Independent rotor and arm vectoring decouples payload orientation from trajectory, improving agility, disturbance response, and stability.
Reciprocating stoppers and a buoyant plate coordinate reversing in a pool cleaner, preventing spin-in-place and improving cleaning coverage.
A marine propulsor uses a slewing bearing with an integrated single-stage transmission gear to drive rotary blades.
Spiral winglets define variable volume channels that direct fluid rearward, minimizing centrifugal loss and preventing cavitation during high-speed rotation.
Compressed air evacuates water from rotor vanes to improve efficiency while eliminating combustion emissions in coastal zones.
Independent electric motors replace mechanical gearboxes to control blade orientation, reducing drag and vibration at high speeds.
Dynamic pitch angle profiles manage peak motor torque while boosting bollard pull thrust by 33%.
Symmetrical paddle wheels flap the water surface to generate forward and upward forces, reducing drag and improving stability at high speeds.
Longitudinal propulsion positioning uses hydrodynamic resistance to correct heading control without increasing engine thrust.
Variable pitch blades adjust thrust without altering diesel engine speed, reducing fuel consumption and mechanical wear during ship maneuvering.
