The invention belongs to the technical field of ships, and relates to an aerogel heat preservation ship rescue cabin, which comprises a cabin body. The cabin body and arc-shaped plates are made of aerogel materials. Water pumping devices are symmetrically sleeved outside the cabin body near two sides. A straight pipe is connected between the two water pumping devices. Strip-shaped water outlet holes are formed at front and rear sides of the straight pipe in a penetrating manner. A heat insulation plate is sleeved on the cabin body and hollow, and two ends thereof are communicated with the water outlet holes at front and rear sides of the straight pipe. Multiple drainage holes are formed in the inner wall, opposite to the cabin body, of the heat insulation plate in a penetrating manner. Multiple evaporation holes are formed in the top of the heat insulation plate in a penetrating manner.

A device for producing energy includes an air-towed vessel, and at least one water current turbine linked to the vessel by at least one electric cable. The water current turbine is linked to the vessel by at least one mechanical linking cable to be towed by the vessel. The water current turbine is spaced apart from the vessel, which makes it possible to increase the diameter of the turbine and to reduce the interactions between the turbine and the vessel. Moreover, it is then possible to provide a plurality of water current turbines towed by the same vessel.
