The invention discloses an electromagnetic fluid surface vectored thruster and an
underwater device adopting the thruster. The electromagnetic fluid surface vectored thruster comprises excitation devices, surface electrodes, insulating non-magnetic-conductive bases,
electrode switches, wires and a power supply. The excitation devices and the surface electrodes are distributed on the surface of the electromagnetic fluid thruster in a two-dimensional array mode. The
magnetic field directions of the excitation devices are perpendicular to the surface of the thruster, and the
magnetic field directions of every two adjacent excitation devices are opposite. Each
surface electrode is arranged between every two corresponding excitation devices. Each
surface electrode is connected with the power supply through the corresponding switch. Each
electrode switch has three work statuses of being connected with a power supply positive pole, connected with a power supply negative pole and turned off, and each
electrode switch can only be in one of the three work statuses at the same moment. Each
surface electrode can work in one of the three work statuses of being disconnected from the power supply, connected with the power supply positive pole and connected with the power supply negative pole. Every two surface electrodes can work independently. The thruster has vectored thrust, can achieve thrust in any direction, and achieves actions of transverse movement, rolling around the axis and in-situ rotation accordingly, and the movement flexibility of the
underwater device is greatly improved.
