Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System
The Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System (MALS)[1] is a system that reduces the viscous resistance component of the hull of ship by creating a layer of air bubbles below the hull of the ship. This reduces frictional resistance between the hull and the seawater. The system has been designed for and passenger ships.[2] The blower uses a motor to generate the bubbles, and is mainly designed for use on flat hulls. A similar system is also made by Silverstream technologies.
