Dovetail slots defined by wedge retaining members restrict radial movement of composite propeller blades, reducing drive system stress.
Chambering elements create localized high-pressure zones at leading edges, directing cooling gas through gaps to reduce excessive air consumption.
A shaftless axial-flux underwater propelling device uses a hydraulic film to lubricate the rotor and transmit thrust without mechanical contact.
Forward-extending bracket resolves angled transom space conflicts by positioning the thruster for proper water flow and night operation visibility.
Rotatable lower drive unit repositions propellers via control signals to prevent injury during swim operations and reduce damage risk in shallow waters.
Vertical guide device allows electric thruster to emerge or submerge, enabling hybrid propulsion without structural boat modifications.
Flanking rudders forward of the propeller counteract rotational pull in reverse, reducing the minimum turning radius for planing hull boats.
