MS Balena There is a wreck of the Norwegian transport ship, which sank on April 12, 2001. The ship was built in 1952, had a length of 41 m and width of 7 m. The shipwreck lies on a rather small depth in very good condition, and its exploring from the inside is very simple and pleasant. An additional attraction of this place is very rich marine flora and fauna. While dive you can find a lot of species of colorful fish, which have found sheltering inside the wreck. This is a perfect place for every level of training, due to small depths. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MS Balena Ein Wrack des norwegischen Transportschiffs, das am 12.

The ACCWing is essentially a twin-skinned sail that can be raised or lowered. It’s fully battened, can be reefed, and can change its section shape using its own internal muscles, operated by compressed air. It achieves this with ‘muscles’ fitted at various positions up the sail on the inside of the wing. The muscles consist of a braided line around flexible hoses, one on each side of the wing. When the hose contracts on one side, it pulls the sail into shape, creating a deeper camber. Having muscles in different positions up along the sail means the section shape can change with height, allowing the twist to be controlled and developing a smooth transition from top to bottom. The rotation of the masts changes the sail’s angle of attack. When it comes to sheet loads, wingsails are often light. This is thanks to the sail’s balancing effect ahead of the mast, much like the equilibrium on a spade rudder. It’s easy to imagine how this system could be totally automated to respond to wind speed and direction, both in section shape and with automated reefing. While you might turn your nose up at letting a computer and servos take over the boat, there will surely be shipping companies that’ll sit up and take note. Since the clipper ships went out of fashion, there’s never been a need for them to put muscles and sails in the same sentence.
