A Mark 46 Mod 5A torpedo is inspected aboard a destroyer in April 2005. Contra-rotating propellers have benefits when providing thrust in marine applications. Contra-rotating propellers are used on torpedoes due to the natural torque compensation and are also used in some motor boats.

An 11-year-old girl was horrifically killed in a Florida lake when she was thrown from a boat and then struck by its propeller, officials said.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
