| DESIGN NAME: Wandering Ark PRIMARY FUNCTION: Hydrogen Powered Trimaran INSPIRATION: In response to sea level rise in the future, not only will the land area shrink, but the frequency of marine disasters will also increase. For sea survival mode and floating cities, further exploration and thinking are needed. To solve these problems, it is envisioned to build a mobile city that can be self-sufficient at sea using clean energy and avoid marine disasters. Today, a single new energy source cannot provide a sustainable supply for ships. Future ship energy harvesting technology needs to be studied and ship functions innovated through integrated design. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Wandering Ark is designed as a large trimaran, with extremely strong stability to cope with different sea conditions and a large area of superstructure living space. It integrates multiple energy collection methods, such as solar energy, wind energy, wave energy, seawater hydrogen production system, and Ensure energy supply. Wandering Ark is a powerful habitat that lives in harmony with the marine environment. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Wandering Ark can survive on the ocean for a long time and make full use of resources. Solar, wind and ocean power generation. Seawater is directly obtained through the hydrogen production system, and the generated hydrogen is stored and converted into a fuel cell to power the system. Although the Flettner rotor cannot generate electricity, it can directly assist the propulsion system to save energy consumption. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project will be completed at Macau University of Science and Technology from June 2023 to February 2024 |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Modeling Extraction: Terraces are a symbol of the symbiosis between man and nature. Combining terrace elements with ship design expresses the concept of respecting nature. This is reflected in the ship’s zero emissions and self-sufficiency. The hierarchy of terraces visually enhances stability, combining traditional aesthetics with modern ship design. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Length: 580M×Width: 280M×Height: 140M TAGS: Concept design, Sea survival, Trimaran, New energy, Zero emissions RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Use STAR CCM+ simulation software to conduct seakeeping and pressure tests on the trimaran and calculate the best solution under different circumstances to improve the final design. CHALLENGE: Stability and energy saving factors need to be considered in the design. The hull adopts an innovative shape design that combines X BOW with a trimaran. It has strong wave penetration capability, which is also crucial for reducing energy loss. ADDED DATE: 2024-02-23 18:24:50 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : Shenghan Lu IMAGE CREDITS: Shenghan Lu, 2024 |
