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 toroidal propeller is a type of propeller that is ring-shaped with each blade forming a closed loop. The propellers are significantly quieter at audible frequency ranges, between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, while generating comparable thrust to traditional propellers. In practice, toroidal propellers reduce noise pollution in both aviation and maritime ...
Powerfin produces carbon fiber two, three, four and five-bladed propellers for two-stroke and four-stroke engines up to the Rotax 914 of 115 hp (86 kW). [2] [4] [5] [6]The company is noted for its use of the Clark Y airfoil, infinite blade angle adjustment, as well as for the very low rotating inertia of its designs, a key wear factor on lightweight engine gearboxes.
Cavitating propeller in water tunnel experiment Cavitation damage evident on the propeller of a personal watercraft Bronze propeller & anti-cavitation plate, & Schilling rudder (on a river barge) Cavitation is the formation of vapor bubbles in water near a moving propeller blade in regions of very low pressure. It can occur if an attempt is ...
Zdarsky started the company after carving his own propeller for a homebuilt ultralight trike that he flew from Cold War Czechoslovakia, over the Iron Curtain to Vienna in 1984. Ivoprop has sold more than 20,000 propellers since then. [1] [2] The company's propellers are built from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer and feature a stainless steel ...
Advantages of the sterndrive system versus inboards include simpler engineering for boatbuilders, eliminating the need for them to design propshaft and rudder systems; ease of trailering and shallow water maneuvering (with the drive trimmed up); also, a significant space savings with the engine mounted all the way aft, freeing up the boat's ...
