What are the shapes of sea buoys
There are different types and specifications of ocean buoys. The basic shapes of buoys on the sea include tank, cone, sphere, column, rod, etc.
Many large light buoys with a diameter of 10 to 15 meters are used at the entrance of harbors and on the open sea near the shore. The lights are about 12 meters above the water surface. In addition to installing strong light source lights, the buoys also have radar response signs, radio directional signs, fog warning signals, and marine survey instruments.
The composition and structure of ocean buoys
Generally speaking, the main structure of an ocean buoy consists of a floating body, mast, anchor system, and counterweight. Its functional modules mainly include power supply, communication control, sensors, and other structures.
Many ocean buoys are powered by batteries, but because ocean buoys are far from land, it is not convenient to replace batteries. Many ocean buoys are equipped with solar energy storage equipment, and some even use wave energy to store electricity, greatly reducing the frequency of battery replacement, making ocean buoys more convenient and economical.
The above is an introduction to the shape and structure of ocean buoys, hoping that everyone can gain some insights.
