that is exactly how you test the windlass, they then put it gear and are testing engine.Normally you would let it free wheel till you have the depth required which is done by counting the number of shackles that are sighted as the cable goes out. Note every now and then there is a red link with white paint either side, thats the shackle.... as the cable goes out each side of the red shackle has white painted chain links, 1 shackle is one white link painted either side of the shackle, the next is two links painted white either side of the shackle and so on like that.

When I was a kid I remember being told that each link of the Queen Mary's anchor chain weighed one hundred-weight. That being so, then twenty links to the ton. I don't know if anchor chain metallurgy has changed much since the 30s, but I suspect that modern chains are are similar as the chain itself lying along the seabed is what usually does most of the "holding".

I’m surprised that they don’t have what is on the main drum of large drilling rigs and some very large trucks. A hydro retarder. Basically a torque converter in reverse. One turbine on the drum shaft trying to turn another turbine that is mounted stationary. The amount of restriction is controlled by the angle of the turbine blades and the clearance between the turbines. Some use oil and require heat exchangers and some use water and as they warm circulatory valves open allowing hot water out and cool water in as needed.

What if the water is too deep, the anchor will not reach the sea bed. What happens then ??
@MrPLC9993 жыл бұрын
First of all, you cannot anchor in deep water. The crew already knows how deep the water is and how much chain they have. A large ship typically needs at least 5 times as much chain as the depth of the water in order to properly set the anchor. If they don't have it, they won't even try.
@strobe45652 жыл бұрын
If sea bed is too deep, there is no need to anchor. Its not like the ship will ground or something. Ships are usually anchored in shallow waters where there is a chance of the ship being dragged by the wind towards ground. In deep sea if ships have to stop for some engine repair job they drift freely.

Brother they are testing the anchor of a ship; whether the ship gear,like brake etc. will hold the anchor and its chain .
@strobe45652 жыл бұрын
This is a ships anchor chain. They are testing the braking system of the anchor chain. Ships anchors are lowered by gravity and there is only one drum brake to restrict its motion. By regulation the drum brake should have braking power of 40% of the cable's failing load. The inspectors are here to tst the braking efficiency. Whether the brake slips or not.

Yes correct. On large ships the anchor can be lowered by 2 methods. By using the same motor ( electric and hydraulic ) that is used to lift up the anchor and is known as the walk back method. The qnchor is lowere by driving the motor at a fixed speed. And the other method is to let it go down freely under gravity also known as the let go method.

@MrPLC9993 жыл бұрын
The "governor" is called a "brake." That's the only thing that can stop the chain. When the brake fails, it's good bye anchor. Well, an attempt will usually be made to recover the anchor as it's usually in fairly shallow water.
@strobe45652 жыл бұрын
On very large ships with very heavy anchors arrangements are provided for controlled lowering in addition to gravity lowering. In such ships the electric or hydraulic motor that picks up the anchor can also be run in reverse direction under controlled speed to lower the anchor. But i agree there should have been some kind of centrifugal braking arrangement as well to control the speed of lowering on all boats.
