Excerpt from A New System for Preventing Collisions at Sea
The cloud produced by the puff Of a locomotive can quench the rays of the noonday sun; it is not therefore surprising that in dense fogs our most powerful coast lights, including even the electric light, should become useless to the mariner.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to a groundbreaking new system designed to prevent collisions at sea by emulating a sixth sense. Inspired by the unique abilities of bats, the author explains how this system, employing powerful vibrations and sensitive receivers, can detect and analyze objects in the vicinity of a ship, regardless of visibility. Exploring the historical context of maritime accidents, the book delves into the dangers posed by ships colliding with each other or with icebergs, emphasizing the inadequacy of existing technologies like searchlights and sirens in fog or darkness. The author argues that this system, by harnessing the principles of sound and echolocation, offers a reliable and effective solution, surpassing the limitations of human senses. The significance of this system lies in its potential to transform maritime safety, offering ships a heightened awareness of their surroundings and enabling them to navigate confidently even in the most challenging conditions. This book presents a compelling case for the adoption of this technology, highlighting its ability to save lives, protect property, and enhance the overall efficiency of maritime operations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
