    摘要: This propeller propulsion apparatus for a ship includes a first propeller, a second propeller disposed coaxially with the first propeller and rotating in a direction opposite to the first propeller, a first electric motor configured to drive the first propeller, a second electric motor configured to drive the second propeller, a control unit configured to control each of the first electric motor and the second electric motor, and a memory unit configured to store a combination of rotational frequencies of the first propeller and the second propeller at each vessel speed where total power consumption of the first electric motor and the second electric motor is an optimum value, and the control unit controls the first electric motor and the second electric motor on the basis of the data of the memory unit such that the total power consumption at each vessel speed is the optimum value during an operation of a ship.

    摘要: Conventional surfboards enable a rider to catch a wave and ride towards the shoreline while utilizing the power of the ocean to enjoy the ocean waves uniquely. A low-profile motorized surfboard has been developed to assist riders who may have a disability or struggle to get into the position necessary to begin riding the waves. The surfboard may comprise at least one propeller and electromechanical motor, which may provide propulsion for the rider. The surfboard may have an internal power system and supporting circuitry for safe and reliable propulsion. The motorized surfboard may have a low-profile system that is collapsible and allows for the rider to enjoy the surf as if the surfboard were a conventional system. The system may also function to return the rider to the shoreline.

    摘要: A hull control device is provided, which includes an error distance calculating module, an approaching speed calculating module and a command value setting module. The error distance calculating module calculates an error distance between a target position of a fixed-point hold and a ship position. The approaching speed calculating module calculates an approaching speed of a ship to the target position. The command value setting module sets a throttle command value according to a combination of the error distance and the approaching speed.

    摘要: A ship body control device is provided, which includes a control lever having a neutral position, and processing circuitry. When the control lever is moved during an automatic cruise, the processing circuitry executes a deceleration control from a speed of a ship body during the automatic cruise, and when the position of the control lever is in agreement with a position for changing to a manual cruise, the processing circuitry changes the automatic cruise to the manual cruise at a rotating speed of an engine according to the position for changing to the manual cruise.
