  2. Voith Schneider Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voith_Schneider_Propeller

    Voith Schneider Propeller. The Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) is a specialized marine propulsion system (MPS) manufactured by the Voith Group based on a cyclorotor design. It is highly maneuverable, being able to change the direction of its thrust almost instantaneously. It is widely used on tugs and ferries.

  3. Cyclorotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclorotor

    A cyclorotor, cycloidal rotor, cycloidal propeller or cyclogiro, is a fluid propulsion device that converts shaft power into the acceleration of a fluid using a rotating axis perpendicular to the direction of fluid motion. It uses several blades with a spanwise axis parallel to the axis of rotation and perpendicular to the direction of fluid ...

    Voith‐Schneider propeller. The Voith Schneider Propeller, also known as a cycloidal drive is a specialized marine propulsion system. It is highly maneuverable, being able to change the direction of its thrust almost instantaneously. It is widely used on tugs and ferries.

  5. ORP Albatros - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORP_Albatros

    The ship's propulsion is transmitted via shafts to two Voith-Schneider Voith Turbo 21 GH / 160 cycloidal propellers. In order to increase the maneuverability of the unit and at the same time increase the ship's safety level, ORP "Albatros" was also equipped with a Schottel STT 170 AMAG bow thruster with a power of 100 kW. Such a configured ...

  6. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    Marine propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a watercraft through water. While paddles and sails are still used on some smaller boats , most modern ships are propelled by mechanical systems consisting of an electric motor or internal combustion engine driving a propeller , or less frequently, in pump-jets , an ...
