A turbine system that harnesses energy from natural atmospheric wind and water currents for power generation and storage in a power storage mode, and in a reverse switched operation, sources current to the turbine system from storage power to function in a propulsion mode to propel an associated structure (e.g., boat, aircraft).

A method and system for providing a watercraft device are disclosed. The watercraft device comprises a board, a throttle coupled to a top surface of the board, a hydrofoil coupled to a bottom surface of the board, and an electric propeller system coupled to the hydrofoil. The electric propeller system powers the watercraft device using information generated from the throttle. A center of buoyancy in a non-foiling mode of the watercraft device and a center of lift in a foiling mode of the watercraft device are aligned.

Provided is a propeller for a submersible, comprising a housing (1) having a cylindrical structure with two open ends, a stator sleeve (2) having a cylindrical structure with one open end, the stator sleeve suspended in an internal cavity of the housing (1), a motor stator (3) fixed inside the stator sleeve (2), a rotor sleeve (4) having a cylindrical structure with one open end and disposed on the stator sleeve (2), a motor rotor (5) fixed to an inner wall of the rotor sleeve (4), and a propeller (6) fixed to an outer wall of the rotor sleeve (4). The propeller (6) of the underwater propeller is directly fixed to the rotor sleeve (4) so that the structure of the motor is compact, and the rotational shaft transmission is not required so that the length of the propeller is shortened and the volume is reduced.

The present disclosure relates to a boat drive for driving a boat, comprising a drive unit comprising an electric motor and a mounting connected to the drive unit for connecting the boat drive to the boat, wherein the mounting is provided for distancing the drive unit from a hull of the boat, wherein a decoupling arrangement for decoupling of oscillations (S) generated in the drive unit is arranged between the drive unit and the mounting.

A hydrofoiling watercraft is disclosed that includes a board having a top surface for supporting a user and a bottom surface. Extending from the top surface of the board is a handlebar. Extending from the bottom surface of the board is a hydrofoil including a strut and a hydrofoil wing. A propulsion system is attached to the hydrofoil.

A modular, weight-shift controlled watercraft device is disclosed which includes: a modular board removably attachable to a power system. The power system includes a modular power supply system, and a modular propulsion system. The power supply system includes a housing including a battery. The propulsion system includes a modular strut, a modular propulsion pod, and a modular hydrofoil. In one embodiment, the power supply system is removably and mechanically attachable directly to the propulsion system.

A boat drive for a boat having a boat hull with a bottom. The boat drive includes an underwater pod; an electric motor disposed in the underwater pod, the electric motor driving, via a drive shaft, a propeller attached to the underwater pod; and an electrical supply line for supplying energy to the electric motor. The boat drive further includes an inner tube connected to the underwater pod and displaceably disposed in an outer tube, wherein the electrical supply line is routed through the inner tube. The boat drive further includes a mounting body attachable to the bottom of the boat hull, wherein the outer tube is passed through the mounting body. At least one annular sealing element is disposed between the inner and outer tubes, wherein the at least one annular sealing element seals the inner tube and the outer tube in a radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the inner tube.

A propulsion device for a ship capable of preventing idling of a propeller without any limitation on the type of clutch. The propulsion device includes: a forward and reverse switching clutch for transmitting the driving power from an input shaft to a forward gear or a reverse gear; a forward one-way clutch, disposed between the input shaft and the forward gear, for connecting the forward gear and the input shaft when the forward gear is rotated at a higher speed than that of the input shaft; and a reverse one-way clutch, disposed between the input shaft and the reverse gear, for connecting the reverse gear and the input shaft when the reverse gear is rotated at a higher speed than that of the input shaft.

An aquatic vessel basically includes a floating body, a submersible propulsion unit and a communication device. The floating body has an above water level surface and a below water level surface. The submersible propulsion unit is disposed on the floating body beneath the below water level surface of the floating body. The communication device is disposed on the floating body above the above water level surface of the floating body.
