Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014007644A1] Method for air-driven propulsion of vessel and air-driven vessel. The method is characterized by that propulsion is provided by that air under high pressure is ejected under the sea surface, and that air rising again from the sea is captured for providing an air cushion between the hull and the vessel. It is further described a solution for re-use of the air captured for further propulsion. The invention also describes a solution for reducing the friction between the hull and the vessel by utilizing captured air for providing an air cushion between the hull and the sea.
