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.
Schneider Electric, with 113,900 employees and operations in 102 countries, had 2008 annual sales of $26 billion (EUR 18.3 billion). In 2011, APC by Schneider Electric became a product brand only, while the company was rebranded as the IT Business Unit of Schneider Electric.
These relied entirely on lead-acid batteries for electric current to power their propellers. Elco (the Electric Launch Company) evolved into the industry leader, later expanding into other forms of vessel, including the iconic World War II PT boat. In the early part of the 20th century electric propulsion was adapted to use in submarines. As ...
Rim–driven thruster, presented at SMM 2010 A rim-driven thruster mounted on a swing-out unit (design by silentdynamics GmbH) Voith rim thruster at SMM 2010 in Hamburg. The rim-driven thruster, also known as rim-driven propulsor/propeller (or RDP) is a novel type of electric propulsion unit for ships.
Replacement of the TPz Fuchs 1 APC: The main role of the successor would be an Armoured Personnel Carrier. The competitors are the Patria 6×6 , the Pandur Evo 6×6 and the TPz Fuchs 2. [ 20 ] Although the German government signed an agreement to develop in common the Common Armored Vehicle System" (CAVS) , the Patria 6×6 , the replacement of ...
[clarification needed] The choice between using thrusters or traditional propellers to propel marine vessels is a compromise between versatility and efficiency. Propellers are designed to work in-line with a propulsion plant and produce one-directional thrust while thrusters are more customizable and have a more versatile application.
