| Research Abstract |
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.
