ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the generation of compressed gas for bubbling from a ship's hulls in ice-laden water in order to reduce the drag on the ship's movement produced by the ice, and also to help break up the ice. The compressed gas is generated by apparatus having an air compressor, a device for mixing fuel with the compressed air, a device for igniting the fuel/air mixture so that hot gas is generated under pressure, and at least one pipe which is provided for receiving the hot compressed gas and for supplying the gas to holes located in the hull of the ship below the waterline. The pressure of the gas is greater than the water pressure at the holes so that bubbling of the gas from the holes takes place.
