Propulsion system for a person or a watercraft
The present disclosure provides that includes a power supply; a propulsion device and an adapter. The propulsion device includes a housing comprising an outer surface, a motor disposed within the housing and coupled to a propeller for generating propulsion forces for propelling the propulsion device; and an electrical connection on the outer surface of the housing and connected to the motor. The adapter comprises an electrical conduit extending between a first end and a second end of the adapter, the first end configured to couple to a support for the power supply and the second end configured to releasably attach to the outer surface of the housing of the propulsion device to form a watertight seal and to electrically connect, via the electrical conduit, the power supply to the electrical connection on the outer surface of the housing to supply power from the power supply to the motor.

Underwater propulsion belt
An underwater propulsion belt that propels a user underwater and includes a plurality of gates, each gate has a channel. A pump is found in each gate and is controlled independently form the other gates. A power supply powers the pumps to pump water in either direction through the channel. The underwater propulsion belt further includes circuitry configured to receive diver information from the user and from one or more sensors. The underwater propulsion belt controls, based on the information, the movement of the user. The user's position is calculated based on whether the user is in an upright or prone position, and maintains, based on the calculation, the user's balance.
