Diesel-Electric Drive Train 1

Xerqon Military Codicil 1 to the Universal Business Agreement

1. The Xerqon Military Codicil 1 to the Universal Business Agreement permits the Xerqon Diesel-Electric Drive Train 1 technologies to be used for exclusively and lawful defensive military purposes according to The Geneva Conventions where they exclude military aggression whereas the customer or user is a military person whether they are a natural person or if they are a body corporate.

   
   

2. This is the final clause of the Xerqon Military Codicil 1 to the Universal Business Agreement 2026.

The Technology

Common, public domain knowledge governs all following observations. What one drive train does, such as that of a submarine could apply to any drive train.

Nuclear powered submarines (nuclear submarines) often seem to attract the interest of international, naval projection planners. The two main justifications for nuclear submarines are that they delivery a power density and an unbeatable energy density. The second part means that they can navigate for extended months without refuelling or resurfacing, as they also reset the carbon dioxide scrubbers, while continuing to maintain ballast control.

Power Density

1. Nuclear submarines produce a power density of up to 350 MW / m^3 of nuclear core power.

   
   

2. Diesel engines produce 15 200 MW / m^3 (including oxygen) power density.

   
   

3. Aqueous, lithium carbonate batteries (fuel cells) produce about 2.9 MW/m^3 power density. Unlike nuclear fuel rods, the batteries can be continually recharged from the marine, ionic waves above the vessel. With a dense fly wheel, the electric motors can sustain the angular momentum or torque produced by the diesel engine, or engines (where redundancy is considered).

   
   

4. The diesel engines and electric motors can work to produce most power surges via the diesel engines, and all cruising power from the electric motor and fly wheel combination. The power from the battery and marine, wave, ionic field collector would scrub the oxygen supply to the engines and to the crew, simultaneously.

   
   

   To keep the vessel quiet, perforated and fire resistant k-lite would be used to sound proof the engine bay. The engine should rest entirely within a surrounding array of motor car wheel, shock absorbers - a quieter arrangement than fewer truck wheel shock absorbers.

   
   

5. To maintain the quietness of the vessel the propeller of fan should be replaced by a cowled fan, or better stated, a turbofan, for near silent coasting.

Any other systems to be included would be necessarily top secret, for any party embarking on the system describe for military submarine application.

Further Development

One important capability to develop would be very streamlined, low depth, submersible cargo ships or goods ships, to weather heavy storms, while still crusing as advanced hybrid vessels. That saves the cargo and allows delievry time to be little affected. The whale shark's body would be the best model for the advanced performance vessel's shape.

Dimpling the entire surface allows for swifter movement through/over the waters suface in ship or submarine mode. Turbo fans rather than propellors or simple fans will also lend further assistance to propulsion. At low submersion depth, the low water pressure would still allow for swift movement. Sea transport has not looked so safe and sure.
