Disclosed is a compact egg-shaped propeller, including an outer shell, an inner shell, and a driving motor unit arranged in the inner shell. The outer shell is detachably connected to the inner shell; the outer shell is egg-shaped; the outer shell is provided with a front cover at a top of the driving motor unit; the outer shell is provided with a jet orifice at a tail portion of the driving motor unit; blades are connected to one side of the driving motor unit close to the front cover; the driving motor unit is connected to a main control compartment; foldable handles are connected to a left side and right side of the main control compartment respectively; and the foldable handles are movably connected to the inner shell. By means of the layout, the gravity center is centered, the structure is compact and simple, and the appearance is simple and beautiful; the blades and the motor are designed in front, and the semi-circular front cover prevents debris and hands from entering; a battery indicator can display current remaining power to a user; a buoyancy block ensures that the whole device does not sink down after a user loosens the hands in water, facilitating search; and when the device is not in use, the handles can be folded, thereby facilitating storage and carrying.

A catamaran for a wheelchair has two parallel pontoons secured abeam a bow beam and a wheelchair engaging framework for selective attachment and submersion of a wheelchair in water between the pontoons behind the bow beam in use. The catamaran is able to engage a wheelchair in a simple and convenient manner for recreational water sport use by those of limited mobility.

An underwater propulsion system is disclosed comprising a foot board with one or more battery-powered propulsion units. A throttle control system may be enabled in the foot board such that a movement of the user's foot controls the throttle. Flattened Lithium batteries allow thin lightweight construction of the foot board. Use of trolling motors as propulsion units provides thrust advantages over pre-existing underwater scooters.

A low emission submersible engine is part of a multipurpose aquatic device, such as an aquatic craft or an electrical generator. A propulsion system having a propeller is coupled to the submersible engine to produce a swimmer propulsion machine and a generator is attached to the engine to produce an electrical generator. The submersible engine receives air from a snorkel that extends up above a water line. The aquatic device has a fuel reservoir which may receive liquid fuel or may receive a fuel cylinder. Floatation chambers keep the aquatic device afloat with the engine submerged. The exhaust assembly and exhaust ports from the engine may also be submerged and the exhaust ports may provide additional thrust. A propulsion system housing integrates the drive shaft and propeller, clutch coupler, exhaust conduits and water flow conduits and is detachably attachable to the engine.

The VEHICLE WITH TRAVELING WAVE THRUST MODULE APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS include force or forces applied to an arc-like flexible sheet-like material to create a deformed crenated strip fin with strained-deformations. The strained-deformations take on a sinusoid-like form that express the internal energy state of the flexible sheet-like material after it has been configured into a crenated strip fin. After being incorporated into a mechanism with couplings that prevent the crenated strip fin from returning to its un-strained state, the strained-deformations persist. Actuators may be used to sequentially rotate vertebrae attached to the fins causing the travel of sinusoid-like deformations along the fins. The fin, fin actuator or actuators, power source and central controller may be incorporated into a thrust module. Two thrust modules coupled to a central body via roll actuators and flexible coupling members may form a vehicle with exceptional maneuverability.
