  1. Restructuring the Ship Repairing Zone of Perama Greece Invest in New Opportunities and High Technology ProjectsNEW TechnologiesUnsinkable Floating Truss Platform UNFLOP&Wind - River - Tidal - WaveTurbine Generators • Themistoklis Andrew Andrikopoulos – Inventor of the NEW Technologies • Physics &Electronic Engineering, Manchester University, 1976 • President – Managing Director of ΑΤΙΟ Group • www.atio-andrikopoulos.blogspot.com Session 3: Advances in Green Shipbuilding MarineTech Summit-2011

  2. Unsinkable Floating Truss PlatformUNFLOPis based on the concept of Truss System-Technology with Articulated Joints (AJOT) that provide extra strength-elasticity to the Truss-Space Frame and make Assembly-Disassembly of individual truss members a very fast easy and safe operation

  3. UNFLOP comprises individually buoyant water-tight truss members which are interconnected with AJOT Members can be tubes, hydrofoils or other shapes to match each application

  4. UNFLOPcan float free in deep waters and keep the same geographic positionusing aGPS Dynamic Positioning System or be moored to the seabed in more shallow waters usingloose or taught lines (TLP)

  5. Mooring can be from multiple points of UNFLOP if necessary

  6. For the tourist industriesUNFLOPprovides options for application in all kinds of possible ...........

  7. ..........or IMPOSSIBLE cases!!!UNFLOPcan create NEWCONDITIONS for the high-end tourist marketworldwide byproviding UNLIMITED application options in MANY near-shore locations and bring prosperity where it seams not possible(and NOT ONLY!!)

  8. Such developments though would need IMMEDIATE SUPPORTfrom allResponsible Authoritiesand SMART INVESTORS.....

  9. ........with first INVESTOR question: «...How much?...What is the ROI??»…..and first INNOVATOR answer: «its not much…........It should be like opening the BAR in any good location on land................»........

  10. Why isUNFLOP Stable in Waves?? Waves can slide-by the hydro dynamically shaped tubes through the open space between them and the up-down buoyancy effects cancel each other out and cannot influence the overall system INERTIA Why isUNFLOP Unsinkable?? A 200x200m UNFLOP would comprise some 10.000 individually buoyanttubes weighing around 7.000 t. and more than 4.000 tubes must loose buoyancy for UNFLOP to be in any danger of sinking!!! ...even if it’s bombed... UNFLOPdoes NOT…FLOP!! With such view UNFLOP can be the most wanted..«Floating Real Estate»

  11. Marine Renewable Energy Sources Integrated Applications PlatformMARESINAP UNFLOPis a most suitable floating structure for supportingWWT-PWT technology of Wind-Tidal-Wave Generators and operating in open ocean conditions

  12. The concept of Wing & Paddle Wheel Turbine utilizes both fluiddynamics force components Drag AND Lift, to convert the kinetic energy of any fluid to rotational-mechanical energy while also minimising any parts of those forces opposing the turbine rotationThis way efficiencies can be much higher and long term overall product costs much lower than those of other known technologiesThis is oneWWTprototype Wind Turbine in Wind Tunnel tests at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) fluid mechanics laboratories

  13. Each Wing-Paddle comprises individual Airfoils-Fins that can turn by a reselectedangle on their ownaxis within fixed-preselected limits, using the fluidflow to reach two terminal positions, one best suitedto absorb energy from Drag forces while minimisingany opposing Lift forces and the other best suited toabsorb energy from Lift forces while minimizing any opposing Drag forces. It’s like wind opening-closingdoors depending on the direction it hits them, orWind-Surfers standing on the frame and turningtheir individual sails in the best positions to harvestmore wind energy as they move up or down-wind

  14. Each Wing-Paddle comprises individual Airfoils-Hydrofoils that can turn by a preselected angle on their ownaxis within preselected limits, using the fluidflow to reach two terminal positions, one best suitedto absorb energy from Drag forces while minimisingany opposing Lift forces and the other best suited toabsorb energy from Lift forces while minimizing any opposing Drag forces

  15. WWT-PWT products are based on modular multi-section design with independent Airfoils-Hydrofoils in each section

  16. Size 100x100m MARESINAP Estimatedpossibilities of Power Generation Up to50unitsWWT-Wind Turbines each 100 kW at 15m/s wind speed – 4 sections 5m high with 5m Rotor Diameterand30 mheight from platform Up to10unitsPWTWaveTurbines each 500kW max – 20 sections 5m long with 5 m Rotor Diameterand100mtotal length Up to50unitsPWTTidal Turbines each 200 kW at 4m/s water speed – 4 sections 5m high with 5 m Rotor Diameteratuseful depth from platform Total power output estimated up to20 MW

  17. Existing technology Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines can also be supported on MARESINAP-UNFLOP

  18. MARESINAP - UNFLOP

  19. Size 200x200m MARESINAP Estimatedpossibilities of Power Generation • Possibility for up to 200 unitsWWTWind Generators each 100 kW with 5 m Rotorand 60 mheight from platform level • Possibility for up to50 units ofPWTWaveGenerators each 100-400kW • The possibilityfor installingPWTTidal Generators cannot yet be estimated Total power output estimate up to 40 MW

  20. UNFLOP AND DO NOT FORGET…. …Even if it’ s bombed…... ...UNFLOP does NOT... FLOP !!

  21. What about this 2002 technology of the 4 leg Deepwater Horizon which was bought for 560 mil USDand was rented byBP for 500 k USD per day

  22. Unfortunately it is SINKABLE..

  23. Deepwater Horizonsunk and destroyed the riser that spilled the oil because it lost 2 of its 4 legs from the fireAll these «column-stabilized semi-submersible» floating rigs,as also Alexander L. Kiellandthat took 123 people down with it March 1980 in the North Sea, have the same problem, they sink as soon as they loose even ONE of their 4-5 legsWould it not be safer to have the10.000 UNFLOP 200x200m legs ??

  24. And one more thing….Overpopulation *We are now 7 billionhumans on Earth.... *By 2050 we will be 10 billion..... *And by 2080 maybe some more........ *HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIT ON LAND ??? *The sea-side real estate will soon be gone.... *Is it possible to have ON-sea real estate? like..
