TAMING THE OCEAN.
WONDERFUL POWER OIL EXERCISES
OVER THE ANGRY WAVE.
The Active Agent Is Oleic Acid, a Discove
ery Made by German Investigators—A
Thin Layer of This Acid Possesses a Potency Which Is Simply Marvelous,
The effect of oil in calming the surface of a stormy sea, the original discovery of which was accidental, has of
late been the subject of scientific investigation, and it is now possible to
choose such oils as are best suited for
the purpose, and also to point out the
source oftheir peculiar power over the
waves. The statistics collected at the
hydrographic office of the bureau of
‘navigation show, by the’reports of sea
captains themselves, that many a vessel
has been saved not only from serious injury, but from. foundering, by the use
of a few gallons of oil slowly trickled
into the sea. The influence of the oil is
frequently described in such reports as
wonderful, magical and almost incredible.
‘
It is not difficult to see upon what
this calming effect of oil depends, although the complete. explanation of it
involves a mathematical process of demonstration, The oil acts like a thin skin
drawn over the water, resisting the
tendency of the latter to break into
spray under the force of the wind. The
danger to aship from storm waves arises
from the breaking of the waves. As long
as their surfaces are smooth and their
crests unbroken the vessel rides them
easily and safely. But when they break,
and secondary waves are formed, it is
quite otherwise. Then theship plunges
into the: foaming walls upreared around
it, with frame racking shocks; immense
masses of water thunder down upon its
Sweeping everything clean, and
ometimes even the strongest hulls and
the best seamanship are unable to prevail in the contest. This is the danger
that the spreading of oil over the waves
removes.
At first sight it seems almost. impossible that a thin oily film resting on
the tremendous sea waves could éxercise
a controlling influence over them. -:The
display of resistless energy made by the
breaking waves is sd imposing and terrific that one might well believe no
power less gigantic than their. own
could withstand them. The effect of
the oi] resembles that of the apparently
insignificant force of chemical combination holding in restraint the explosive
energy of gunpowder.
It is o German investigators that we
owe the discovery of the active agent
which enables oil to exercise its calming effect.upon the sea. This agent is
oleic acid, an ingredient found in lard,
olive oil and: many other. oils. . Those
oils that possess the largest proportion
of oleic acid are the most effective in
controlling the waves. It is through ita
gradual separation from the rest of the
oil and its diffusion in the water that
oleic acid acts. When a dropof oil rests
upon water, the oil flattens out through
the effects of its own weight. At the
edge of the flattened disk of oil the oleic
acid tends most rapidly to dissolve in
the water, and the very act of dissoly‘ing evolves energy which causes the oil
to spread still farther, thus keeping its
edges constantly in contact with water
oleic acid. This spreading continues
with great rapidity until all of the oleic
acid has been dissolved. Sometimes the
layer thus formed does not exceed a
twelve-millionth of an inch in thickness!
It would not be easy to explain, without entering into technicalities, how the
forces involved in the dissolving action
just described result in a resistance to
the rising of waves. Mathematical considerations prove that such an effect exists, and it has been shown experimentally that oleic acid spreading over water . an
is capable of arresting the progress of P
floating chips driven by the wind, and
even of forcihg such chips to move
against the direction of the wind.
' The power of a wave is made up of
the combined energy of all of the particles of water composing -it, but every
particle at the surface of the wave is.
opposed by the foree brought into play
by the oleic acid, and thus the tend
of the surface of the wave to break i
resisted. Of course. the formation oi
the wave as a whole cannot be prevented by this mere surface resistance, but
the character of the action going on at
the surface is controlled by it, and that
is the important thingso far as the
safety of ships is concerned,
The discovery of the essential part
played by oleic acid explains why petroleum has never been found so efficient
‘as other oils—olive oil, for instance, in
smoothing waves—for petroleum contains a cormmparatively small proportion:
of that ingredient. The German investigators would recommend the use of
pure oleic acid except for the fact that
it freezes at about 18 degrees above
zero and consequently is useless in very
cold weather. They have found, however, that a mixture of oleic acid and
alcohol-remains liquid at only 5 degrees
above zero, and they accordingly reoommend such a mixture as being the
best wave calming means yet disvovered, Almost-any animal or vegetable oil
is better than petroleum. Soap water
has been found effective, if a soap containing plenty of oleic acid, which all
soaps do not contain, is used.—New
