Ongoing Research
Contact & Links


This section is split into two parts:

The first part contains downloads and links to research already carried out.

The second part suggests future research to be carried out.


If anyone feels that they could help with any aspect of the research, please don’t hesitate to contact me.



Part 1 – Past Research

Ship Roll Generator PowerPoint Presentation – Download

Spreadsheet Modelling - Power & Efficiency Calculations - Download

The necessity of a Variable Mechanical Advantage – Link

Increasing the angle of roll by minimising damping - Link

A Paper on CO2 Extraction from the Air – Download

A Paper on Methanol Production from CO2 & H2 - Download



Part 2 – Future Research

Determine the most effective way of preventing the suspended containers from swinging longitudinally. Three suggested ways:
Transverse Girders – Link
Suspended on Wires – Link
Guide Rails – Link

Use real ship data to determine stability and rolling periods for various container combinations

Look into the possibility of suspending the containers under the vessel which would allow the vessel’s roll period to synchronise with very short roll periods - Link

Ascertain the most effective way of controlling the mechanical advantage of the hydraulic system - Link

Research into the possibility of using a salt condensation nuclei centrifuge fresh water generator to produce the water for electrolysis – Download

Determine the most effective way of producing the hydraulic pressure. Two suggested ways:
Hydraulic Rams - Link
Hydraulic Semi-Rotary Pumps - Link

Computer modelling will need to be carried out for different sea conditions – Download

Using old vessels instead of building new tonnage may save money and result in a smaller carbon footprint during construction of the Ship Roll Generators. Determine savings made financially and environmentally.
