The present invention is an amphibious all-terrain vehicle. This amphibious all-terrain vehicle includes a boat-shaped hull and a continuous track system that is configured to provide propulsion at multiple speeds while in water. The amphibious all-terrain vehicle includes a drive train, a suspension system having one or more tracks, an operator's station, and one or more handle bars as a steering system.

Disclosed herein is a detachable cab apparatus for an amphibious vehicle. The detachable cab comprises an enclosure to house the operator, an independent flotation system and a detachment apparatus configured for detachment of the cab from the amphibious vehicle. Additional safety features to avoid injury, or sustain life, of the operator in the detached cab are also provided.

The amphibious unmanned patrol vehicle includes a buoy, a waterproof cable and a submersible amphibious vehicle. An end of the waterproof cable is connected to a first controller of the buoy; and another end thereof is connected to a second controller of the submersible amphibious vehicle. A bottom end of the buoy is connected to a top end of the submersible amphibious vehicle which is configured to realize movement and operation of a whole system. The waterproof cable is configured to connect the submersible amphibious vehicle, and the buoy configured to ensure real-time communication between the submersible amphibious vehicle and an external environment during operation of the submersible amphibious vehicle. A height difference between an upper surface and a lower surface of the automatic reeling and unreeling cable device is equal to a thickness of the waterproof cable. The length of the waterproof cable is adjusted automatically in real time.

The invention relates to an aircraft for takeoff and landing on water or on land. The aircraft comprises a fuselage and a spring-mounted landing gear. Landing gear wheels are mountable on the landing gear for takeoff and landing on land. Furthermore, the aircraft comprises a floating device coupleable to the landing gear of the aircraft via a connecting device. The floating device is configured such that the hydrostatic lifting force of the floating device is greater than the maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft.

Various embodiments of an amphibious submersible vehicle for use in non-destructive testing of pipe interiors and walls are disclosed herein. In one aspect, the vehicle is operable for amphibious submersible operation such that pipes of various diameters can be inspected under full, partially full, and dry conditions. In another aspect, the vehicle is equipped with a plurality of propellers for travel when fully or partially submerged in water and a plurality of wheels for traveling when in contact with a pipe wall or for traveling over debris. In some embodiments, the vehicle is equipped with a plurality of sensors configured for imaging and navigation which enable the vehicle for pipe inspection and identification of problem areas.

An amphibious vehicle has a floatable vehicle body; ground engaging propulsion structure having a plurality of ground engaging elements; a fluid pump for pumping liquid manure; a power source configured to provide power to both the ground engaging propulsion structure and the fluid pump; and, remote control structure for controlling the ground engaging propulsion structure and a flow of fluid from the fluid pump. The speed and/or direction of the vehicle is remotely controllable by an operator remote from the vehicle when the vehicle is ground engaging and when the vehicle is floating.

A lightweight vehicle useful for harassing wildlife/waterfowl includes an elongated body/fuselage with a motor-powered propeller in the front and a vertical tail with a controllable rudder in the rear. The vehicle is able to travel over land or water on a pair of elongated floats having a ski-type shape that support the vehicle. The vehicle is made of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber so that it can travel over water, ice, snow, and mown grass without damaging the grass. The vehicle may be remotely controlled or autonomous.

A human-powered wheelchair for use on land and in water that comprises flotation and propulsion means. The wheelchair can be propelled by the operator on land in a manner similar to a typical wheelchair. The wheelchair can be propelled in the water by propellers that are mechanically and rotationally coupled to the side wheels of the wheelchair.

A vehicle flotation assembly includes a plurality of bladders that is each coupled to a bottom side of a vehicle. Each of the bladders is inflatable to float the vehicle when the vehicle is exposed to flood waters. A water senor is coupled to the vehicle to sense flood waters rising beneath the vehicle. A pump is coupled to the vehicle and the pump inflates each of the bladders when the pump is turned on, and the pump is turned on when the water sensor senses flood waters. A plurality of anchor actuators is each of the anchor actuators is coupled to the bottom side of the vehicle. A plurality of anchors is each lowered from the respective anchor actuator when the respective anchor actuator is actuated into a lowering condition thereby inhibiting the vehicle from being floated away by the flood waters.
