A new 16-page four-color brochure on Denny Brown folding fin stabilizers is being offered free by Jered Brown Brothers Inc. of Troy, Mich.
Filled with photos, illustrations, charts, features and benefits of the Brown Brothers complete system of folding fin stabilization, the publication starts with an introduction which states that the purpose of the brochure is to provide a brief glimpse into the fascinating world of ship motion control systems technology.
This is followed by a page on the evolution of ship stabilization, with a listing of milestones in its development. Also included are detailed sections on how the Denny Brown system operates, a guide to fin selection, the hydraulic system that powers it, and the state-of-theart electronics that control it.
Stabilizers reduce ship roll by using fins projecting from the side of the hull. Micro processor controls sense the ship's motion and computer demand signals for the Jiydraulic power units to tilt the fins to the correct angle to generate lift and damp out roll. A guide for computing the most efficient system is provided along with detailed specifications on power and control units.
Brown Brothers operates on a worldwide basis and is a Vickers Marine Engineering Company.
