said Leah Hull, additive manufacturing manager for Raytheon. hen we print something, we have fewer piece parts,
Hull said. our development cycles are shorter; youe getting parts much faster. You can get a lot more complex with your design
since the early 1980s when Chuck Hull invented the first commercial 3d printer, based on a technology called sterolithography.
Originally designed to look for cracks in nuclear reactors water tanks the robot could also inspect ships for the false hulls
but it s a liability when it s traveling in a straight line scanning the hull of a ship.
while she and Asada have demonstrated the robot s ability to travel along a smooth surface the hulls of many ships will have encrustations that might prevent continuous contact.
or chemical agents to drug interdiction discovery of stress fractures in submerged structures and hulls or even faster processing
is for an antifouling coating on the hulls of ships, where microbes and creatures such as barnacles can accumulate
Stocker says in some cases that phenomenon could lead to new approaches to tuning flow rates to prevent fouling of surfaces by microbes potentially averting everything from bacteria getting a toehold on medical equipment to biofilms causing drag on ship hulls.
Anodized metal could also have marine applications, such as keeping ship hulls free of algae. The collaborating group from Rensselaer Polytechnic institute is led by Diana Borca-Tasciuc, associate professor of mechanical, aerospace and nuclear engineering.
and a self-righting hull to enable it to remain at sea for long periods. Wave Gliderthe Wave Glider is an autonomous environmentally-friendly oceangoing vehicle developed by Liquid Robotics.
Located between the outer hull and the cargo holds and consisting of beams and stiffeners separated by bulkheads ballast tanks form much of a ship#s supporting structure.
#Royal Navy could soon be using remote-controlled warships with'see-through'hulls Sleek and stealthy, it resembles something from Star wars. In fact,
could be a generation of largely remote-controlled seafaring beasts with peed of light weaponsand a hull that can make them invisible to the naked eye.
while the ultra-strong acrylic hull, coated in a form of carbon called graphene, could be made see-through.
The outrigger hulls would contain tubes to fire special torpedoes which travel through water in a near frictionless air bubble that allows speeds of more than 345mph.
U s. Navy spends tens of millions of dollars each year dealing with the ramifications of biofouling on hulls.
a material that can heal itself to seal hull breaches. The International space station is the most heavily shielded craft ever built,
These bumpers are essentially thin layers of material that stand off from the hull of the station by at least several centimeters.
The result is a lower force spread over a larger surface area of the actual hull. If the bumpers were to fail
the station would have a weak spot that could lead to a hull rupture. The work by U of M scientists might offer an added layer of protection.
Should a projectile pierce the hull of a ship that includes this material, it will no longer be sealed.
so it doesn have to be as strong as the undamaged hull. It just needs to be good enough to keep everyone alive
uses a touchscreen and helmet-mounted interface to visualize data collected from a host of sensors on the hull of the vehicle,
Underwater'robot'with 3d printed hull and elastic membrane demonstrates ultra-fast escape inspired from Octopus.
U s. Navy spends tens of millions of dollars each year dealing with the ramifications of biofouling on hulls.
and rice hulls for removing arsenic from water but these so far have shown limited efficiency.
a patent-pending technology that uses a growing organism and byproducts from food production (oat hulls from New york, cotton hulls from Texas and rice hulls from Arkansas) to create a strong composite material.
Other researchers from the University of Hull, EPA, University college London and Wageningen University also took part in the research.
Expedition 38 Commander Oleg Kotov and Flight engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy of the Russian federal space agency installed the cameras on the hull of the station's Zvezda Service Module.
and aerospace the indskipwith its hull shaped like a symmetrical air foil is designed to use the wind for propulsion.
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
The Alesund-based company has already been awarded two patents for the hull ability to generate aerodynamic lift
Researchers from the EPA, University of Hull, Wageningen University and University college London participated in the study y
The hull of the freighter serves as a wing sail. On the high seas, Vindskiptm will benefit from free-blowing wind making it very energy efficient.
Since the hull is shaped like a symmetrical air foil, the oblique wind on the opposite side leeward has to travel a longer distance.
and limiting the buildup of organisms on surfaces such as ship hulls. There are many ways to produce patterning as a fixed, unvarying surface,
the hulls of boats and aircraft structures. Barber said: iology is a great source of inspiration
