Channel Propeller Blades With Cyclic Motion to Cut Energy Loss

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from purely rotational blade motion to a cyclic trajectory motion where blades move through a combination of rotation and translation. The kinetic interaction system moves blades along a cyclic path that includes both rotational and translational components, allowing blades to alternately engage and disengage from the fluid flow. This dynamic motion pattern reduces energy losses by minimizing parasitic rotational drag while maintaining effective propulsion through controlled blade engagement with the water.

The patent implements periodic action through the cyclic trajectory of the blades, which repeatedly alternate between active engagement phases and idle disengagement phases. During each cycle, blades perform a series of controlled movements including approaching the fluid flow, interacting propulsively, and then withdrawing. This periodic pattern allows the system to optimize kinetic interaction by timing blade engagement to coincide with favorable flow conditions while minimizing energy-wasting rotational motion during less effective phases.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the continuous rotational motion into distinct phases within a cyclic trajectory. The blade motion is segmented into multiple discrete movements including approach, engagement, propulsion, and withdrawal phases. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently - engagement phases maximize kinetic interaction efficacy while withdrawal phases minimize energy loss by reducing parasitic drag. The cyclic trajectory effectively breaks down continuous rotation into manageable operational segments.

The patent maintains continuity of useful action through the cyclic trajectory system where blades continuously alternate between active and idle orientations. While individual blades may be in idle phases, other blades in the system are actively engaging the fluid flow, ensuring continuous propulsion. The cyclic motion ensures that the transition between active and idle states is smooth and continuous, preventing interruptions in the useful propulsive action while allowing individual blades to minimize energy losses during their idle periods.
