Amphibious Vehicles TRIZ Cases

A unified wheel-driven transmission rotates both bottom and water-surface brushes, reducing pool robot complexity and cost.

A submersible vehicle transports and deploys hydroelectric turbines underwater, cutting vessel costs, improving safety, and lowering LCOE.

Detachable inflatable floats let a vehicle trailer cross water, then pack down for compact storage and multi-purpose land use.

Independent linear and rotational actuators help vehicle suspensions maintain near-constant force and greater wheel travel on uneven terrain.

A waterproof brake box with a reinforced double seal keeps ATV brake parts dry while allowing axle height adjustment and easier maintenance.

Independent fans and three radiators cool engine and hydraulic circuits while limiting water intrusion in amphibious tracked vehicles.

A watertight electric powertrain combines tracks, thrusters, and switchable air-water cooling for land, surface, and subsea travel.

A retractable cycloidal propeller replaces separate land and water drives, cutting vehicle weight and complexity while enabling underwater thrust vectoring.

Retractable wings let an amphibious hovercraft switch to ground-effect flight while easing docking, traffic access, and obstacle clearance.

Rotating walls and actuated pistons expand a mobile trailer into a larger exercise area with faster setup and flexible equipment mounting.

A spaced transmission and rear prime mover use drive shafts to improve amphibian packaging, weight distribution, and land-water power delivery.

An outdrive, propeller, and self-positioning wheel well flaps cut drag so an amphibious vehicle can plane with less horsepower and standard parts.

Interchangeable runners, surface-specific braking, and removable jet propulsion let one sled operate with control on water, ice, or snow.

Rotatable walls and actuable pistons turn a mobile trailer into a larger obstacle course with faster setup and flexible use on varied surfaces.

Adjustable propellers replace wear-prone pumps and nozzles to improve deep lagoon agitation, steering, and maintenance reliability.

Rotating star wheels or scanning balls probe submerged road topography to reveal hidden obstacles and water depth for safer flood driving.

Propellers, wheels, and sonar-laser imaging let one robot inspect pipe interiors in dry, partial, and flooded conditions while locating debris and wall defects.

A curved modular belly armor kit deflects underbody blasts while enclosed cavities add buoyancy for amphibious vehicle missions.

By varying left and right drive shaft speeds with an electric steering motor, this transmission cuts skid-steer energy waste and smooths turns.

Sequentially actuated crenated fins create traveling waves for fluid thrust and energy harvesting, improving vehicle maneuverability.

Adjustable buoyancy lets an underwater dredging robot travel on muddy basin beds and remove sediment without draining water or stopping power generation.

Deployable lateral floaters widen an amphibious vehicle on water for buoyant stability, then retract to meet road width limits.

A hydraulic linkage and suspension layout retracts amphibian wheels for lower water drag while preserving ground clearance and off-road suspension.
