摘要 |
A system and a method for prevention of adhesion of marine organisms to a substrate contacted with seawater are provided. The system comprises a generator (120, 220) for producing an electrical signal (150) operating in desirable frequencies in which the marine organisms can be chased or killed, said generator (120, 220) having at least two output connectors (122, 124, 222, 224), means for oscillating and propagating the electrical signal (150) along a surface of the substrate, said means being adapted to make electrical connection with the at least two output connectors (122, 124, 222, 224) of the generator (120, 220) and being submerged in seawater, and an electric power source (110, 210) connected to the generator (122, 124, 222, 224) for applying a selected voltage to the generator (122, 124, 222, 224) to produce the electrical signal (150). |

1. A system for prevention of adhesion of marine organisms to a substrate contacting with seawater, comprising:
a generator for producing an electrical signal operating with frequencies which are able to chase or kill the marine organisms, said generator having at least two output connectors; device for oscillating and propagating the electrical signal along a surface of the substrate, said device being adapted to make electrical connection with the at least two output connectors of the generator and being submerged in water; and an electric power source connected to the generator for applying a selected voltage to the generator to produce the electrical signal, wherein the device for oscillating and propagating the electrical signal comprises at least two spaced electrode antennas between which the electrical signal oscillates and propagates, each of the electrode antennas being adapted to make electrical connection with the respective output connectors of the generator. |
