Abstract

See full text

An antifouling system for reducing and/or preventing fouling of an object exposed to fouling conditions when in use, comprising a plurality of antifouling devices (26) for providing an antifouling radiation to at least part of the object and/or at least part of the antifouling system; wherein the antifouling system further comprises: —a power transmission system comprising: —an inductive power emitter (10) comprising at least one inductive emitter element (12); and —a plurality of inductive power receivers (24) each one comprising at least one inductive receiver element; wherein the inductive power emitter and the plurality of inductive power receivers are for mounting on the object in a fixed configuration with respect to each other thereby to provide an inductive coupling between each one of the at least one inductive receiver elements and the at least one inductive emitter element such that power may be inductively transmitted when the power transmission system is in use; and wherein the plurality of antifouling devices (26) are configured to be driven using transmitted power from at least one of the plurality of inductive power receivers when the system is in use.
