Note: My sea transport can be used for military quick response, and as a civil cargo ship too. At first, I disclose my idea quite popularly.

Abstract
Being compared with typical destroyer (Type 055, Japan) = USD, 60,000,000,00; 13,000 ton (dwt, deadweight); 112,000 kW; 56 km/h,
my ship is better than the said destroyer in 4.5 times by CAPEX (capital expenditures)  and 3 times by OPEX (operational expenditures), and can substitute 3 destroyers, by much cheaper way

Very shorty,
Two key elements of my ship are
(1) Slightly lower than sea level, the ship’s nose is tilted back and like a wedge it bends the upstream water upward in the air, and it substitutes the enormous water resistance by the air resistance being in three orders of magnitude less one. Nevertheless, the drag (frontal)
force would be quite big. Such effects are inherent for very big velocity, because the water can be considered as incompressible, but flexible matter in that case.

It is new kind of sea ship, breaking all stereotypes.
(2) to add a thin air cocoon created by trickles of pressed air through and around a perforated sectioned second wall of the ship. It reduces the power losses by the water viscosity practically to zero.

All those can be proved quite simply by simplified modeling in laboratory.

The frontal power losses W (kW) = S (m2) * H (m) * V (m/s) + 1.3 (kg/m3) * l (m)* B (m) * 0.001 * V^3 / 2 (see Note 2)
S is the ship’s cross-section submerged, and H and l are height and  length of the ship’s nose correspondingly, and V is its velocity.
While for conventional ships it is W = k * S * V^3 / 2

Let a ship of my design be
H = 6 m, B – 10 m, S = 60 m2, l = 10 m, 6500 ton; and V = 360 km/h – 100 m/s

So for the said ship of my design :
W = 6 * 60 * 100 = 36,000 kW (for front water weight lifting) + 1.3 * 10 * 10 * 0.001 * 100^3 / 2 = 65,000 kW (aerodynamics resistance) + ~10,000 kW (for the abovementioned cocoon at trickles velocity being 2.0 m/s)
So W ~= 100,000 kW totally.


If compared with the said destroyer:
(6500 /13,000) * (360/56) = 3.2. my transport instead of the three ones,
and by cost  3 * 60 million) /40 million (military prices ordinary are overstated) =  4.5 times by CAPEX,
while 3 * 112,000 /111,000 = times by OPEX

Note 2.

Power for front water weight lifting in the air is:
W1 = Q * H = ( l * B * H / T ) * H = B * H^2  * V = S * H * V; Q.E.D!
Here: W1 (kW) – power; Q = G / T (m3/s}- water rate; G = H * B * l; H (m) – ship’s draft =
nose height submerged; B (m) – ship’s nose beam submerged; S (m2) = B
* H; l (m)  nose length submerged; V (m/s) – velocity = V (km/h) /3.6; T (sec)= l / V
So
W1 = 0.28 * S * H * V (km/h), hence the power is proportional to a speed !!!.
While for conventional ships it is W = a * S * V^3 / 2

Aerodynamics share of frontal power doesn’t needs a special consideration, as power for cocoon too, taking in mind classical formulas for aerodynamic resistance, and for flow rate through small holes, and gases compression power losses.

Progressive city-car realization and powering-Updated,#1

Progressive city-car realization and powering-Updated, #1 Author: David Judbarovski, principle inventor, retired engineer, Israel judbarovski@gmail.com   Short CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-judbarovski-1390944a/ Archive since 2017 yr: http://judbarovski.blogspot.be Archive since 2006 yr.: http://judbarovski.livejournal.com [3791]-3/11/2017,   My three levels’ conception of progressive transportation was disclosed in http://www.judbarovski.blogspot.co.il/2017/05/progressive-transportation-manifesto.html  (Progressive transportation manifesto, May 02. 2017). Its first level is a city-car.   Special designed city-car is a car moved electrically and equipped by very small battery as a city-grid element, and it isn’t big news now. Such cars are to be much cheaper and simpler than conventional cars and save a lot of energy. But I can suppose strictly to reject all sorts of powering them from underground, because it is energy ineffective and ...

Green and cheap H2, CO, and hydrocarbons. July 14. 2025

Green and cheap H2, CO, and hydrocarbons. Corrected on August 04, 2025. Author: David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired. judbarovski.blogspot.com, judbarovski@gmail.com. Abstract Simplified technology promises USD 161/ton H2, USD 11.5 /ton CO, and hydrocarbons of USD 6 /bbl. They are OPEX, and in order of magnitude cheapеr than prices of fossil fuel and can use now existing infrastructure. (a) CO2 [1] + H2 = CO + H20 - 3 kJ negligible. Here everywhere CO2 is circular and free. A cost of H2O is negligible. If Q served for a cost, Q(CO) * 28 = Q(H) * 2, so Q(CO) = Q(H) / 14. (b) [2] CO + 1.5 H2O = CO2 + 1.5 H2 + 0.25 O2 + 146 kJ. 146 kJ = 146 * 4/ 3.6 [3], [4] = USD 161.0 /Mmol. 1.5 * 2 * Q(H) - 161 = Q(CO) * 28 = 2 Q(H). So Q(H) = USD 161 / ton H2. and CO = Q(H)/14 = USD 11.5 /ton CO. QED ! CO2 + 3 H2 = CH2 (hydrocarbons) + 2 H2O - 240 kJ. 240,000 * 0.3 (efficiency heat in electricity) * 0.03 (tariff) / 3.6 = USD 600 /Mmol So 14 * Q(CH2) = 5 * ...

it can change a game for satellites

. Author: David Judbarovski, systems engineering, principle inventor, retired. judbarovski@gmail.com, judbarovski.blogspot.com. It doesn't need a special start/land pods, but only permitted by ordinary air traffic safety regulation. Abstract. A key element of the possible invention is a VTOl and strategy can lift and land a satellite or/and materials relatively free if the VTOL design of my invention of 40 kW/ton, see Vertical take-off amd Landing Device - 20.07.2020, see judbarovski.blogspot.com/2020/07, posted on July 20, 2020. Satellite is served on low orbits, its PV direct solar illumination can be 10 hr.* 1.4 kW * 365 days a year = 5000 kWh/m2 of the PV receiver. Down to 10 km using ICE, expenses are negligible, then and lower than designed orbit it is CH2 + pressed oxigen for jet mover, and then accelerated. For example, if 100 ton satellite, to reach an orbit 300 km hight it consumes 2 hours and about 1.6 ton kerosene and 4.5 ton 300 atm. pressed oxigen by a tota...
