- The vessels from the Oceanbird concept have taken several forms since its creation but are now getting closer to the final design. The recently finished tender design shows a ship equipped with six wing sails that runs in parallel across the deck.

This looks great! do you have any expected performance numbers per sail yet? I do miss the first concept though. It was very elegant, but would have been very hard to build with the telescoping sails.
Thank you =) The performance depends on ship type, route and speed. We made an example for an existing car-carrying vessel with one wing sail at normal speed that is in port 30% of its time and otherwise travels an oceangoing route. That vessel will save 7-10 % of fuel, equal to 600 tons/675,000 liters of diesel per year and 1920 tons of CO2. You can read more here: www.theoceanbird.com/oceanbird-wing-560/
Multiple wing sails could actually mean a bigger savings due to aerodynamics, so 1+1 could be 3.
Yes, we also like the telescopic design but they were very complicated to produce and heavy, and the last segment still needed to be folded down on deck. They would also be impossible to install on an existing ship.
Won't the sails get in the way when loading the container?
Exactly ..... clearly just a little acid fantasy video
Why doesn't Oceanbird have any wind turbines or solar panels?
Very good question! Wallenius Marine, that designs the vessels from Oceanbird concept, evaluated all renewable technology before choosing a stiff wing that resemble an airplane wing.
Wind turbines produces electricity which could be used in an electric engine, but electrical engines is not possible for big cargo vessels on the oceangoing routes because the battery will be too big. A stiff wing sail uses all power in the wind to push the ship forward, like a sailing boat.
Wallenius have tried solar panels onboard the ship Undine, but the salt water made it difficult and the power produced will only cover less than one percent of the energy consumption. But that might change with new technology, so we follow the progress there as well.
Please stop asking questions they dont know the answer to..
what makes ocean bird different from any other sailing ship?
duhh
more automation?
Reminds me of good old 3500BC
Do you have scaled down prototype to show off?
We have a 7-meter model built by KTH to test how the wing sails affect each other, you can see it sail here: www.theoceanbird.com/blog/the-oceanbird-model-sails-using-wind-power/
We are also building a full-scale land based prototype in south of Sweden, which will be ready this fall. That will be a test site for automation team, training site for the crew and chance for us to optimize assembly of the wing.

7-meter model
HAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Please, please stop. I'm dying here from laughing.
This is all so stupid but I'm totally sure, some retarded investors will give you a bunch of millions and then after years of hard work, absolutely nothing will come out from it.
7-meters and nothing other than CGI bullshit.
Bro I'm dead HAHAHHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHHAHA
@@oceanbird4970 Oh, seems you are deleting my comments.
So here I go again.
"7-meter model" HAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAAA
Stop bro, I need to breath. I cannot get more info about that complete bullshit idea. I'm dying here from laughing.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, will ever come out from that bullshit.
Yes but only for people wearing their undies only...It is a you show - we show deal
it looks like that rescure boat from movie 2012
who would have thought of propelling a ship with the wind?... oh thats right... D'oh!
Yeah, it is not exactly new (except for the transport of 7,000 vehicles) 😁
That is how Captain Cook ship was powered/// It had big sails...
I'm trying to grasp the wing design.... having the wings curved will Decrease the amount of energy pushed upon it by wind. it's too aerodynamic, which in wind propulsion is a Bad thing it won't catch the wind that's so easily flowing around its curved wing. am I wrong? I don't understand why it's not flat or concave to catch the wind more efficiently.
The idea of "catching" wind is generally only used in downwind sailing. Modern sails operate as a plane wing does to generate lift which is translated into forward propulsion. Think of this design as vertical plane wings with flaps extended. The "sails" will be adjusted to maintain the proper angle of attack based on the prevailing wind direction. This will give them usefulness in a larger variety of wind conditions.
@@owenspalding971 I'm certain this design isn't optimal.
@@spokiee2000 im sure its not. but i suppose its the best for automation. less people less salaries
Seriously? That hull has vastly more square footage than those 'sails' so this is nothing more than a non-sailor's idea of what a futuristic ' sailing ship would look like. There's at least 5-6 stories of freeboard lol so in order for those sails to have any effect at all upwind, that contraption would have to draw 100' IE it cannot ever enter any port. This is what a non-sailor billionaire would sketch on a cocktail napkin thinking it's cutting-edge. Reminds me of a certain completely idiotic 'futuristic' stainless steel pickup that everyone laughs at these days. At least the cybertruck can actually drive down the road.
How can anyone intelligent enough to work that animation software fail to understand that the wind doesn’t just effect the sails....it also effects the vessel itself. That slab-sided monster isn’t going anywhere but directly downwind.
It's dumb stupid bullshit. It's ridiculous. Not a single person involved in this bullshit has an IQ over 100.
I fully agree to these comments.
The sails can at best give some extra thrusts on a specific coarse as long as the ships doesn't sail too fast
this "ship" is complete and utter BullSheet. the folks are completely clueless. Q: what environment does this ship run best? A: power point
And that is why they call it.. cocktale napkino
The first cargo vessels were sailed. So nothing new. Show me something real not just animated.
The first parts to our wing sail have arrived in our assembly and test site in Landskrona, you can see them here: th-cam.com/video/IJgTYd5at2Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PaA3m19kvPuO4mOP
When we have the wing onboard a vessel in less than a year, I can assure you that we will show that as well =) The special built, fully sailing vessel showed in the animation is a few years away though.
Too big. Takes away from the whole sailing experience.
Are we expecting a flood soon due to man made fire raining from the sky??? This looks like the modern day Noah. Only this time it will reflect that one movie where only the rich will have a ticket….
