There are several ways to generate energy from waves. Most of these devices float on the surface of the water at sea, lakes, or rivers, and energy is generated by moving up and down. Inside most of th...
Metal shipping containers are used to transport most consumer goods that are shipped by ship or on rail. Their use brought a very large reduction in transport costs and increased the speed of transpor...
With wind turbines installed in the deep sea, the problem is strong winds and big waves. Large waves can tilt the floating base, and the entire wind turbine tilts with it, which is bad for their safet...
All over the world there are melioration canals that drain excess water from agricultural areas during periods of increased rainfall, or that serve to irrigate agricultural areas during the dry part o...
Pontoon bridges usually consist of floating parts over which small bridges are placed. They usually serve as temporary bridges, and are most often used in war. Such floating bridges must be portable a...

Most of the inventions, innovations and technical ideas that I have published on this page, and some that I have not yet, I decided to put together into one whole and publish as an e-book. I divided s...
There are ships that can sail on icy water surfaces. They are called icebreakers. Some of them hit the ice with their front end, thus breaking it, which allows them to continue sailing. When the ice i...
There are several ways to purify salt water or dirty water. Distillation processes are most commonly used, as well as osmosis processes in which water passes through semipermeable membranes. Distillat...
Ships are built in shipyards, most often on dry docks that are slightly sloping towards the water surface. On such docks, there are rails on which the ship is built, and after the completion of constr...
Maritime transport is the cheapest transport, and immediately behind it is rail transport. In order to speed up and reduce the cost of transport with these two modes of transport, container traffic ha...
At the bottom of the sea, various works are often performed by divers. Some such works can be done much more easily when a dome is placed at the bottom of the sea under which air is blown. Then worker...
The vast majority of ships will sink if they are overturned by the waves, or if an opening is formed in the hull of the ship through which water suddenly enters. Some sailboats have ballast that retur...
Drones are most commonly known as unmanned aerial vehicles. They appeared about fifty years ago as toys, and about thirty years ago they began to be used for air reconnaissance. In the last ten years,...
Many places around the world are planning to build floating tunnels. These are tunnels placed in water at a certain depth below the surface, or at the bottom of the sea. Typically, such tunnels are in...
Boats are intended for navigation, but sometimes they must go out to dry. Smaller vessels are brought out to dry when they are repaired, while larger vessels are brought to the docks for water extract...
Seafarers have long since begun to use lifejackets to given to crew in the event of a ship crash. Initially, these were rubber belts, and later, with the development of plastics, they would become muc...
Bumpers, or fenders are the ship's equipment that protects the sides shackles of the boat from strokes in the docks while staying in the harbors. Fenders are usually made of solid rubber and are fille...
