#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.
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:
Starting from 2020, ships will only be allowed to use fuel containing maximum 0. 1 percent sulfur in their fuel in certain areas.
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.

and plans to ship out the first Ampy gadgets in the fall to crowdfunding backers and people who preorder it online.

Moky costs $149 and will ship in October. Its maker is hoping to raise $30, 000 by July 9.
