ABB provided an azimuth thruster for ShinNihonkai Ferries in form of the CRP Azipod, [2] claiming efficiency gains from the propeller (about 10% increase [3]) and a simpler hull design. Volvo Penta have launched the IPS (Inboard Performance System), [4] an integrated diesel, transmission and pulling contra-rotating propellers for motor yachts.
A Pennsylvania man fishing in Key West was killed Sunday after he fell off a boat and was struck by the engine’s propeller, police said. Timothy Adam Christianson, 35, was standing on the stern ...
“A pontoon boat she was bow riding on, with her feet in the water, hit a wave,” the sheriff’s office said. “The motion pulled her into the water and under the boat, where she was struck by ...
A Florida sheriff’s deputy owes his life to a group of good Samaritans, who rushed to help when he was thrown into the blades of his boat’s spinning propeller, according to investigators.
A circle of death can be initiated if the boat operator releases the steering mechanism while the boat is still powered, which means the propeller is still turning. The force of the rotating propeller blades incurs a force known as steering torque , causing the motor itself, which is mounted on a swivel jointed mechanism, to turn sharply into ...
Replica of a propeller from the USS Monitor. Since the introduction of the marine propeller in the early 19th century, cavitation during operation has been a limiting factor in the efficiency of ships. Cavitation in marine propellers develops when the propeller operates at a high speed and reduces the efficiency of the propeller.
A woman has shared her dramatic recovery process after her bottom was “chopped off” in a boat accident. Kenzey Hunt, 20, is sharing her recovery process on TikTok after she was injured by a ...
A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. It is used to improve the efficiency of the propeller and is especially used on heavily loaded propellers or propellers with limited diameter. It was developed first by Luigi Stipa (1931) and later by Ludwig Kort (1934). The Kort nozzle is ...
