1 A MARINE VESSEL WITH COMBUSTION ROOM TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION: At its most broad, the invention pertains to the field of technology powered in entirety or in part by means of a renewable energy source. Applicant regards photosynthesis and consequently all bio- fuels to be forms of solar power. Application focuses on technology designed to extract power from energy deposited into organic matter by sunlight. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: There is a fine distinction between a source of renewable energy and a source of renewable power. An excellent example of the latter is a windmill. A woolen Winter hat is an example of the former. Owing to their abundance in nature, such sources of energy tend to be relatively economical in contrast with less accessible alternates. Patent number 2 525 088 (Canadian Application) discloses a source of renewable energy. This source takes the form of a candle. Plant oil, which may include corn oil, processed into a solidified form composes the structure of the disclosed candle. The candle could be lit even in the absence of a wick, by integrating combustible powdered matter into the candle structure. Accordingly, this application discloses a means of employing corn oil as a fuel. This fuel use, however, is limited to the light and heat released by a candle. That is, there is no demand for corn oil created from the technology disclosed therein. Patent number 2 942 315 (Canadian Application) discloses a device employed in conjunction to renewable energy. This device is a fire-starter, constructed of natural material, including wax. The fire- starter supports presumably a stack of logs, and through ignition and combustion of fire-starter itself, the logs may release renewable energy in the form of heat and light. This heat cannot be directed to generate power in the form of electricity, thus the technology does not make logs a substantially more viable fuel source. Patent number 2 852 239 (Canadian Application) discloses a specialized candlewick constructed from hemp-fibre. Here, the ignition of the hemp wick can function only insofar as to sustain its own burning by means of vapor released from the candle structure. This could create some demand for hemp fibre product. Persons may deliberately inhale smoke from the burning hemp wick candle, in an effort at recreational drug use. However, the disclosed technology cannot commercialize hemp fibre. The value of hemp fibre is in its flexibility, durability, and flammability. This patent only exploits the final property. CA 2966953 2017-12-21 2 The present application provides a source of renewable power, in the form of a ship. It further provides a source of renewable energy, in the form of a device. The invention of the ship allows for corn oil to function as a fuel in the production of electrical power, and for the economical transmission of same power. Since the ship can both generate the power, and accommodate consumers for same, the need for expansive and complex means of transmission is eliminated entirely. Therefore, the problem of limited availability of economical fuel sources is addressed through the ship of present disclosure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: Some fuels, kerosene for instance, ignite at a relatively low temperature. This makes it easy to extract mechanical work from kerosene, and similarly low ignition fuels. Other, often organic, 'fuels can only ignite at a relatively high temperature. This property complicates the extraction of power therefrom, hence the limited employment of high ignition fuels in pure form. Where employed, these fuels undergo processing into biodiesel, in order to lower the natural ignition point. Accordingly, biodiesel is more expensive than the pure natural product from which the biodiesel derives. The present invention is a ship designed to operate off a relatively high ignition fuel source. The invention comprises a ship with a designated combustion room. There is a compressor connected to the combustion room, which supplies room with oxygen in the form of compressed air. Combustion room interior features a pressurizing unit. This unit comprises three structural components: two solid metal posts, and in between these posts, one fuel containment piece. The fuel containment piece holds a liquid high ignition fuel during operation. The two solid posts permit hemp fibre rope to manually weave from post to post, bottom to top, such that this tied-off roping wraps up the fuel containment piece. The ship combustion room, by means of a high pressure pipeline, connects to an adjacent power room. There is an electrical generator inside the power room, installed so as to ultimately derive power from a turbine positioned under the pipeline discharge nozzle. The pressurizing unit functions to pressurize the piping system with combustion gas. It accomplishes this function by converting the liquid high ignition fuel, held by the containment piece, into smoke through ignition of vapor thereof. Roping must run between the two posts, and around the containment piece. By causing this roping to ignite, the resulting flame must heat exterior of containment piece. This thermal transfer raises the temperature of contained high ignition liquid fuel. Gradually, the fuel vapor escapes containment, and itself ignites from the heat of surrounding flames by means of roping. This ignition both generates smoke, and transfers additional heat to the liquid fuel. Accordingly, the pressurizing unit forces smoke to accumulate inside room piping, thereby building CA 2966953 2017-10-17 3 pressure. Once an adequate level of pressure exists in piping, the smoke releases into the power room, where it acts against a turbine wheel which extracts mechanical power therefrom through a rotary output. This rotary output serves to drive power room generator. By extracting mechanical energy from a high ignition fuel in relatively pure form, the present invention introduces an economical alternative fuel. Since the power generating operation is aboard a specialized ship, the ship must have the means for power delivery. The present invention provides these means through the habitability of the ship design. Put alternately, the consumers of electricity generated by ship are persons residing in cabins aboard the ship. By thus placing the users in close proximity to the power source, the problem of long distance transmission is addressed. Clearly, it is not possible for everyone to move into a ship. The invention may help solve issues, but not completely eliminate these. Some areas are crowded with dense populations. Here, the invention can offer cheaper housing while maintaining a strategic coastline location. Orphanages are commonly understaffed and overcrowded. Places as such can foster social problems, when neglected youth leave to roam the streets. Here, the invention can provide a boarding location for orphaned youth. At the age of twenty, they may be recruited for employment either as prison guards, or as social workers. This helps solve the problems surrounding community safety. Further to the objectives outlined, the invention aims to liquefy electricity as a tangible asset. A designer would have little difficulty installing a generator aboard a ship, and wiring the generator to supply interior with power. However, they would likely install a Diesel engine as drive means for the generator. Since this ship could travel worldwide, and supply electricity, is its asset equal to a source of electrical power? The operational costs resulting from limitations in engine technology diminish an asset as such in value. That is, the price for such a ship would reflect a ship with a generator rather than a means for sustainable electric power. The present invention provides an electric motor powered by ship. This motor connects to a water pump, installed so as to produce a propulsive thrust at outlet thereof. Since this feature enhances the overall ship mobility, it maximizes the liquidity of ship as an asset. The ship features a built-in power plant. By simply sailing ship into the Persian Gulf, or the Bay of San Francisco, one could transfer electricity as an asset to either region. The present-day transmission systems help prevent the liquidity of electrical power as an asset. For instance, to sell power from London, Ontario to London, England, there would need to be a powerline connecting these cities which can never happen. The present invention provides ship with a wood-burning fireplace at deck thereof. Since night temperature is generally lower than daytime, the fireplace can provide light and some heat for persons seeking to escape their cabin. If the ship of present invention failed to offer acceptable living conditions, CA 2966953 2017-10-17 # 4 than its promotion of alternative fuel sources would fail too because people reject discomfort. Further to this, the ship also provides a special apparatus. This apparatus allows the inhalation of organic compounds, in such a manner which is not possible at any other location. The compound can induce drowsiness allowing for a prolonged period of sleep. This may help eliminate the natural need to explore one's surroundings which people sometimes feel. By means of a tube, the apparatus concentrates an inhalant providing a solution for on-board boredom. Lastly, the present invention discloses a manual ignition device. This device allows an individual to ignite combustible materials from a safe distance. Between device ignition and ignition of combustibles, there is an adequate timeframe for departure. The device design intends for planting of ignited device, departure from site, and then ignition of combustible materials around device. The ship of present invention employs this device at onset of combustion in power generating process.

ALL DRAWINGS EMPLOY TWO-DIMENSIONAL ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CLAIMED SUBJECT MATTER: Application discloses a Marine Vessel with Combustion Room, outlined with reference to enclosed seven drawings. A Marine Vessel with Combustion Room is a proposed type of ship specialized to comfortably board occupants while anchored along a coastline. The following attributes characterize subject ship: FIRST ATTRIBUTE. One Combustion-Room SECOND ATTRIBUTE. One Power-Room THIRD ATTRIBUTE. An Exhaust Thermal-Unit FOURTH ATTRIBUTE. A Motorized Water-Pump FINAL ATTRIBUTE. A Deck-Fireplace and Deck Pipe-Apparatus Regarding first attribute, combustion-room is a fire-resistant enclosure. It is constructed of a suitable alloy metal, and features an air-tight entrance door. The interior should permit two standing- adults to easily outstretch their arms fully. To each wall there is a level- piece joined at an above-ground distance equal to one-tenth combustion-room height. For purposes of reference, consider the wall with entrance 'wall A. Directly opposite wall A, there is 'wall B'. To a person facing wall B, the left-side wall is 'wall C'. Directly opposite wall C, there is 'wall D'. Construct a straight line along the ground which runs from wall C-midpoint to centre of ground, and from centre of ground to wall D-midpoint. At x distance from wall C, mark point-Q along this line. At x distance from wall D, mark point-Z along this line. At midpoint, mark point-Y along the line. There are two identical solid posts constructed of steel (1A/1B¨DRAWING ONE). Post length is equal to three-quarters combustion-room height. Centre one post upright on line at point-Q, then weld post to ground. Centre one post upright on line at point-Z, then weld post to ground. There is one hollow containment-piece (2--DRAWING ONE). It is constructed of a precious alloy. Precious alloy composition is seventy-five percent gold, twenty-five percent silver. Both ends are closed. There is a hole, however, through centre of the top-end. Piece diameter equals post-diameter. Piece CA 2966953 2017-12-21 6 length is equal to half the combustion-room height. Position bottom-end on line, centred at point-Y, then weld containment-piece to ground. Through combustion-room ceiling there is a hole, four-times post-diameter. The centre of this hole aligns with containment-piece top-end hole. There is a piece of piping (3- -DRAWING ONE). One piping-piece end joins to a ninety-degree reducing elbow-fitting. Opposite end is open. Near open-end, a square mount encircles piping. Piping open-end fits through ceiling-hole, such that mount rests on top of combustion room. Oriented thus, mount welds in position around the hole same encloses. There is a pipeline (4--DRAWING ONE) half piping-piece in diameter. Piping- piece elbow-fitting supports this pipeline at one end--the 'light-end'. A normally-closed pressure- sensitive control-valve (5-- DRAWING ONE) incorporates into the pipeline connected with a pressure-sensing device (6--DRAWING ONE). A compressed-air tank mounts on top of combustion-room (7--DRAWING-ONE). Tank- outlet runs into combustion-room through ceiling thereof. Wall-C exterior features bracketing. This bracketing supports an air-compressor (8--DRAWING ONE). Air-compressor outlet connects to inlet of compressed- air tank. Regarding second attribute, power-room is an enclosure adjacent to combustion- room wall-D. It has a volume approximately four-times greater than combustion-room interior. All four room-walls are metallic, though its ground and ceiling may be alternate material. There is an entrance-door, co- planar with combustion-room entrance. This wall with entrance is 'wall-A'. Opposite wall-A, there is 'wall-B'. For someone facing wall-B, the left-side wall is 'wall-C'. Directly opposite wall-C, there is 'wall- D'. In wall-C there is a hole, half the diameter of combustion-room ceiling- hole. This hole supports 'heavy-end of pipeline running over combustion-room--opposite aforementioned pipeline light-end. Through this hole, pipeline enters power-room interior. There is a ninety- degree elbow-fitting. It is open at one end. A discharge-nozzle (9--DRAWING ONE) connects to other end. Elbow fits onto pipeline-end such that discharge-nozzle thereof points to power-room ground ('down'). A support-bracket secures against wall-C, closer than pipeline-hole to ground- level though to same aligned, and in parallel with pipe. At bracket-end, there is a plate through middle of which, there is a hole. There is a drive-shaft (10--DRAWING ONE). Drive-shaft length equals two-fifths the height of combustion-room. Fitted over drive-shaft is a collar-bearing component (11-- DRAWING ONE). Joined at one drive-shaft end (10--DRAWING TWO) is an inner-wheel (22--DRAWING TWO). Around inner-wheel, a series of blades radiate (23--DRAWING TWO). Containing slots compatible with blade-series, there is an outer-wheel (12--DRAWING TWO). By means of these slots, outer wheel mounts onto blade-series. Oriented thus, each blade welds into its own slot. End of drive-shaft opposite this bladed-wheel inserts through the bracket-plate hole. Relative to pipeline discharge nozzle, position of bladed-wheel (12- DRAWING ONE) is eccentric. Oriented thus, drive-shaft bearing-collar fastens down over bracket-plate (13--DRAWING ONE). CA 2966953 2017-10-17 7 A bracket-pair anchors against wall-C. Located above ground-level, bracket- pair aligns to drive- shaft bracket. Midway between bracket-pair and drive-shaft bracket, an identical bracket-pair, likewise aligned anchors against wall-C. There is a driven-shaft. Driven-shaft diameter equals half the drive-shaft diameter. Driven-shaft length is equal to three-fifths combustion-room height. Driven-shaft features two collar-bearings. Driven-shaft fits between both bracket-pairs. One bearing-collar mounts over one bracket-pair. Oriented thus, the bracketing secures driven-shaft in place. On wall-D, at a level higher than drive-shaft bracket on wall-C, there is a thermometer instrumentation-device. Mounted on surface opposite ceiling, there is a vacuum- pump installation. From instrumentation-device (14--DRAWING ONE), into vacuum-pump (15--DRAWING ONE), an electrical transmission-wire (16--DRAWING ONE) runs. The vacuum-pump outlet joins to a pipeline, the pipeline (17--DRAWING ONE) runs into the 'exhaust thermal-unit component (third attribute). From midway into power-room, a pipeline (18--DRAWING ONE) runs straight through ceiling thereof. Ninety- degrees therefrom, pipeline runs into vacuum-pump inlet. Inside power-room, pipeline connects to a suction-head piece (19--DRAWING ONE). Regarding third attribute, exhaust thermal-unit describes an aluminum receptacle (24-- DRAWING THREE). Of the six receptacle sides, there is a central-port in four of them. These four ports are 'port-A', 'port-Y', 'port-X', and 'port-B'. Port-X and port-Y are diametrically-opposed. Port-A and port-B are diametrically-opposed. There is a pipe (25--DRAWING THREE) running through receptacle, from port-A to port-B. Pipe construction-material is pure silver. At port-A, the pipe couples to an external water-line (26--DRAWING THREE) one-quarter its diameter. At port-B, the pipe couples to an external control-valve (27-- DRAWING THREE) integrated into a plumbing-circuit. There is a temperature- sensing instrument installed in the pipe (28--DRAWING THREE). At port-X, receptacle connects to external pipeline (29--DRAWING THREE) running over power- room from vacuum-pump outlet. At port-Y, receptacle connects to an external pressure-relief valve (30- -DRAWING THREE). External pressure-relief valve connects to an exhaust-line (31--DRAWING THREE) running out to ship exterior. Concerning motorized water-pump, the fourth attribute, there is an electric- motor (32-- DRAWING FOUR) connected to a ship-linked power-outlet. Located under the ship, within rear-end, there is a water-pump (33--DRAWING FOUR). Water-pump outlet (34--DRAWING FOUR) runs parallel with underside of ship. Water-pump inlet (35--DRAWING FOUR) orients perpendicular--perpendicular relative to the water-surface. Between electric-motor and water-pump there is transmission-coupling (36--DRAWING FOUR). CA 2966953 2017-10-17 8 Subject Marine Vessel with Combustion Room design endeavors to generate power for prolonged internal-consumption. To this end, ground of power-room supports an enclosure having thermal insulation means. Inside insulated enclosure (20--DRAWING ONE), there is a Direct Current electrical-generator (21--DRAWING ONE). Enclosure-insulation must sustain interior at an ideal operating-temperature for electrical-generator. Power-room drive-shaft is eccentric of pipeline discharge-nozzle. This nozzle must shift until angled accordingly: nozzle mouth aligns to one point of bladed-wheel blade face-side, closer to wheel-axis than to blade-tip. Additionally, drive-shaft must transmit power to driven-shaft. Driven-shaft must facilitate electrical- generator operation, through any engineered-design. Ship power-generating operation begins in a workshop aboard ship. Workshop primarily utilizes a power-saw. The work-crew for ship should be Naval-Force recruits. Workshop recycles fallen tree- branches. To this end, workers operate saw, then proceed to cut branches into progressively smaller pieces. When these pieces are too small for further sawing, they are allocated to a bin designated 'fireplace wood-scrap'. Workers carefully gather operation sawdust, collecting it in paper bags for storage. They then may assemble 'Ignition Devices' as per the following sequence: There is a cardboard-roll (37--DRAWING FIVE)--the 'stick'. The stick features two sides. An outside and an inside. The stick also features two opposite-ends. A bottom, 'end-B', and a top, 'end-T'. THE WORKER... 1. Applies dextrin-glue around end-B outside. 2. Applies dextrin-glue around end-B inside. 3. Places a piece of folded newspaper over end-B. 4. Creases newspaper-piece (38--DRAWING FIVE) over end-B edge. 5. Squeezes piece at crease against both glue-coatings all-the-way around end- B. 6. Repeats 'step five' only with moderate plyer-pressure instead of fingers. There is a hemp-cord (39--DRAWING FIVE), greater in length than stick by one- quarter stick- length. There is a pin (40--DRAWING FIVE). Blunt-end centres into a clasp (41-- DRAWING FIVE). Pin length exceeds stick diameter by a fractional-measurement. THE WORKER... 7. Lays stick on work-table and runs hemp-cord through end-T until one cord- tip touches end-B newspaper. This is hemp-cord 'tip-B`, opposite 'tip-I'. 8. Inserts pin into stick, at point half stick-diameter below end-T. 9. Pushes pin through hemp-cord. CA 2966953 2017-12-21 9 10. Pushes pin out stick at point opposite insertion-point. 11. Slides a copper-collar (42--DRAWING FIVE) over pin sharp-end. 12. Grasps collar between plyers. Squeezes collar between plyers until collar deforms against pin. Must succeed in collar-crimping before sequence continues. 13. Empties sawdust-bags into end-T until sawdust reaches the pin. 14. Applies dextrin-glue around end-T outside. 15. Applies dextrin-glue around end-T inside. 16. Places a piece of aluminum-foil (43--DRAWING FIVE) over end-T. 17. Creases foil over end-T edge. Presses crease against both glue coatings all-the-way around end-T. 18. Squeezes foil against hemp-cord. Aluminum should not be closer than half stick-diameter to tip-T. This completes one ignition device assembly. As the contents of ignition device depend upon exact function, device may take three different forms: STANDARD FORM. The version outlined already SMOKER FORM. Discussed later (two versions) ARSONIST FORM. Discussed last Two workers enter ship combustion-room. They pour corn-oil through top of containment- piece at point-Y, and fill this to top with same oil. This corn-oil must be pure and unrefined. Such grade is often designated 'virgin or 'extra-virgin'. Power-operation proceeds only after the three following sequences: FIRST SEQUENCE. Weaving SECOND SEQUENCE. Ignition THIRD SEQUENCE. Power CA 2966953 2017-10-17 10 In 'weaving', there are numerous hemp-ropes equal in length and diameter. THE WORKERS... 1. Take one hemp-rope. Bring both ends together, resulting in a doubled-rope with a looped- end and an open-end. Rope midpoint to looped-end is 'loop-strand. Rope midpoint to open-end is 'open-strand'. 2. Place rope around base of point-Q post--'post-Q% 3. Bring looped-end over open-strand, past the containment-piece, and slip loop over post-Z, to bottom thereof. 4. Cross open-strand under loop-strand and past the containment piece. 5. Insert open-end through loop-strand from below, then pull open-strand through loop-strand. 6. Cross open-end under loop-strand then pull open-strand under loop-strand. 7. Insert open-end through post-Z loop from below, then pull open-strand through looped-end. 8. Wind open-strand around post-Z above looped-end. 9. Take another hemp-rope. Form rope as in first-step. 10. Place rope around wound-strand on post-Z. 11. Perform the same sequence from post-Z to post-Q. 12. Repeat steps one through eleven until post-Q and post-Z are wrapped in hemp-rope from top-to-bottom. In 'ignition', THE WORKERS... 1. Cover combustion-room ground with a layer of cotton 'terry-towels'. 2. Cover layer of cotton 'terry-towels' with a layer of cotton terry-towels. 3. Scatter shredded-paper across towel-layer. 4. Dump paper-shreds until paper touches level-piece on each wall. 5. Using a rake, clear some paper away from each corner. 6. Return to room with four standard ignition devices and a cigarette-lighter. 7. Proceed to corner wall-B/wall-C. Strike flame with lighter. 8. Hold flame over tip-T of one ignition device. 9. When tip-T ignites, place lit ignition device in corner. CA 2966953 2017-10-17 11 10. Move clockwise to corners remaining, planting in each a lit ignition device. 11. Exit combustion-room, secure entrance-door shut. 12. 'Bleed air-tank into combustion-room. When air-tank pressure drops, upon discharge, to atmospheric, connected compressor starts-up in response. It operates until compressed air-tank returns to threshold pressure-setting. This threshold depends upon the room-architecture. Bleeding occurs at regular-intervals over course of operational proceeding. If workers properly complete both first sequence and second sequence, then 'power' should result accordingly... 1. Flame of each ignition device travels from tip-T to tip-B. 2. Sawdust-content partially ignites. 3. Flame burns through ignition device newspaper. 4. Paper-shreds at room-corners ignite through ignition device heat-source. 5. Smoke releases ignition device sawdust into combustion-room interior. 6. Burning paper-shreds progress into a four-flame fire: Flame Wall-A/Wall-B, Flame Wall-A/Wall-C, Flame Wall-C/Wall-D, & Flame Wall- B/Wall-C 7. Four flames merge into one-flame fire running combustion-room perimeter. 8. Fire spreads inwards. 9. Fire surrounds lowermost roping wrapped-around posts. 10. Fire ignites lowermost hemp-rope strand. 11. Fire travels along rope then climbs to strand above. 12. (Eleven) repeats until highest rope, causing entire hemp-rope winding to burn. 13. Heat surrounding oil-carrying containment piece releases vapors through top-hole. 14. Vapors react with fire oxygen-supply, increasing heat-output of combustion- process. 15. Smoke accumulates inside combustion-room pipeline by-way-of piping-piece. 16. Accumulated-smoke creates pressure against pipeline control-valve. 17. Control-valve reaches threshold-pressure. CA 2966953 2017-10-17 12 18. Control-valve opens until receiving cancel-signal by pressure-drop in pipeline to approximately twenty-percent of threshold-pressure. 19. Smoke flows through control-valve, along pipeline, and out power-room discharge-nozzle. 20. Drive-shaft wheel-blades deflect smoke. 21. Drive-shaft rotates by means of bladed-wheel. 22. Power transmitted to DC-generator. 23. Exhaust-gas heats power-room interior. 24. (Seventeen to twenty-three) repeat until power-room temperature reaches approximately forty-five degrees-Celsius. 25. Power-room instrumentation-device starts vacuum-pump. 26. Power-room exhaust-gas enters suction-head, flows into pipeline. 27. Pipeline exhaust-gas enters vacuum-pump inlet, exits vacuum-pump outlet. 28. Outlet-pipeline delivers exhaust-gas to exhaust thermal-unit. 29. (Seventeen to twenty-eight) repeat until all combustion-room fuel consumed. The implementation of exhaust thermal-unit is to re-use waste-gas heat prior to expulsion into atmosphere by means of exhaust-outlet. This heat is re-used to supply ship- cabins with hot-water. To this end, the following sequence proceeds: 1. By means of port-X exhaust-gas fills the thermal-unit. 2. By means of port-A supply-water fills silver-pipe enclosed in thermal-unit. 3. Exhaust-gas transfers heat to silver-pipe. 4. Silver-pipe transfers heat to supply-water. 5. By means of port-Y thermal-unit releases exhaust-gas before unit reaches maximum- pressure. 6. Pipe temperature-sensing instrument makes comparison between a threshold- ternperature and pipe water-temperature. 7. Pipe water-temperature equals threshold temperature-setting. 8. Pipe temperature-sensing instrument relays control-signal to port-B control- valve. CA 2966953 2017-10-17 13 9. By means of port-B, heated water by-passes open control-valve into domestic plumbing- system. The implementation of motorized water-pump is to conserve engine-fuel during ship transportation-phases. To this end, the following sequence proceeds: 1. Power-room DC-generator discharges electricity. 2. Ship gas-engine propels vessel. 3. Workers start water-pump motor. 4. Motor powers water-pump operation. 5. Water-pump draws water from external-body. 6. Opposite water-lodger travel-direction, water-pump discharges a water-jet by means of outlet. 7. Ship accelerates in travel-direction. Motorized water-pump is an accelerator, consuming internal-power to accelerate the ship, thereby decreasing travel-duration and expenditure of gas-fuel. Subject Marine Vessel with Combustion Room has a layout as follows: A. Crew Workshop B. Crew Cabins C. Occupant Lodge-Cabins D. Deck E. Lounge F. Detainment-Cell In regard to 'C', each occupant lodge-cabin features - One Bedroom - One Bathroom - One Kitchen CA 2966953 2017-12-21 14 - One Round 'Porthole Window - One Air-Conditioning Ventilation-Duct - One metal-cabinet containing a metallic electric heating-unit fixed inside. During heater- operation, the cabinet-door is left shut. Only to release heat periodically into cabin-room does one open cabinet-door. There is no central heating-system aboard ship. - Hot Water Cabins are the only permitted smoking-location aboard the ship. Regarding 'D', each subject ship deck contains the final attribute, a specialized fireplace and a separate specialized apparatus. For fireplace, deck features a 'warm-zone' wherein pillars hold-up an overhead protective-barrier. Within the sheltered zone there is a square layout. At square centre there is an 'X' mark. Each corner of square contains an identical hole, to an approximately two-inch depth. There is a square stainless-steel piece (44--DRAWING 6). On one side thereof, a solid metal leg joins to piece at each corner (45--DRAWING 6). Leg diameter is fractionally less than layout-square hole- diameter. This is fireplace base-piece. There is a square steel-frame (46-- DRAWING 6). Square frame is fractionally greater in perimeter than base-piece. A square-section (47-- DRAWING 6) rests on the frame and the frame and piece weld together. On side opposite frame, a square-ledge sets down on piece around perimeter. The ledge (48--DRAWING 6) and piece weld together. This frame, ledge, and section jointly constitute fireplace upper-surface. There are three identical wall pieces (49A/49B/49C-- DRAWING 6). Wall-piece is a steel square for which base-side mounts into a stand (50A/506/50C-- DRAWING 6). Fireplace base-piece rests down by means of support legs. On opposite-side, a wall-piece sets down on base along one side of perimeter by means of stand. Wall-piece stand and base-piece weld together. At a right-angle to joined wall-piece, another wall-piece sets down on base-piece. This welds to base-piece, by means of stand. Final wall-piece sets onto base-piece at a right-angle to one joined wall, and in parallel with the other joined wall. Stand welds against base- piece surface. Weld also seals the gap present at two wall-junctions. The upper-surface fits overtop three walls. Thus positioned, upper-surface square-section should be parallel to fireplace base-piece. Upper-surface frame and ledge- component should be parallel to fireplace base-piece perimeter. Upper-surface frame contains four-sides yet fireplace features only three walls. It follows that of the four frame-sides, three border along a separate wall. In joining together upper-surface and fireplace, these three frame-sides weld along wall- surface with which they border. In mounting fireplace constructed thus aboard ship, fireplace must be at designated warm-zone. From there, it hoists over ground such that bottom of base centers with the 'X' mark of square-layout. Fireplace then lowers downwards, until each leg thereof enters a hole at layout-corner. When all four- CA 2966953 2017-10-17 15 legs rest solidly inside holes, mounting finishes. In securing mounted- fireplace, it is necessary to weigh down with bricks. Bricks should be atop upper-surface, running along each side of the ledge. Ledge simply prevents bricks falling-off. In fireplace-operation, it is necessary to place a brick-layer overtop fireplace interior-ground. Building an actual fire may then proceed, in accordance with outlined sequence: 1. Cover brick-layer over fireplace-ground with a cotton-fibre towel. 2. Fold about six-inches over at one towel end. 3. Place a standard ignition device onto folded end, parallel to crease, such that only device tip- T extends beyond towel. 4. Wrap folded end around ignition device. 5. Roll wrapped ignition device underneath the towel five-revolutions. 6. Lay three-rows of wooden-logs along towel, placed parallel with ignition device. 7. Fold the towel over logs, and tuck underneath row closest to ignition device. 8. Stack one more row of logs overtop the towel. 9. Along each parallel interior-wall, set down three smoker ignition devices (discussed below) on the brick next to towel. 9. Strike flame with cigarette-lighter. 10. Light the smoker ignition devices and then light the standard ignition device last. This sequence should lead to ignition of the cotton-towel by means of lit standard ignition device. The burning cotton towel will release wood-fuel until the logs ignite and burn, in a contained- fire. In addition to providing heat and light aboard ship at nightfall, the fireplace is a means for a superior alternative to tobacco-smoking. Hence the designated 'smoker ignition device'. These are identical in design to the standard-form. However, they do not contain sawdust inside. Instead, smoker ignition device holds a mixture comprised of: Nine-parts unmalted coarse barley-flour to one-part wood charcoal-powder Burning-cord ignites charcoal-powder mixture-constituent, thereby releasing barley in vapor- form. The barley-vapor contains the chemical-compound piperidine. Piperidine has sedative-properties not unlike nicotine. Smoker ignition device releases piperidine more efficiently than cigarettes release nicotine, however. Inhalation of fireplace combustion by-products here compliments the fire itself. That is, barley-source piperidine diminishes sensation of cold, while the fire releases heat, providing sensation of warmth. CA 2966953 2017-10-17 16 An alternative version of smoker ignition device may release the ergotamine alkaloid, a relaxant. To this end, identical cardboard boxes load with Northern Wild Rice seeds. Each box also receives one black-pepper sachet. An adhesive applies to box tab-lid, then filled boxes seal closed. These boxes fill alternate smoker ignition device halfway. Sawdust fills remaining half, and then assembly completes as previously outlined for standard ignition device. On deck-side opposite the fireplace, there is a pipe-apparatus. These components comprise the pipe-apparatus: 1. Bracket 2. Pipe 3. Cap Bracket describes an arm constructed of nickel, anchored by welding against a wall (51-- DRAWING 7) such that six-feet above-ground. Length of arm (52--DRAWING 7) is at least one-foot. There is a hole through the arm as far as possible from anchor-point. There is a hook (53--DRAWING 7) joined to arm at centre of free-end, surface away from wall but parallel thereto. Pipe describes a piece constructed of bronze. One pipe-end is completely open and features female threading inside (54--DRAWING 7). Opposite pipe-end is partially open, by means of a tube (55-- DRAWING 7) there centered. Pipe Diameter is fractionally less than bracket-hole Pipe Length = Bracket Length (5/4) Tube Diameter = Pipe Diameter (1/4) Tube Length = Pipe Length (1/4) Around the pipe threaded-end there is a square mount-plate (56--DRAWING 7). Cap (57--DRAWING 7) describes a copper piece featuring male-threading. A chain (58-- DRAWING 7) fastens to cap at top-centre thereof. To assemble pipe-apparatus, pipe inserts through hole in arm, such that bracket supports pipe by means of mount-plate thereof. Mount plate anchors to the bracket, either by means of bolting or fusing. Cap-chain slips over hook on bracket-arm. A lock-ring (59--DRAWING 7) slips over the hook, and joins to hook by welding. Pipe-apparatus provides guests opportunity to employ smoker ignition device freely. To this end, guests purchase smoker ignition device, and at pipe-apparatus light the cord-tip by means of cigarette-lighter. They insert lit smoker ignition device into the pipe- apparatus by sliding it into pipe at mounted-end, setting device down closed-end first. After, cap threads into pipe thereby closing it loosely at one end. This allows pipe to release internal gases to exterior by means of tube. Participants CA 2966953 2017-10-17 17 employing disposable plastic-straws syphon the concentrated chemicals delivered from pipe by tube thereof. They then remove straw from mouth, and slowly exhale. In this manner, they may inhale alkaloid fumes in a more concentrated form compared to the open fireplace. Thus pipe-apparatus is a potent alternate. Features for 'E include - One Gas-Powered Grill - One Buffet Table - One Bar-Section - One Sitting-Area - One Air-Hockey Table - Two Computers Regarding bar-section, in addition to alcoholic-beverages, guests may purchase smoker ignition device here. They are priced by the pair. One pair costs ten-dollars. Isolated from the cabins there is 'F', a detainment-cell. This is a sound- proof, small-enclosure, which locks from the outside. Its purpose is to hold persons posing a threat to the safety of others aboard, until the arrival of law-enforcement. This ensures water-lodger provides a safe and secure atmosphere at all times. Although a Marine Vessel with Combustion Room constitutes primary subject- matter of application, one disclosed component is useful outside of this context also. The ignition device could be employed effectively as a tactical-weapon in national-defence. Hence the form previously referenced, 'arsonist ignition device'. This is identical in design to standard-form. Arsonist ignition device contents is a mixture, however, comprised of: One-part wood charcoal-powder to one-part sawdust CA 2966953 2017-12-21 18 Arsonist ignition device has the capability to destroy entire fields of domestic-crop. While globally many people rely on crops directly, they rely more heavily on domestic-animals which directly rely on crops. Large-scale destruction of certain crop-fields could create economic-challenges in rearing poultry, swine, and cattle. These certain crop-fields supply animal-fodder constituency. Arsonist ignition device combat-suitability therefore, lies in its capacity to systematically destroy fields of: 1. Alfalfa 2. Hay-grass 3. Cereal-Grains Co-ordinated deployment of arsonist ignition device may severely disrupt the agricultural- productivity of any nation. This disruption would affect quality-of-life so adversely that population divert government-resources away from international-affairs. Arsonist ignition device deployment may be accomplished with minimal training and expense by means of the following sequence: 1. Jet aircraft circles over target-field. 2. Jet-passenger lights arsonist ignition device and measures fifteen-seconds with timer. 3. At ten-seconds, passenger throws glass-sphere filled with wheat-germ oil into field. 4. At fifteen-seconds, passenger drops burning arsonist ignition device into field. Subject ship remains anchored along a coastline year-round. For instance, the W.L-Manitoba would be a ship based in the Hudson Bay, off the coast of Churchill, Manitoba. This ship remains available in Manitoba for the sooner of 175 lease contracts or thirty-months. Lease contracts include the following provisions: A. $925 entitles a maximum of four occupants to a single cabin for a maximum period of six- weeks. B. Of the four occupants, a maximum of two may be 18 years of age or older. C. Where there is a single occupant, an additional $400 entitles occupant to buffet access. D. Where there is more than one occupant, an additional $275 entitles one occupant to buffet access. E. If during lease-period, occupants are without electricity for thirty consecutive minutes or longer, then their total lease payment may not exceed $300. F. Lease payment includes hydro and utilities. However, if occupant(s) request an additional heating unit, they must pay a rental fee of $450 irrespective of loan time. CA 2966953 2017-10-17 _ - 19 After the elapse of Manitoba availability, the province may sell the ship to a location with an established tourism-sector and national economy. Due to the presence of urbanized-environments in close proximity with water, New York City is one prospective client. Here you find Coney Island, among other suitable sites. The price calculation is as follows: COST (SHIP DESIGN) + COST (SHIP CONSTRUCTION) = x X * (7/4) = P P = PRICE It follows that if Manitoba invested four million dollars to design and twelve million to construct the W.L-Manitoba, successful sale could return the province the amount of: $12 000 000.00 CA 2966953 2017-10-17
