ROBOT FOR MANEUVERING THROUGH A VISCOUS MIXTURE
Various aspects include a robot and method of using the robot, which includes a chassis and a forward propulsion auger. The chassis may include a forward section a rear section; and a maneuvering gimbal. The forward propulsion auger may be positioned on a leading end of the forward section and coupled to a first drive motor. The forward propulsion auger may include at least one fluid nozzle configured to eject a fluid therefrom.

Spiral drive mechanism, particularly for mechanical vehicles, land and marine machines
Spiral drive mechanism, particularly for mechanical vehicles, land and water machines, comprises of deformable spiral (1) of spindle shape, on one side resting on a rocker arm (2) with bearing, attached to the vehicle through a moving joint, through an axle (3) that moves the front part of the spiral in vertical, longitudinal and transverse axis. On the other side, it rests on a pendulum-moving driving axle of the vehicle (4), propelling rotating motion of the spiral and thus causing movement of the vehicle.

Hand-Held Underwater Aircraft
A handheld underwater aircraft includes a battery compartment (12) and propellers. There are at least two propellers, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the battery compartment (12), and are connected to the battery compartment (12). A special design with axes of the propellers being unparallel with an axis of the battery compartment (12) is adopted, and unparallel included angles make component forces generated by the various propellers in a direction of motion of a non-underwater aircraft offset each other, and enable the underwater aircraft to maintain balanced and forward-forward motion. The design with the axes of the propellers being unparallel with the axis of the battery compartment (12) leads to a little power loss, but avoids a larger power loss caused by the impact of water on the human body, thereby comprehensively improving the thrust of the underwater aircraft in use.

Boat with Foot Pedal Operated Braking System
A boat comprising a hull, a steering wheel, an engine power system comprising a first foot pedal that is operated by a user's foot to control the boat's speed through water, and a braking system comprising a second foot pedal that is depressed by the user's foot to slow or stop the boat.
Self Trailered Boat
A towable boat comprising a hull, a front wheel movable between an extended position and a retracted boating position, two rear wheels, each of which is movable between an extended towing position and a retracted boating position, and a trailer tongue movable between an extended towing position and a retracted boating position.

Robotic fish with multiple torque reaction engines
A robotic fish comprises one or more torque reaction engines and a fish body, wherein the torque reaction engine cyclically oscillates and causes a wave to propagate across the fish body, including through a flexible wing, accelerating thrust fluid and propelling the robotic fish.
