- H.A.R.T.H. GRAPH: DRAG REDUCTION - |

|
. Note: When plotting speed vs. drag, the additional 'real world' factor of wave height becomes a serious consideration. While this graph does not reflect factors of wave height, all conventional (prior-art) vessel designs, except the Hydro Lance HARTH technology, will forcibly meet with significantly reduced speeds as the Sea State (wind speed and wave heights), rise with adverse weather conditions. All ships on the ocean today are subject to following the rise and fall of all ocean contours (up, over and down the other side), then tunnel slamming or bow crashing into the next wave of elevated sea states. These conditions lead to serious safety and hull stress issues. Accordingly, these conventional ships, perhaps rated at a 12-40 Knot cruising speeds, must now slow down to perhaps 6 or 8 Knots. You may note that all of today's ships are always and only speed rated in calm waters. Hydro Lance rates the cruising speed for HARTH vessels in and through elevated sea states; very different from the conventional.
