Hump boat
Abstract:
A water vessel containing a central hump or dome underneath the vessel, with a waterjet system pumping water downward into the hump. The invention utilizes waterjet propulsion and hull shape to create water hump lift. A waterjet system pumps water from the front of the vessel downward into the hump underneath the center of the vessel. This produces lift and reduces the water friction against the water vessel. This also creates a wave or hump of water beneath the vessel, enabling the vessel to ride down the resulting wave. The size and shape of the water hump depends on the velocity and angle of the waterjets. Baffles are utilized at the front and sides of the water vessel to direct water away from the vessel, or towards the vessel, as needed to further the efficiency of the system.
