Abstract

This work presents the theoretical and experimental study of a new propulsion system based on a rotary movement that applied to a specific case is rendering hopeful results.
We consider our research to be of some application in the naval industry. Our presentation is based on the experiments and tests carried out with a scale model boat in which have been installed three scale model prototypes of our propulsion system working synchronously. The obtained results show that the amount of gained impulse is considerable and to be kept in mind. Following tests and experiments showed also an improvement in the manoeuvrability of the ship. In this work we present the ship model and the theoretical and practical research carried out.
