Скачать или смотреть A Body at Rest Tends to Stay at Rest

The early world of docking was based on a principle of physics, a body in motion tends to stay in motion. That's what the whole industry has been. SlideMoor went to the other end of it applying the notion that a body at rest tends to stay at rest.



"By holding it tight it's very very easy and much less stressful on everything the piling, the lines everything to hold something that wants to stay there. People worry about the size of the boat. Doesn't matter. Or the shape we have to concern ourselves with but they say how heavy of boats. We have 160,000 pound boats on these and people don't get it because they're used to the movement. The movement that lets everything move and then tries to stop it. That's where all the engineering has always come in and there's always a failure point. This is very easy. This is static weight. We're just holding it in place, and it doesn't want to move it can't move. That's why there much less on virtually everything. And when people see the boats moving, that movement is what they normally picture when they're looking at this. Take a look at anything thats held tight and it doesn't want to wind up and punch. This is how we've eliminated it."
