This patent covers an electric propulsion system that uses two synchronized linear motors to power hydrofoils on boats. The hydrofoils pump up and down to lift the boat out of the water and push it forward, similar to how dolphins swim. This reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency compared to traditional propeller-driven boats.
This patent describes an innovative linear drive system using electric linear motors coupled with sophisticated linkage mechanisms to create repetitive linear motion without traditional bearings or bushings. The system features dual coupled drive rods that move in opposite directions at equal velocities, creating a balanced propulsion mechanism. The technology is specifically adapted for powering pumping hydrofoils that provide both lift and forward propulsion for boats and ships. The commercial applications extend beyond marine propulsion to include various transportation and industrial drive systems. The dual pumping hydrofoil configuration allows boats to achieve greater efficiency by lifting the hull out of the water while simultaneously providing forward thrust through coordinated hydrofoil pumping action. This technology offers significant advantages in fuel efficiency, reduced drag, and improved performance for high-speed watercraft, making it valuable for recreational boating, commercial marine vessels, and specialized watercraft applications.
