Abstract:
A towed vessel suitable for containing and transporting various liquids is disclosed. The vessel further comprises various features useful in the transportation, navigation, and storage of the towable vessel, both when in use for transporting fluids and when transported in an emptied state. Such features include navigational and positioning devices and methods, power supply devices and methods, and means for filling, inflating, emptying, and deflating a non-rigid, towed vessel. Aspects of embodiments of the present invention further include features useful for purifying or preserving the purity of the fluid to be transported.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for storing and conveying fluids, said system comprising: (a) a non-rigid, water-impermeable device with an elongate shape having a first end, a second end and having a generally streamlined shape in plan view; the first end comprising a first attachment device; the second end comprising a second attachment device; at least two ports for intake and exhaust of fluids; at least one of the at least two ports comprising a valve for a user to adjust buoyancy of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device; at least a portion of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device containing a fluid of lower density than a fluid through which said non-rigid, water-impermeable device is transported; one or more valves in two-way communication with at least a portion of an interior volume of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device and an outside environment; a transmitter for conveying information related to the geographic position of the device; at least a portion of an internal surface area of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device being comprised of a flexible and tear resistant material; at least two mooring devices; and an anchored member having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal length; wherein\n the first attachment device of the first end is secured to one of the at least two mooring devices; the second attachment device of the second end is secured to the second of the at least two mooring devices; and the non-rigid, water-impermeable device is moored to a fixed or floating object; (b) a global positioning system (GPS) transponder positioned on the non-rigid, water-impermeable device; (c) one or more photovoltaic arrays to collect solar energy, said arrays being adapted to contact a non-submerged surface of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device; further comprising one or more drones, wherein the drones are capable of maneuvering the non-rigid, water-impermeable device; and wherein the amount of air within a portion of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device adjusts the buoyancy of the non-rigid, water-impermeable device.
