Ship's rolling under rough
sea is reduced by moving mass in either direction to the port/starboard
sides on board. When the mass moves on an arc shaped rail,
due to gravity, a "pendulum" movement against ship's
rolling occurs. As the ship's rolling is detected by sensors,
the mass reacting to movement against rolling is rolled by
computer controlled electric motors. To combine both the power
of "pendulum" and "electric motor", which
called "Hybrid method", an enormous effect of anti-rolling
power is expected with small energy use.
It's effectiveness is proved in various navigation conditions
from zero-speed to full-speed, therefore, this system is the
most suitable anti-rolling system for observation and research
ships which encounters various navigation conditions.
