship direction. The ship is pulled forward.
Since the hull is shaped like a symmetrical air foil, the oblique wind on the opposite side leeward has to travel a longer distance.
This causes a vacuum at the windward side that pulls the ship forward, explains Vindskiptm patent-holder Lade.
This makes the freighter move at speeds of up to 18 to 19 knots, hence just as fast as conventionally powered ships.
are ships like car and truck carriers, big ferries, container ships and LNG CARRIERS. Terje Lade forecasts that the freighter will set sail as soon as 2019.
First, the ship model has to pass numerous tests in a marine research model tank also called a towing tank by experts.
I was sitting on a ship balcony thinking his is just my lot in life.
