A mast for use on a submarine is disclosed. The shape of the mast includes a sharp leading edge. The leading edge widens to an angle greater than the maximum angle of angle of attack that the mast will experience during maneuvering. The shape produces a stagnation zone that minimizes flow separations at the bow wave and has a pressure coefficient that approaches zero such that wake signatures of the mast are reduced. The surface of the mast is roughened to be capable of producing a turbulent boundary layer of the mast further reducing wake signatures from the bow wake. |

Bearing apparatus for submarine mast fairing or other cylindroid member, turing at least one stave bearing which is made an integral part of the fairing or other cylindroid member and which is tangentially and supportively engaged by a complementary structural bearing which is coupled with the submarine sail or other supporting structure. Utilization of the stave bearing surface rather than the cylindroid member surface in the bearing engagement permits utilization of superior materials for the mating elements and consequent improvement in wear, noise and maintenance characteristics of the bearing assembly. For some embodiments an adjustable housing for the complementary bearing allows for wear of the stave bearing and complementary bearing by providing adjustability of the clearance distance at the interface between these two mating elements. Additional structural support can be provided by one or more bushings, molds and/or other reinforcement members. At the same time, this invention offers requisite camouflage capabilities in terms of coloration for many submarine applications. |

The present invention provides a submersible data center vessel that is towed to its operating site, moored to anchors on the ocean floor and connected to an appropriate power generating system. The vessel is then submerged to its recommended operating depth while preferably still allowing air exchange and service crew access to the vessel interior. In the event of extreme weather/sea conditions, the vessel can be submerged deeper for the duration of the extreme conditions and out of range of harmful wind and wave forces. The subsurface vessel is preferably powered by a renewable energy source such as, but not limited to marine hydrokinetic energy provided by wave, tidal, or marine current electric generators and/or offshore wind turbines. Alternatively, an onshore electric power grid supplies a portion or all of the electric power by submarine cable to the vessel. The computer servers housed within the vessel are cooled by heat exchangers drawing from cool ocean water, and continue to operate irrespective of weather and sea conditions on the surface. |

The raised platform includes a plurality of sensors and computers that detect at least one of: water quality, water pressure, or objects in the vicinity of the cage. The raised platform includes a navigating system that controls a direction of travel of the cage based on feedback provided by the plurality of sensors and computers, and a power generator that provides power to the sensors, the navigating system, and the feeding mechanism. The autonomous submersible structure includes a ballast for counterbalancing the weight of the raised platform, wherein the navigating system controls the two or more independently operated propellers to alter the direction of travel of the cage, and wherein the raised platform is environmentally sealed and a portion of the raised platform is positioned above water level. |

A vortex generator includes a multiple of vorticity generating protuberances that produce small-scale vortices that are entrained within a primary tip vortex. The small-scale vortices causes the primary tip vortex to diffuse and dissipate at a rate greater than what normally occurs, thereby reducing the intensity of the primary tip vortex. |
