A lighter-than-air device comprises a buoyant element containing lighter-than-air gas, and a flexible surface having a length and height forming a usable area. The flexible surface has a bottom edge that is not connected to the buoyant element. The length of the flexible surface is connected directly to the buoyant element. The flexible surface is operable to use an area defined by the buoyant element and the bottom edge of the flexible surface to, among other things, condense water, move a vessel, and block material from entering an area.

International Classification:
B63B 138
US Classification:
114 67A
Abstract:
A device for reducing the roughness of ride of a Surface Effect Ship and producing power for use in the craft's auxiliaries. Cushion air is vented through a duct which has a generator in it; the power-absorbing capability of the generator is variable. Varying the amount of power absorbed by the generator varies the amount of air that is vented through the duct, thereby controlling the pressure in the air cushion.
