I am formally inviting Naval Architects, CFD Engineers, and Hydrodynamicists to review the S.K.O.O.G. (Skoog Kinetic Orbital Oscillating Generator) framework.
This is a professional, discipline-focused invitation aimed at fostering technical peer review and quantitative discussion regarding a unified system architecture for extracting usable, unidirectional mechanical torque from bidirectional wave-induced orbital motion.
AWEV – Autonomous Wave Energy Vessel (Primary Application):
The AWEV implements this framework through four integrated design principles:
Lift-Optimized Archimedes Screw (LFAS): A proprietary, lift-force based screw design. It utilizes hydrodynamic lift principles to convert bidirectional oscillatory flows into continuous forward thrust, optimized for variable orbital particle motion.
Wave-Permeable Hull Architecture: A hybrid hull featuring internal energy channels designed to allow surface gravity waves to pass through the vessel, driving internal LFAS rows to intercept the energy flux directly while minimizing traditional hull drag.
Submerged Mass Stabilization (~10 m depth): The cargo/payload module is positioned at a 10-meter depth, utilizing the deep mass as an active ballast to decouple the system from surface wave excitation (H_s and T_p).
Dynamic Energy & Shock Management (DALAS + PHST): Integrated systems for converting impulse loads (wave slam and propeller-torque dynamics) into automated charging (DALAS) and ensuring precise generator alignment through passive hydrostatic stabilization (PHST).
Technical Documentation & Peer Review:
The objective of this review is to evaluate the system logic and the scaling of the energy-flux capture. This includes the integration of the IAKKS active ceramic composite coating, which is being developed to address the extreme maintenance requirements of autonomous long-duration deployments by targeting significantly extended service intervals.
