The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of power generators, and in particular relates to a marine support column structure with power generation function. The support column structure solves technical problems that existing marine power generators can only generate power with single energy and have few functions and so on. The marine support column structure with power generation function includes a column body. The support column structure of the present disclosure is capable of generating power with sea wind and waves, and is further capable of serving as a guardrail.

A monopod for mounting to the boat seat mount of a marine vessel, such as a bass boat or speed boat, which is capable of providing power for mobile accessories via a second monopod affixed to the navigation light port of the boat. The monopod is extendable to heights up to or exceeding eight feet (8′) above the deck of the boat, providing exceptional views for recording with a mounted camera while users participate in sports or other events within the boat. A release mechanism allows one portion of the monopod to telescope away from a second portion, thereby extending the monopod.

The disclosed invention is a passive flow control device, mounted vertically forward of the helicopter launch and recovery area on a ship flight deck. The vertical flow control device reduces the airwake effect on the ship flight deck for safer operation of helicopters during launch and recovery missions from ships. The device is retractable to reduce the ships topside signature and increase the ship's military effectiveness. It can also be modified for maximum effectiveness based on a combination of the ship's topside features, the ship's operation speeds, helicopter operations, and environmental conditions.

The present invention relates to improvements to fill prevention devices and more particularly to a permanently installed fill prevention device used for potable water tanks. There are other fill prevention devices however because other fill prevention devices related to potable water systems require them to be removed before filling the water tank, these other devices are difficult to use and are often lost. The present invention discloses a circular disk (1) made from plastic such as Nylon, High Density Polypropylene, or other inert durable plastic. The outer area of the disk is threaded (3) to allow this fill prevention device to be threaded into existing potable water deck fill (7) When in place the device will prevent the insertion of a fuel nozzle, hence keeping the water tank and potable water contamination free. From the center of the circular disk is a hollow cylinder (2) which rises vertically and is connected to the inner wall of the circular disk. The diameter of this hollow cylinder is such so that the end of a garden hose (5) can be inserted over it to fill the water tank. Along the bottom edge of the device are holes (4) that allow air and excess water to escape. This device when inserted into an existing deckfill (7) creates both a mechanical barrier along with a visual deterrent due to it's blue color which is consistent with containers used for potable water.

This device when inserted still allows the existing deck cap (6) to be used.

This fill prevention device can also be manufactured into a deckfill (12) as shown in FIG. 7.

The advantage of having this device in place is to prevent the costly error of accidentally adding fuel to a watercrafts potable water system. This is an error that occurs often and results in irreparable damage to the watercrafts potable water tank resulting in thousands of dollars of damage; in most cases causing the need for expensive replacement of the watercrafts water tank system. There is also the creation of a hazardous waste material when mixing fuel within the water system. This will affect the need for proper hazardous waste disposal.
