Introduction • Design Concept • Hull • Transmission • Propulsion – Propeller • Propulsion – Non Propeller • Safety • Control • Ergonomics • Buoyancy
Design Concept Dual propulsion Evolution from Seabomb Advantages: Reduced friction Improved visibility Stroke length increased Reduced inertial losses Disadvantages: Increased complexity Increased cost
Hull Revolved NACA 0012
Transmission Bevel Gearbox Scotch yoke sprocket Chain between gearbox and Scotch Yoke Linear Bearings Bicycle pedals and chain drive Aerofoil support rails • Dual output • Double scotch yoke
Propulsion - Propeller Design point of 5.0knts Speed estimated with different propellers Probable 4.5knts maximum speed Final propeller provided by Duncan Propellers Ltd. [Picture of propeller]
