Provided is an apparatus for recovering and launching an unmanned aerial vehicle. The apparatus for recovering and launching the unmanned aerial vehicle includes a main body that includes a storage space in which the unmanned aerial vehicle is stored, an inclined platform that forms an inclined surface which is connected between a fixed bar fixed in the main body and a moving bar moved to an opened upper portion of the main body and collides with the unmanned aerial vehicle induced to approach a side of the main body, a band member of which one end is connected to the moving bar and the other end is rolled up in a roll shape and stored in the storage space of the main body, and a driving motor that rotationally drives a rotor circumscribed with the band member in a normal direction or reverse direction, so that the moving bar is moved with respect to the fixed bar, wherein the inclined surface is formed by unfolding the inclined platform, the unmanned aerial vehicle colliding with the inclined surface is recovered to the storage space, and then the inclined platform is folded.

Apparatus and method for recovering and launching unmanned aerial vehicle

A position-controlled wave power generating apparatus. A position-controlled wave power generating apparatus is included a floating part floatable on a body of water, a motion conversion unit coupled to a floating part, a power generating unit generating electricity using a generator connected to a motion conversion unit, and a position control unit positioned below a water surface to generate a thrust from the energy of waves.

Position-controlled wave power generating apparatus

A wave power generating apparatus is provided. A generator including a housing and a drive shaft coupled to the housing is coupled to a floating part that is floatable on a sea. The drive shaft is positioned on an extension of the center of rotation extending from the housing. A first rotary unit is coupled to the generator housing, is rotatable in a first direction together with the housing about the extension of the center of rotation, and includes a first blade able to pivot about a first pivot axis perpendicular to the extension of the center of rotation. A second rotary unit is coupled to the drive shaft of the generator, is rotatable in a second direction opposite to a direction in which the first rotary unit rotates, and includes a second blade able to pivot about a second pivot axis perpendicular to the extension of the center of rotation.

Wave power generating apparatus

Disclosed herein are an underwater docking system and a docking method using the system. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention relates to a system for docking a target body on a docking station under water, the system comprising: a guide unit provided to the docking station to transmit at least one guide signal to the target body; an agent unit connected to the docking station by a smart cable and disposed at a position spaced apart from the docking station so that the agent unit is moored under the water in a direction corresponding to a tidal current; and the target body configured to be guided toward the agent unit by the guide signal and then connected to a portion of the agent unit.
