Ship rolling cure via weighted pendulums tested on Cecile
The London Times notes increasing ship rolls as steamers gain speed. Thornycroft devised a hydraulic counterweight system using short and long period pendulums to balance waves, tested aboard the 250 ton Cecile yacht with promising roll reductions even in heavy seas. The setup uses electromagnets, a hydraulic cylinder, and a ballast weight swung to counteract wave motion.
