Apparatus For Changing The Attack Angle Of A Cavitator On A Supercavatating Underwater Research Model

View page
US Patent:
7428870, Sep 30, 2008
Filed:
Jul 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/183146
Inventors:
William H. Nedderman - Middletown RI, US
Assignee:
The United States America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
F42B 15/20
US Classification:
102399, 114 201, 114 211, 244 322
Abstract:
An apparatus for changing the angle of attack of a cavitator on a supercavitating underwater research model. The apparatus has a nose assembly that has a pivotable cavitator tilt plate, an actuator member and a drive system engaged with the actuator member to drive the actuator member so as to tilt the cavitator tilt plate to a desired angle. Power components are remotely located and accessible to an operator so as to enable an operator to vary the angle of the cavitator tilt plate while the supercavitating underwater research model is underwater and in motion.

Side Plate Rudder System

View page
US Patent:
20020073905, Jun 20, 2002
Filed:
Dec 14, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/740756
Inventors:
William Nedderman - Middletown RI, US
James Dick - North Kingstown RI, US
Charles Beauchamp - Jamestown RI, US
International Classification:
B63H025/10
US Classification:
114/162000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved steering system for a water craft and an improved method of steering. The steering system includes at least two variable camber plates or rudders mounted to a hull of the water craft for imparting a steering force to the water craft. Each of the variable camber plates is preferably formed from a flexible material and has a leading edge affixed to the hull. A linkage mechanism is attached to a steering device on the water craft and causes at least one of the plates to move relative to the hull and thereby vary the camber of the at least one plate.

Controllable Camber Windmill Blades

US Patent:
20020153729, Oct 24, 2002
Filed:
Apr 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/837746
Inventors:
Charles Beauchamp - Jamestown RI, US
William Nedderman - Middletown RI, US
International Classification:
F03D009/00
H02P009/04
US Classification:
290/055000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a windmill power generation system which includes at least two variable camber blades fastened to a rotatable hub, which blades are driven by a fluid such as wind. Each of the variable camber blades has embedded shape memory alloy members. The system also includes a source of electrical power connected to the shape memory alloy members for varying the shape of the blades in response to changes in the speed of the fluid driving the blades. The power generating system further includes a power regulator connected to the electrical power source for regulating the electrical power being supplied to the shape memory alloy members and a controller for transmitting a power command signal to the power regulator. The controller preferably comprises a preprogrammed computer having an algorithm for generating the optimum blade shape for a particular wind speed or condition.

Control Surface For Underwater Vehicle

View page
US Patent:
54873517, Jan 30, 1996
Filed:
Jan 13, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/372080
Inventors:
William H. Nedderman - Middletown RI
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
B63G 818
US Classification:
114332
Abstract:
A control surface for a vehicle comprising a flexible elastomeric body with ts base joined to the vehicle to form a smooth surface, a rigid tip bar joined to the distal end of the body, and a control member for turning the rigid tip bar to bend the elastomeric body and generate lift. The control member can be a shaft which extends from the interior of the vehicle to said rigid tip bar to allow said shaft to rotate said tip bar.

Underwater Vehicle And A Fin Assembly Therefor

View page
US Patent:
56156324, Apr 1, 1997
Filed:
Feb 7, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/605313
Inventors:
William H. Nedderman - Middletown RI
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
B63G 800
US Classification:
114330
Abstract:
A fin assembly for an underwater vehicle, the assembly comprising a portion f the hull of the vehicle having a recess therein, and a sleeve proximate a forward end of the recess and inclined inwardly from the hull portion at an angle to the hull portion and inclined transversely of the fore-and-aft axis of the vehicle at an angle to the hull portion. The assembly further comprises a fin having a mounting post at a base end thereof, the post being at an angle to the lengthwise axis of the fin, and at an angle to a fore-and-aft axis of the fin. The post is disposed in the sleeve and turnable therein to move the fin from a first position in the hull recess wherein the fin is disposed generally axially of the vehicle and conformed to the hull portion, to a second position in which the fin extends outwardly from the hull in a position radial to the vehicle axis and inclined rearwardly at an angle from a line extending radially of the vehicle axis.

Highly Maneuverable Underwater Vehicle

View page
US Patent:
57082324, Jan 13, 1998
Filed:
Oct 10, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/730919
Inventors:
William H. Nedderman - Middletown RI
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
F42B 1000
US Classification:
114 23
Abstract:
A system of articulation units is inserted between sections of a standard lindrical underwater vehicle, such as a torpedo, to provide a highly maneuverable vehicle. Each articulation unit consists of two bulkheads connected by a spherical joint which allows rotation about the joint. The bulkheads are connected to adjacent torpedo sections by means of standard joint bands. A number of hydraulic actuators are spaced radially about the spherical joint between the bulkheads. By selectively activating the actuators, the joint bends the vehicle about its longitudinal axis. The pressure of the surrounding medium against the moving vehicle causes the vehicle to turn in the direction of the bend. Depending on the actuators activated, the vehicle can be made to bend, or turn, in any direction, making for a highly maneuverable vehicle. The articulation units have flexible cover membranes over the space between the bulkheads so as to present a smooth surface to the surrounding medium and hence not appreciably increase the drag on the torpedo.

Piston And Cylinder Actuated Polymer Mixing Valve

View page
US Patent:
59244534, Jul 20, 1999
Filed:
Apr 20, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/062565
Inventors:
William H. Nedderman - Middletown RI
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G05D 1103
US Classification:
137893
Abstract:
A valve for introducing polymer into a moving water stream prior to flowing he water stream, with the polymer therein, onto a hull surface of an underwater vehicle. The valve comprises a venturi block having therethrough a venturi passageway for flowing water therethrough, a polymer inlet tube extending through the venturi block and into the venturi passageway for introducing the polymer into the water flowing through the venturi passageway. A shut-off plunger extends through a bore in the venturi block and is axially aligned with the polymer inlet tube, the plunger being reciprocally movable in the bore between a first position in which a head portion of the plunger extends into and seals closed the polymer inlet tube, and a second position in which the head portion of the plunger is spaced from sealing engagement with said polymer inlet tube. A piston and cylinder assembly moves the plunger between the first and second positions.

Articulated Fin

US Patent:
58397000, Nov 24, 1998
Filed:
Jun 3, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/668605
Inventors:
William H. Nedderman - Middletown RI
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
B64C 348
US Classification:
244219
Abstract:
An articulated fin of the present invention includes a nose section, a tail ection, an upper flexible control surface, and a lower flexible control surface. The upper and lower flexible control surfaces each span from the tail section to the nose section. The fin further includes a gear assembly for applying compressive and tensile forces on the upper and lower flexible control surfaces. The gear assembly bends the tail section upwardly upon applying a tensile force on the upper flexible control surface and a compression force on the lower flexible control surface, and bends the tail section downwardly upon applying a compression force on the upper flexible control surface and a tensile force on the lower flexible control surface.
