There is provided an assembleable boat made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) including a bottom wall assembly; a left side wall assembly; a right side wall assembly; and a front wall assembly. the bottom wall assembly, the back wall assembly, the left side wall assembly, the right wall assembly, and the front wall assembly are mechanically connected to form the assembleable boat; and each of the bottom wall assembly, the left side wall assembly, the right wall assembly, and the front wall assembly is made of FRP.
ASSEMBLABLE AQUABOARD MADE OF FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTIC (FRP)
There is provided an assembleable aquaboard made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), including: a first plate having a first T-shaped slot on the top surface and a second T-shaped slot on the right side surface, a second plate having a third T-shaped slot on the top surface and a fourth T-shaped slot on the right side surface; a third plate having a fifth T-shaped slot on the top surface, a sixth T-shaped slot on the right side surface; a fourth plate having a seventh T-shaped slot on the top surface and an eighth T-shaped slot on the left side surface; a first T-shaped connector to connect the first and the third plates; a second T-shaped to connect the second and the fourth plates; and a first I-beam connector to connect the first plate, the second, the third plate and the fourth plate to form the assembleable aquaboard.
Floating hybrid composite wind turbine platform and tower system with suspended mass
A wind turbine platform configured to float in a body of water and support a wind turbine thereon includes a buoyant hull platform. A wind turbine tower is centrally mounted on the hull platform and a wind turbine is mounted to the wind turbine tower. An anchor is connected to the hull platform and to the seabed, and a weight-adjustable mass is suspended from the hull platform.
SURFBOARD LAYUP SYSTEM AND METHOD
A surfboard includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is defined by epoxy impregnated fiber reinforcement fabric configured to cover a rocker and rails and wherein the first layer extends onto a deck at a middle portion of the surfboard and tapers toward a tip and tail so that the first layer does not extend onto the deck at the tip and the tail. The second layer is defined by epoxy impregnated fiber reinforcement fabric configured to cover the deck and wherein the second layer extends to cover the rails at the middle portion of the surfboard and tapers toward the tip and tail so that the second layer covers less than half of the rails at the tip and the tail.
Floating Foundation for Wind Turbines and Method for Manufacturing a Floating Foundation for Wind Turbines
A method for manufacturing a floating foundation for a wind turbine, wherein the floating foundation comprises load carrying structures and a plurality of air pontoons attached to the load carrying structures, is disclosed. The method includes cutting one or more fiber-reinforced composite structures, such as wind turbine blades, into a plurality of smaller pieces comprising fiber-reinforced composite, molding the air pontoons from the smaller pieces, and attaching the air pontoons to the load carrying structures.
Preformed Foundation Support For a Marine Vessel Gyro-Stabilization System
A preformed foundation support for a vessel gyro-stabilization system, comprises at least three of a first side support, a second side support, a third side support, and a fourth side support. The side supports define an opening for accommodating at least a portion of a vessel gyro-stabilization system, and the side supports comprise a cuttable portion for custom fitting the preformed foundation support in a vessel. The preformed foundation support structure is installed in the vessel by cutting the cuttable portion of the preformed foundation support for custom fitting the preformed foundation support to the structure support of the vessel. The preformed foundation support structure can be manufactured as a molded fiberglass structure.
UNITARY BOAT HULL AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
A method of manufacturing a boat hull comprising: forming a foam mold of a predetermined shape and size from one or more pieces of foam; cutting at least one C-channel into said foam running in a longitudinal or a lateral direction within the foam; and coating said foam with at least one layer of reinforcing fiber and resin.
