    摘要: The invention relates to amphibious and “ground affect” vehicles. The invention incorporates a special wheel consisting of a box portion affixed to a disc or wheel portion. A vehicle with such wheels can roll on most surfaces with easy transition from one medium to another. For example, it can roll from the terrain, onto the water and then back to the land. Such wheels enable vehicles to roll on top of the snow and other surfaces where conventional wheels cannot.

    摘要: A marine propulsion system includes a housing configured to be coupled to, or within, a marine vessel hull. At least one pair of counter-rotating impellers is disposed within the housing such that the rotation occurs in a plane generally parallel to the surface of the water. A moveable output nozzle is coupled to the rear portion of the housing and can move to facilitate controlling the direction of travel of the vessel.

    摘要: The invention relates to a watercraft having improved characteristics for travel in ice, particularly an icebreaker, supply vessel, cargo vessel or corresponding, which watercraft has a hull, which has at the stern portion a propulsion and steering arrangement, which is mainly responsible for movement and steering of the watercraft and which includes at least one skeg, in which is located at least one propeller device. In accordance with the invention, said skegs comprise two units located on different sides of the center line of the hull. Said propeller device is located at the stern end of the skeg. In addition, the skeg has between the propeller device and the hull of the watercraft, in the longitudinal direction on the skeg, one or more thruster devices to provide a water flow mainly transverse in relation to the hull.

    摘要: A steering control system for ski boat with an inboard motor and a single, non-steerable propeller. The control system augments the traditional aft rudder with a forward rudder (located immediately in front of the propeller), and controls one or both rudders to improve steering when backing and in low forward speed conditions. The control system may control only the forward rudder, while the pre-existing controls operate the aft rudder, or optionally controls both rudders. The rudder angle control algorithm calculates proportional rudder angles based on helm and throttle settings, or optimal rudder angles based on more sensed conditions including the operator's helm and throttle controls, the ski boat's direction and speed, propeller RPM and thrust direction, and each rudder's angle. An electronic controller sends control signals to the rudders to achieve the optimal rudder angles.
