<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a marine vessel having a wind driven electrical power generator which is utilized as a power source for the vessel internal illumination or the like, suppresses the fuel consumption of the vessel, and at the same time, can be utilized as an energy saving means which reduces the generation of CO<SB>2</SB>in such a manner that a wind pressure resistance being received by the upper structure of the vessel during a navigation is reduced, at the same time, a wind power generation is performed, and a power accumulation is simultaneously performed for batteries. <P>SOLUTION: A front section opening 3 is provided at the central section on the front surface of the upper structure 2 of the marine vessel 1. At the same time, a duct 5 for a wind path having a rear end opening 4 is formed in a manner to go along the ship hull central line and penetrate the upper structure 2 just like passing through to the rear side. In the duct 5, a windmill 6 for the wind power generation is provided, and also, a generator 7 which is operated by the windmill 6 is provided, and the generated power is stored in a battery which is not shown in the figure. Thus, a part of the ship internal power consumption can be covered. In addition, the wind pressure resistance of the relative wind which is received by the front surface of the upper structure 2 during the navigation is drastically reduced. Therefore, the reduction of the wind pressure resistance can contribute to the saving of the fuel consumption amount of the main engine of the marine vessel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
