  2. Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller

    [12] The brass propeller, like all the brass and moving parts on Turtle, was crafted by Issac Doolittle of New Haven. [13] In 1785, Joseph Bramah of England proposed a propeller solution of a rod going through the underwater aft of a boat attached to a bladed propeller, though he never built it. [14]

  3. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

    Basic parts of an outboard motor. An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft.

  4. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    The water caterpillar boat propulsion system (Popular Science Monthly, December 1918) An early uncommon means of boat propulsion was the water caterpillar. This moved a series of paddles on chains along the bottom of the boat to propel it over the water and preceded the development of tracked vehicles. [34]

  5. Modular propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_propeller

    Unlike a standard one-piece boat or aircraft propeller, a modular propeller is made up of using a number of replaceable parts, typically: a set of matched blades; a propeller hub; and; an end cap to retain the blades and to secure the propeller as a solid unit. Ground-adjustable Arplast modular propeller on ARV Super2

  6. Ducted propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_propeller

    A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. It is used to improve the efficiency of the propeller and is especially used on heavily loaded propellers or propellers with limited diameter. It was developed first by Luigi Stipa (1931) and later by Ludwig Kort (1934). The Kort nozzle is ...

  7. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    Lightly loaded propellers for light aircraft and human-powered boats mostly have two blades, motor boats mostly have three blades. The blades are attached to a boss (hub), and while it can be a big boss, it should be as small as the needs of strength allow – with fixed-pitch propellers the blades and boss are usually a single casting.
