Popis: The newest technologies in the maritime field have gained a special dynamics over the last years. In particular it has been sought the improvement of the systems, procedures and rules related to environmental protection, but at the same time, lowering the fuel consumption has been targeted through various residual energy recovery methods, with an eye on lowering gas emissions in the atmosphere, in general, and CO2 in particular.This paper is aimed at just this target and it proposes a new controllable pitch propeller changing mechanism to be analysed, that would lead to lowering of energy consumption and by default to a reduction in the fuel consumption used by the diesel-generator.
