Basic study on Wave Devouring Propulsor

新研制的小型吞浪推进器系统模型在实际海中进行了自推进试验，取得了成功。她的系统包括简单的导航系统，GPS和磁罗盘，以及测量船体运动和作用在WDPS上的力的数据记录器系统。它们是基于单芯片微型计算机的重量轻、体积小、能耗低的设备。所需的导航功率相当小，可能足以实现甲板上的小面积太阳能销售输出。她的航行性能对海洋研究平台很有用，因为她的长续航性能靠波浪发电而无需任何其他能源供应。

Small sized Wave Devouring Propulsor system model is newly developed and tested the self-propulsion test in the actual sea and success. Her system consists of the simple navigation system, GPS and magnetic compass, and data logger system to measure hull motion and forces acting on the WDPS. They are light weight and small sized low energy consumption devices based on a one chip micro-computer. Needed navigation power is quite small and may enough to achieve the small area solar sell output on the deck. Her sailing performance is useful for the ocean research platform, because her long endurance performance by the wave power without any another energy supply.
