RESEARCH ON CHOOSING THE BEST GAS FOR THE FLETTNER BALLOON, AN UNCONVENTIONAL POWER GENERATOR ENERGY DEVICE
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
In the last 30 years, the degree of pollution has been continuously increasing and the chemical structure of the atmosphere has changed due to large amounts of polluting emissions such as N0X, S0X, C02 and other particles resulting from combustion, which lead to the destruction of the ozone layer, climate change, greenhouse effect or acid rain. Because the price of oil is continuously increasing, the atmosphere is degrading due to emissions of exhaust gases and the general degree o f pollution of the Earth is increasing day by day, various solutions for the generation of non-conventional energies have begun to arouse the interest of parties involved in maritime transport. Non-conventional propulsion systems, which use wind energy or solar energy, are currently making a comeback after being ignored for a long time. By using an unconventional power generator energy devices, like Flettner Balloon, ship owners can save a great amount of fuel, thus making substantial savings and not least, reducing pollution, making environmentally friendly ships. In this article you can discover six major points, which are: 1) Flettner Balloon description, 2) Flettner Balloon components, 3) Determination of the gas with which to fill the Flettner Balloon, 4) The principle of operation for the Flattner Balloon, 5) Energy balance, 6) Conclusions.
