ABSTRACT

This boat propulsion device can come in various sizes, shapes and power andcan vividly demonstrate the importance of certain scientific principles whichhave been left out or totally misunderstood by the prior art designs. The boatpropulsion device comprises thrust and force member systems of a boat or shipperforming way above the accepted horrible inefficient 3% or so boat and shipthrust and force devices used before this pioneering invention, by beingphenomenally more efficient thrust and force member through being movedthrough the water in a mostly straight line a proper distance creating greaterand greater thrust and force with speed, but avoids cavitation or detrimentalvoids momentarily created when water is firmly pushed in any direction and thereby easily being onto and/or more than a 1000% more efficient than prior artdevices.

DESCRIPTION (OCR text may contain errors)

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to devices for producing propulsion to boats orships moving in or on medium water that is novel and pioneering in its efficientresult that is strikingly contrary to the extremely inefficient prior art.

BAKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Means for propelling boats go back to ancient times and have been diverse indesign. From poles, oars, sails and propellers, etc.

In recent times they have followed status quo accepted methods that facilitatethe use of devices other than man for power. Especially the propeller coined byso-called experts "the power of the screw" which proves they were not thinking.Because the ability of a screw to apply force or pressure is dependant upondensity or hardness of the medium, the screw is penetrating.

Example: Turn a screw into a Jello® medium and you get no real pressure orforce likewise in water to some extent. Art of pumps show propellers cannotproduce high pressure or P.S.I, and are not considered positive displacementpumps.

Accordingly, now surprisingly, the prior art devices are notoriously inefficientgetting a mere two or three miles to the gallon, or less, of combustible fuelsused and/or being about 3% efficient of its power source.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It becomes obvious to the inventor from over 45 years of study, research, deepthinking and experimentation, that there is a way that rises above the inefficientlimitations of prior art. By taking in the mathematical relationship of the mediumof water so as to function in a very efficient manner to propel boats or ships,density and gravity considered, results in remarkable results.

An object of the invention is to provide an effective boat propulsion means thus

9. The efficient thrust and force members of system or systems accordingto Claim 1 are offset to each other to facilitate greater distance betweenmembers of any system or systems.

10. The efficient thrust and force member systems according to Claim 1 aremore than even two systems.

11. The efficient thrust and force members and/or the entire system orsystems of claim 1 are made adjustable for greater or lesser depth of thrustforce member or members.

horsepower of power sources used today. This goal is achieved by a novel andpioneering design in that the boat propulsion device takes into considerationthat the velocity of water to fill a cavity in water is dependant upon gravity,wherein the means of the invention does not violate that fact - nor producecavitation and the result gives a positive force of propulsion by considering thedensity of water and the effect of gravity upon water simultaneously that canresult in exacting and predictable forces and propulsion of a given boat at a highefficiencies and speeds and control far above an inefficient prior art achievingonly a mere 3% or so of the horsepower source.

The propulsion boat members of the invention are pulled in a straight line (notan arc) a proper and practical distance before coming out of the water andtraveling back to the opposite end, then emerging again into the water repeating said motion of propulsion means thatkeep proper distance between the members wherein they do not hit cavities of system in the water that were temporarilycaused by the member in front of one another. The width and depth and speed are relative to force or thrust needed for agiven boat or ship. On a ship there may be a number of members or systems even offset and so pulled a goodly distance.The members could be offset of any system and designed to collapse when not in propulsion position and therein becompletely underwater and still function efficiently and practically. They can be designed to function on both sides of theship with a system - wherein control and very quick and sharp turns can be accomplished.

No rudder would be needed. Reverse and stoppage can be very quick. There can be numerous systems for greater thrustand force and speed and distance between members. In short, a boat propulsion means that can now cause a boat or shipto function as easily and efficiently, or even more so, as a land vehicle. Even a submarine can use this principle to performwith more agility.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Figure 1 shows the top view and shows embodiments applied to a boat and with the description explains how and why oneskilled in art would and could build this extremely efficient pioneering invention for boats and ships of any type. Figure 2shows the side view of the embodiment and with the description explains easily how one skilled in the art could apply itsphenomenal results to any boat or ship of any type.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

The drawing depicting the top view of Figure 1 of the invention is easily understood by first look and description now given:1 are chain sprockets and 2 are thrust and force members that through Chain 3 connection to Motors 4 propel the boatforward or backward or sharp 90° turns or 360° complete turn around and stay in the same area.

Thrust members 2 apply a greater and greater force or thrust with speed of straight direction and avoidance of any cavitycaused by another thrust member 2.

Fort turning, one slows down one Motor 4 of one side of boat while other motor 4 runs at faster speed. Backing up simplyrun motors 4 in reverse direction or have transmission between Motor 4 and attachment to shaft of sprockets 1 of system.The drawing depicting the side view of Figure 2 is easily understood by one skilled in the art, but what has not beenunderstood by those skilled in the art is why thrust members 2 would give result phenomenally superior to propellers nowused universally on earth.

The reason is understood if one pulls the ancient paddle in the water and then looks down at the momentary cavitycreated behind direction of paddle. A propeller is like several paddle blades at an angel and connected to a rotatable shaft.Therein the propeller creates the same similar problem and they use the word "cavitation."

The pioneering invention here of thrust members 2 and Figure 1 and Figure 2 purposely avoid those critical problems ofpropulsion. In fact, tests clearly prove thrust and force are shockingly demonstrated on propulsion of a boat so design asdisclosed way beyond the dismal effectiveness of propellers, etc. of prior accepted art.

The world will be dumbfounded by the results shown in the application by thrust members 2 of this system pioneeringinvention to boats and ships of the world but at the same time pleased and joyful with the phenomenal results and benefitto industry and humanity. I accordingly depend on my claims for deserved patent protection for this pioneering patentapplication and patents issued by the grace of God, Amen.
