Benefits of technology

[0009]The invention comprises a vehicle with a fully internal propulsion and steering system, utilizing a multidirectional (3D) thrust vectoring mechanism for attitude control. The vehicle is highly maneuverable, even at high speeds, and the smooth hull and lack of exposed hardware provides for safe operation around sea animals.

Problems solved by technology

Such vehicles pose danger to surrounding marine wildlife due to exposed hardware and are often slow maneuvering.
Marine vehicles utilizing internal propulsion do not offer three dimensional (3D) thrust vectoring, and the 3D thrust vectoring systems used on jet airplanes have a very complex mechanical structure, are expensive, and difficult to assemble.
These factors make them not practical for use on submersible vessels.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a submersible vehicle in accordance with the invention having a transparent hull so as to illustrate the internal components. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 showing the multidirectional thrust vectoring mechanism. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 showing the multidirectional thrust vectoring mechanism in a first position, specifically, in the neutral position. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the invention as shown in FIG. 1 showing the multidirectional thrust vectoring mechanism in a second position, specifically, a position causing the vehicle to turn from the z-axis.

[0018]Referring now to FIG. 1, an illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown. The invention comprises a vehicle 10 with a fully internal propulsion and steering system, utilizing a multidirectional (3D) thrust vectoring mechanism for attitude control. The vehicle is highly maneuverable, even at high speeds, and the s...

Description

[0001]STATEMENT OF RELATED APPLICATIONS[0002]This patent application is based on and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 321,728 having a filing date of 7 Apr. 2010, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]1. Technical Field[0004]This invention is generally related to the field of submersible vehicles and more specifically related to the field of submersible vehicles having internal propulsion systems using thrust vectoring mechanisms for steering.[0005]2. Prior Art[0006]Most high speed submersible vehicles rely on external control surfaces for steering and exposed propeller blades for propulsion. Such vehicles pose danger to surrounding marine wildlife due to exposed hardware and are often slow maneuvering. Marine vehicles utilizing internal propulsion do not offer three dimensional (3D) thrust vectoring, and the 3D thrust vectoring systems used on jet airplanes have a very complex mechanical struc...
