  2. Wakeboard boat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakeboard_boat

    Ballast is a simple term for weight. When wakeboard boats have ballast tanks, it means that they have room for extra weight to weigh the boat down for larger wakes. For example. If the rider is surfing on the starboard side of the stern. Then you want to activate the starboard ballast in order to give the rider a surf-able wave.

  3. Ballast tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballast_tank

    Cross section of a vessel with a single ballast tank at the bottom. A ballast tank is a compartment within a boat, ship or other floating structure that holds water, which is used as ballast to provide hydrostatic stability for a vessel, to reduce or control buoyancy, as in a submarine, to correct trim or list, to provide a more even load distribution along the hull to reduce structural ...

  4. Variable-buoyancy pressure vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-buoyancy_pressure...

    A variable-buoyancy pressure vessel system is a type of rigid buoyancy control device for diving systems that retains a constant volume and varies its density by changing the weight (mass) of the contents, either by moving the ambient fluid into and out of a rigid pressure vessel, or by moving a stored liquid between internal and external variable-volume containers.

  5. Spar (platform) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spar_(platform)

    A truss spar comprises three parts, a short-height, large-diameter cylindrical hull, atop a truss structure, atop tanks for heavy ballast. A cell spar consists of a cluster of small-diameter cylinders and relatively speaking, cheap to manufacture. Cylinders are either buoyancy only, or subdivided into buoyancy and ballast.

  6. Vent (submarine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vent_(submarine)

    The vents of the Redoutable are under the casing. The square openings in the casing are limber holes to facilitate draining the superstructure. In submarine technology a vent is a valve fitted to the top of a submarine's ballast tanks to let air escape from the top of the ballast tank and be replaced by water entering through the opening(s) called "flood ports" or "floods" at the bottom of the ...

  7. Regrowth inside ballast tanks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regrowth_inside_ballast_tanks

    This water, called ballast water, which contains aquatic organisms typical of the port of arrival, is stored in ballast tanks and is ultimately discharged at the port of departure when the ship is ready to be re-loaded. During this process, aquatic organisms capable of surviving in ballast water are released into new environments and can ...

  8. Kingston valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_valve

    On vintage submarines, Kingston valves are fitted at the bottom of certain ballast tanks, such as safety, negative, and bow buoyancy tanks. The submarine's ballast tank valves are used to admit water when the submarine dives. The valves allow water to enter the ballast tanks, while the enclosed air escapes through the open main vents at the top ...

  9. Architecture of the oil tanker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_the_oil_tanker

    The lower tanks are connected to these ballast tanks by non-return valves. The United States Coast Guard does not allow this design to enter US waters, effectively preventing it from being built. [citation needed] When a lower tank is damaged, the incoming sea water pushes the oil in the damaged tank up into the ballast tank.
