Extremely quick and cheap transportation - Upgrade
Extremely quick & cheap transportation Author: David Judbarovski, judbarovski@gmail.com Linkedin.com It is not a ground effect vehicle, but much better. One of key elements of my ship is to add the thin water steam cocoon created by electric heating a hull of the ship. It flows slightly lower than sea level, and the ship’s nose is tilted and forcing the upstream water to be thrown upward in the air, forming a surface wave along both sides of the ship route. It is new kind of sea ship, breaking all stereotypes. If ship is L * B * H = 100 m * 10 m * 6 m = 6000 m3 = 6,000 ton displacement, the outer surface S = 2 * (6 +10) * 100 = 3200 m2, steam cocoon is created by power of Wsc = 5000 W/(m2 * K) * 3200 m2 * 10 K = 160,000 kW, speed of v = 900 km/h = 250 m/s, t = (6 m/ tan 15 = 22.4 m) / 250 = 0.09 sec, and Wp = 9.81 * (6 m/2) * (22.4 * 10 * 6) m3/0.09 = 441,000 kW / 0.85 = 520,000 kW, here 0.85 is a mover efficiency, and totally W = 520,000 + 160,000 = 680,0...
