#resss1 Redefining Cruising by Setting Sails: https://lnkd.in/e_-WKSuc
My father, who was born in 1924 and grew up in Hamburg Blankenese, gave me my first sailing experience in my early youth when he revived his passion for sailing in the 1960s. During the summer holidays, he put our family in an open pirate dinghy to sail the North Sea between the islands of Föhr and Amrum using pre-war nautical charts. Ever since then, I have been familiar with the sailing commands "Get ready to tack" or "Get ready to jibe", and to this day I am eternally grateful to my father Jürgen Grimm for what he taught me about sailing and ships. The following could apply to sailing from now on: Always stay upright, no matter how strong the wind blows and from which direction it comes. How is this possible when the ship is tilted while sailing, which is not desirable for passenger or container ships? The video shows a frontal view of an Oasis-class cruise ship. Clearly visible are the sails, which can be extended from the hull via a telescopic mast, creating a torque at the ship's center of gravity around an axis of rotation parallel to the ship's longitudinal axis, while the hydrodynamic wings, which can be simultaneously extended on the underwater hull, create an opposing torque at the ship's center of gravity with a pair of forces consisting of lift and drag, The hydrodynamic wings, which can be extended at the same time on the underwater hull, generate a counter-torque at the ship's center of gravity with a pair of forces consisting of lift and drag, so that with the hydrodynamic trim system shown here for the first time, the ship maintains the optimal horizontal position from a fluid-dynamic point of view even when sailing. All passengers can be assured that they will not have to learn how to sail for the cruise and, most importantly, that their dishes will not slip off the table while they are eating and drinking.

#resss2 Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails: https://lnkd.in/ecv-pUGe
Stabilisation system for a ship with a sailing device.
The invention relates to a ship with a hull and a sail device comprising a telescopic mast with a telescopic axis, which can be integrated into the ship's support, rescue and energy systems. The ship has hydrodynamic level control for its longitudinal, transverse and vertical axes. The ship has a centre of buoyancy, a centre of gravity and a metacentre, and is designed with an underwater hull shaped according to hydrodynamic principles. The underwater hull connects the forecastle to the stern via a keel and features a lower bulkhead deck formed by a double bottom. The hull has longitudinal and transverse bulkhead walls, together with a plurality of decks, which enclose vertical, spaced-apart air chambers of varying heights that form a honeycomb structure. These chambers extend parallel to the vertical axis, from the lower bulkhead deck to the watertight, sealable main deck (the upper deck), substantially over the entire length of the hull along the longitudinal axis, and are designed to accommodate the sailing gear. The level of the longitudinal, transverse and vertical axes of the ship is regulated by means of hydrodynamically effective outboard wings that can be extended on the starboard and port sides. These wings have a three-part variable profile and are designed for this purpose, together with dynamically displaceable water ballast. The telescopic mast, installed in an air chamber, is always vertically aligned during the ship's sailing operation, enabling the sailing device to be extended beyond the main deck with a height corresponding to that of an air chamber, thus allowing the ship to temporarily operate under sail. According to its respective function, the ship can be designed as a cargo, passenger, war or work ship.

The ship with hydrodynamic levelling The ship, as designed according to the invention, can be adapted to suit a variety of functions, including those as a cargo, passenger, military or work ship. In the operation of these ships, hydrodynamic levelling is achieved through the utilisation of outboard wings, situated on either side of the vessel and positioned in opposition to one another. The wings can be extended or swivelled out and are equipped with a variable, three-part wing profile that is aligned with the underwater hull in a plane parallel to the longitudinal and transverse axes of the ship. This configuration serves to counteract the heeling tendency of the ship when sailing. The leading edge segment and the trailing edge segment of the three-part wing profile can be synchronously adjusted via a hydraulically or electrically operated gearbox integrated into a central wing segment. It is proposed that torque compensation be implemented at the centre of gravity of the ship for the purpose of facilitating sailing operations. A primary torque, resulting from the transverse force generated by the sailing device, is counterbalanced by a secondary torque. This second torque is the result of a hydrodynamic force generated by the outboard wings, which create lift and downforce. The aforementioned wings are arranged in pairs, situated in opposition to one another in the region of the underwater hull. Furthermore, the shifting of the water ballast from one side of the ship to the other, either from the forecastle to the stern or vice versa, allows for the levelling of the plane spanned by the longitudinal and transverse axes. This allows the telescopic axes of the telescopic masts to be aligned parallel to the vertical axis, with the centre of buoyancy, the centre of gravity and the metacentre of the ship on the vertical axis perpendicular to each other.

#resss4 Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails: https://lnkd.in/e_YZ58eH
Ships according to the invention have a freeboard and a watertight main deck, which is either formed by an upper deck at the level of the freeboard or in which the watertight main deck is formed by the uppermost deck extending from the fore ship to the aft ship and has an uppermost bulkhead deck. The vertical air chambers for accommodating the telescopic masts of a sailing vessel are distributed substantially over the entire length and breadth of the hull to form the chamber structure of the hull and have a rectangular, polygonal, round, oval or cross section, with which they extend to the main deck. In the event of an accident, the ship's buoyancy is ensured by the vertical air chambers and the adjacent rescue spaces for the ship's passengers and crew, which are accessible from each deck through airlocks and directly connected to the main deck by internal safety stairs. The longitudinal and transverse bulkheads between the individual spaces on the decks form several fire bulkheads and are connected to the outer walls in the underwater section of the ship.

#resss5 Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84ZBF2MQaU8&list=PLrH7wSzFs4KigRgrDKQRKkzllDFBST4le&index=5
The invention is based on the problem of providing a ship in which the decks can maintain a horizontal position during sailing and the masts can be kept in a vertical orientation. The proposed solution to this problem is a ship in which a sail device, which can be extended from the hull, forms an integral part of the hull construction. This is combined with a dynamic leveling system extending from the underwater hull to prevent the ship from heeling. A hull support system is also proposed. This is based on a sandwich construction that combines weight savings in the steel structure with increased rigidity in the hull. The proposal also requires the implementation of a life-saving system in which the ship itself acts as a life raft for passengers and crew. It is imperative that this system is effective in maintaining the ship's buoyancy at all times. It is obvious that the integration of an energy system for the ship is of paramount importance to ensure an optimal balance between consumed and generated energy during operation.

#resss6 Sailing with a vertical axis wind turbine: https://lnkd.in/eAb-uUDA
The invention is based on providing a ship with an extendable sail arrangement equipped with a dynamic levelling system for the decks that can be used during temporary sailing operations. The solution to this problem involves specifying a hull support system with a sandwich construction, which combines weight savings in the steel construction with increased hull rigidity. It also involves specifying a rescue system in which the ship itself acts as a life raft for passengers and crew, whereby the ship's buoyancy can be maintained indefinitely. Finally, it involves specifying an energy system for the ship, which allows the best possible balance between energy consumed and generated during operation.

#resss7 Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails: https://lnkd.in/eviYdGew
The ship's energy system, as designed by the inventor, is intended to strike a balance between energy consumption and generation during operation. The electric drive for the propellers, located in the stern area and consisting of a number of motor nacelles connected to the underwater hull, can be temporarily replaced by the sailing operation of the ship as the largest energy consumer. The motor generators can switch to generator mode and generate electricity when the ship is in motion. Furthermore, wind turbines can generate electricity when the ship is not in motion and is in port. This electricity can be stored in battery storage units containing a large number of accumulator cells, or used to power electrolysers to produce storable hydrogen for the ship's fuel cell drive. As outlined in the invention, the ship's energy system has the capacity to store energy generated on board. This adaptability enables the system to align with the ship's varying operational requirements. Additionally, independence from fossil energy sources ensures that the ship can operate without emitting harmful CO₂. Considering the environmental impact of cruises for millions of passengers in metropolitan regions around the world, it could be argued that cruising is an environmentally friendly option.

#resss8 Setting sails on a giant container ship: https://lnkd.in/eusQv5cM
The Res Institute is pleased to announce that a German patent will soon be granted for an innovative level control system for ships with sails. A container ship with a length of 350 meters and a width of more than 60 meters can sail with a sail area of approximately 20,000 square meters. This results in an average operating speed of 12 knots. The sail system is responsible for the majority of the ship's propulsion energy. It is part of a dual propulsion system in which electric drives at the stern of the ship are powered by the ship's own energy storage systems. Given that shipping on the seven seas is responsible for about 3 percent of unwanted CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, the maritime sector will have no choice but to seriously implement this innovation. More information available upon request.

#resss9 Automatic setting of sails on a yacht: https://lnkd.in/eYJcJbWz.
The video shows a sailing yacht equipped with two telescopic masts. Both masts are connected to a sail system consisting of four telescopic segments. The three-part variable wing profile consists of a nose segment, a middle wing segment and a trailing edge segment. Four telescopic segments of the variable wing profile of the same length but different sizes can be extended one after the other on the telescopic mast, whereby the largest telescopic segment is connected to the largest hollow profile of the telescopic mast and the next smaller telescopic segments are connected to the next smaller hollow profiles, and the largest hollow profile is connected to the middle wing segment of the variable wing profile via a lower and an upper azimuth bearing to the middle wing segment of the variable wing profile on the telescopic mast and can be locked in different sail positions. Hydrodynamic outboard wings, located on the starboard and port sides, extend from the hull in the area of the underwater hull and generate a torque at the center of gravity of the sailing yacht that counteracts the torque generated by the sail mechanism so that the vertical axis of the ship and the telescopic axes of the sail mechanisms remain as vertical as possible during sailing. By gradually retracting the telescopic segments of the sailing device, the two sails of the sailing yacht are reefed in storms and hurricanes. This makes it possible to pass under bridges and sail in extreme weather conditions.

#resss10 The synergetic integration of ship systems: https://lnkd.in/ep9UNerZ.
The ship's hull has a main deck and longitudinal and transverse bulkheads. These extend from the lower bulkhead deck to the watertight main deck. They contain a large number of vertical air chambers arranged either coaxially or parallel to the longitudinal axis. These air chambers may also be referred to as vertical bulkheads and form a life-saving system for the vessel. They are spaced along the longitudinal axis of the hull and have a chambered structure. Each air chamber is designed to accommodate the telescopic mast of a sailing rig. The stabilization of the ship around its longitudinal axis is achieved by means of hydrodynamically effective outboard wings with a three-part variable wing profile located on the starboard and port sides. These wings are designed to keep the telescopic mast, installed in an air chamber, in a vertical position during sailing. The telescopic mast can be used to extend a variety of sailing gear, allowing the ship to be sailed temporarily.

#resss11 Extending the Telescopic Mast: https://lnkd.in/eKVXRrBX.
The telescopic mast rests on a bulkhead deck at the base and, when retracted, extends parallel to the vertical axis of the ship with a retraction height above the freeboard and, when extended, is connected to the main deck and an upper deck by means of lower and upper catches, so that the telescopic mast can be clamped to the hull with a maximum vertical lever arm between the base and the catches. When extended, the telescopic mast for the various sail devices described below either reaches a height above the top deck corresponding to the clamping height or can be extended to a maximum height above the top deck. In an advantageous embodiment, the telescopic mast has a lower and an upper hydraulic or cable pull system, whereby one of the lower systems is designed to extend lower hoisting profiles in several strokes to an extension height above the freeboard and one of the upper systems is designed to extend upper hoisting profiles one after the other to a maximum height above the top deck. The lowest and the highest hollow profile of the telescopic mast have either the smallest or the largest cross-section, whereby the largest hollow profile in the extended state of the telescopic mast engages at its lower end with guide rollers in rails on the hull side and can be locked with lower and upper catches to the main deck and to an upper deck of the hull. At its upper end, the largest hollow profile has two azimuth bearings arranged at a vertical distance from each other for clamping a sail device to the telescopic mast, so that a sail device described below can be rotated at a rotation angle of up to 360 degrees around the telescopic axis of the telescopic mast and can be locked in different sail positions. The hollow sections can be locked to the hull and to each other in any position by means of the catches. The calibrated hollow sections of the telescopic mast are extended and retracted in several strokes by the upper and lower hydraulic cylinders, whereby the hollow sections of the telescopic mast are raised and lowered one after the other into the desired position and can be locked in different positions by means of lower and upper catches.
