    摘要: A modular configuration of a workboat including a main deck. The workboat includes an engine operators station including one or more variable frequency drives and one or more switchboards to manage propulsion of the workboat. The workboat also includes one or more battery sets, wherein each of the one or more battery sets includes a plurality of batteries contained in a battery set container, wherein at least one of the one or more battery sets is coupled to one or more systems of the workboat that require energy. The battery set containers may be moved using a rail structure of the workboat below the main deck. The one or more battery set containers may be moved back and forth below the main deck for transfer in and out of the workboat.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a submerged-floating type water house. The house comprises: a first lower side part and a second lower side part formed symmetrically with respect to each other; a first upper side part and a second upper side part formed symmetrically and extending from the first lower side part and the second lower side part; and a front part and a rear part formed in front of and in back of the first lower side part and second lower side part and the first upper side part and second upper side part, thereby forming a rhombic-shaped body and floating in water.

    摘要: A control system for a trolling motor operated based upon commands generated by a wireless remote control device and a wired foot pedal is provided. The controller is interposed between the trolling motor and the wired foot pedal to add wireless controllability to the trolling motor via the wireless remote control. The controller communicates with the remote control through a bidirectional wireless communication link to receive commands and to provide status information on the operation of the motor. The remote control includes user inputs for generating commands that are sent wirelessly to the controller to control operation of the marine device. The remote control also includes a display for displaying real time status information that is received wirelessly from the controller. The controller generates control signals upon receipt of wireless communication from the remote control that simulate signals that are normally generated by the wired foot pedal.

    摘要: One embodiment of the invention comprises a method for controlling a marine vessel having a first steerable propulsor, a corresponding first reversing device, a second steerable propulsor and a corresponding second reversing device. The method comprises receiving a first vessel control signal corresponding to a rotational movement and no translational movement command, generating at least a first actuator control signal and a second actuator control signal in response to the first vessel control signal, coupling the first actuator control signal to and controlling the first steerable propulsor and the second steerable propulsor, and coupling the second actuator control signal to and controlling the first reversing device and to the second reversing device. The method creates rotational forces on the marine vessel with substantially no translational forces on the marine vessel.

    摘要: A boat comprises a hull, a primary steering mechanism carried by the hull, a control station located on the hull, a helm located at the control station, and a thruster system carried by the hull. The primary steering mechanism, such as a rudder, is operable via the helm with a helm input being derived from operation of the primary steering mechanism thereby. The thruster system includes at least one thruster mounted to the hull, distinct from the primary steering mechanism, and a controller. The controller receives the helm input and is configured with program instructions to operate the at least one thruster responsive to the helm input to supplement a corresponding movement of the hull. The controller can also automatically operate the thruster responsive to direction, speed and ballast inputs.

    摘要: A retrofittable watercraft propulsion device enables motorized propulsion and maneuvering of a watercraft occupied by a user. The retrofittable watercraft propulsion device includes an elongated shaft, an impeller pump, a handle, a control input device, a portable power source, a swivel bracket, and a microprocessor. The elongated shaft submerges the impeller pump below the waterline and provides support for the user while the watercraft is in motion. The impeller pump harnesses the water and generates thrust to propel and maneuver the watercraft. The control input device allows the user to throttle or brake the impeller pump. The portable power source supplies electrical energy to the microprocessor and the impeller pump. The swivel bracket swivels the elongated shaft and redirects the thrust of the impeller pump. Finally, the microprocessor controls the impeller pump based on how the user operates the control input device.
