OPTIMIZING RESISTANCE OF BOAT USING MOVABLE BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17960145 titled 'OPTIMIZING RESISTANCE OF BOAT USING MOVABLE BATTERY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control system for a boat that includes a motor driving a propeller, a battery supplying electricity to the motor, an actuator moving the battery in a front-rear direction of the boat, a rail guiding the movement of the battery, and a sensor detecting the travel speed of the boat or the electricity consumption amount of the battery. The control system includes a control unit with a processor that controls the actuator to change the position of the battery based on the travel speed of the boat or the electricity consumption amount of the battery.
- The control system is adapted for a boat with a motor and propeller.
- The system includes an actuator that moves the battery in a front-rear direction.
- A sensor detects the travel speed of the boat or the electricity consumption amount of the battery.
- The control unit, with a processor, controls the actuator based on the detected parameters.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in marine vessels, such as boats and ships, to optimize battery usage and improve overall efficiency.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in optimizing the performance of boats by adjusting the battery position based on travel speed or electricity consumption, leading to better control and efficiency.
Benefits
The system offers improved control and efficiency in boat operations, potentially leading to cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the marine industry for manufacturers of boats and ships looking to enhance the performance and efficiency of their vessels.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing control systems for boats that adjust battery position based on various parameters, although the specific implementation described in this patent application may offer unique features or improvements.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall cost of operating a boat?
This technology could potentially lead to cost savings through improved efficiency, but the exact impact on operating costs would depend on various factors such as the size of the boat, usage patterns, and fuel costs.
What are the potential maintenance requirements for the control system?
The maintenance requirements for the control system, including the actuator, sensor, and processor, would depend on factors such as usage frequency, environmental conditions, and the quality of components used. Regular inspections and servicing may be necessary to ensure optimal performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control system, adapted for a boat including a motor driving a propeller; a battery supplying electricity to the motor; an actuator moving the battery in a front-rear direction of a boat; a rail guiding a movement of the battery; a sensor detecting a travel speed of the boat, or detecting an electricity consumption amount of the battery. The control system includes a control unit, including a processor, configured to control the actuator to change a position of the battery based on the travel speed of the boat, or based on the electricity consumption amount of the battery.
