Abstract
A watercraft includes at least two floating bodies; a drive device that drives the at least two floating bodies; and a control device that controls at least the drive device, wherein the at least two floating bodies are stacked, the at least two floating bodies are connected by at least one connecting device, at least one damping device is located between the at least two floating bodies, and an intermediate space between the at least two floating bodies is sealed by a sealing device.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A watercraft, comprising:
at least two floating bodies; a drive device that drives the at least two floating bodies; and a control device that controls at least the drive device, wherein: the at least two floating bodies are stacked, the at least two floating bodies are connected by at least one connecting device, at least one damping device is located between the at least two floating bodies, and an intermediate space between the at least two floating bodies is sealed by a sealing device.
2 . The watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein at least one damping device of the at least one damping device acts horizontally.
3 . The watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one damping device is controlled passively and/or actively by an electronic device.
4 . The watercraft according to claim 3 , wherein the intermediate space between the at least two floating bodies is adjustable by an active damping device.
5 . The watercraft according to claim 3 , wherein the electronic device that controls the active damping device has at least one control circuit.
6 . The watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two floating bodies includes an upper floating body and a lower floating body,
a first control circuit controls devices in the upper floating body and a second control circuit controls devices in the lower floating body.
7 . The watercraft according to claim 3 , wherein the
passive damping device is made of a compressible material.
8 . The watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein
the sealing device is designed in a skirt and/or a tubular form.
9 . The watercraft according to claim 1 , wherein a relieving line is located in at least one of the two floating bodies, and the relieving line exchanges air between the intermediate space and an outer environment.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
