“PressurePores has a major mitigating effect on propeller cavitation and URN and can be incorporated into new and existing propellers,” says Lars Eikeland, Marine Director, Oscar Propulsion Published ...
The fewer vibrations a boat subjects you to, the more pleasant it is to be aboard. And while waves are certainly a big part of that equation, the boat’s power system is responsible for creating ...
The Kiel University of Applied Sciences (HAW Kiel) has started a research project dedicated to a problem that research has been grappling with for almost 20 years: the low-frequency underwater sound ...
The constant hum from human-made inventions (think massive shipping boats, deep-sea mining, and offshore oil rigs) has ...
Years after the space race, propeller design remained a sea-trial-and-error endeavor: haul, tweak the props, relaunch, sea-trial, repeat. Finally, the U.S. Navy paid ...
From around 1983 to 1987, I worked as a research assistant at a certain laboratory, where I used computers as tools for my work.In this extra edition, I will write about what I was researching using ...
