Stern drive motor or out board motor that can rotate 360 degrees and still go vertical or horizontal or both at the same time at any given time
Abstract
The out board motor and stern drive motor have been around for over 100 years using the same concept, the only change has been in the performance and the physical design, (there still very limited in use). Just by the very simple rotation 360 degrees and flexibility movements horizontal or vertical of the out board motor or stern drive motor, the operator will no longer get caught with in its own wake when turning sharp and the operator now can have a much safer ride and a more exciting ride, docking your boat will be ever so easily since the out board motor or stern drive motor can now rotate 360 degrees so your turning radius is no long a factor because you can turn 360 degrees safely at any given time, and with the built in safety censors you also have the advance protection to prevent accidents.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 ) This is the first kind ever, fully rotating 360 degrees stern drive motor or out board motor propulsion drive and steering system with vertical and horizontal lift on any angel with out any inconveniences, that your able to control using the steering wheel or a joy stick. You're also able to maneuver in very tight docking spaces just as convenient as a twin drive system.
2 ) Their are automatic censors that are mounted with in the stern drive motor and the out board motor that react when they sense danger at any time automatically This is accomplish by a computer chip that can identify millions of objects hundreds of feet away in less then a split second. This will determine if the object is dangerous to the boat, stern drive motor or the out board motor and to take the proper precautions so there is no or little damage or no one harmed in the event of an accident. This system will give the boat operator the much needed time to make a correct decision, because they are warned well in advance of any possible danger.
3 ) There's safety automatic censor circuits built right in to help prevent accidents. There's a warning light, buzzer or horn, on the dash board where the operators sits and there's a light and or a buzzer or a horn at the bow, stern, port and starboard section of the boat, and the stern drive units or the out board motors as well, that has a warning light out side the boat, that clearly tells the occupants in the boat and in the water, as a water skier, water tuber or just a swimmer would need to know if the boats motor is running and the propeller blades are moving or not, this along safety system will save thousands of lives and injuries alone, and yet the cost will be minimal, to in stall at the factory or just a little more a on existing boats, also the special computer chip will not be affected or fooled by the boats motor, warmth of the body heat, sunlight, darkness of the clouds weather, water movement, and any thing else. This computer chip as stated in claim 1 , can identify millions of objects in less then a split second to determine if the object will harm the stern drive motor or the out board motor and if so what kind of possible damage this object may cause, or will harm be brought to a human or some other living things.
4 ) In the event that the stern drive motor propulsion drive steering system or the out board motor propulsion drive steering system, is involved in an accident, the safety system will be alerted in less then a split second, just be for the impact, the propeller blades that are on the stern drive motor unit or the out board motor unit will stop right away and so will the motor, and at the same time the stern drive unit or the out board unit will lift out of the water as the boat will continue to travel, so there wont be any damage to the propeller blades or any part on the drive units them selves, and no sunned stopping, that in it self could cause harm to any one that is in the boat, they could be thrown about with in the boat or be thrown over board and in to the water, and if the object was a human or a manatees or something else they would less likely to be harmed or killed, simply because of the many built in safety features that will prevent accidents and damage before it happens.
5 ) There's a permanent wing, with small fins on the end of the wing, that help plain faster and easer. These wings have flexibility and movement, they are also able to change there pitch. Furthermore the design and the area of the wing or wings and fins are so much different in size, style, shape and performance, there is no comparison what so ever, this automatic system will simply help and get the boat up much easer and faster on top of the water, automatically sensing the boats weight, speed, and wind conditions, for a much smoother ride and a more fuel efficient ride as well as a safer ride.
6 ) The use of the wing or the wings on the rotating stern drive motor proposition steering system or the out board motor drive motor proposition steering system not only with this specially design, help the boat get up and stay on plain faster, but will also get the boat above the water and just float through the air, just above the water with only the stern drive motor proposition drive steering system or the out board motor proposition drive steering system in the water, and the wing as well as the fins are keeping the boat above the water, at a lower speed. this will also help the boater avoid rough waters and the constant bouncing around on top of the water. They can stay above the water as long as the operator wants to, for a very smooth and enjoyable ride, and when the operator wants to go back down to the water, all they would have to do is to slow down and just glide back down on to the surface of the water.
7 ) The advantages to change the pre existing out dated, stern drive motor drive systems, and the out board motor drive systems, would improve the performance many times over, and the fun, or safety of the occupants would for ever be change for life, they would no longer go back to the old out dated power drive and steering systems ever again. The stern drive systems and out board motor systems as we know them now, are going the way of the dinosaur.
8 ) There's a universal adaptor you can put on and in stall between the existing upper unit and lower unit, this adaptor will make your stern drive motor or out board motor rotate 360 degrees, and is easy to installed and connect to the existing power supply and hydraulics unit, the rotating plate seal adaptor that will rotate 360 degrees will easily fit between the upper and lower unit. This will also allow the unit to go vertical or horizontal.
9 ) This new steering system, wing system and power drive system will also give the operator more control, freedom and fun like they have never had before, furthermore because of the special design, the performance will be better and the fuel consumption will be less.
10 ) by using
this turning system the driver can make much sharper turns then ever before because the stern drive motor proposition steering system unit and propeller blades are never in danger of going out of the water or cavitations out of water. The out board steering motor proposition steering system unit and propeller blades system unit is now turning at an angle, so the boat and the stern drive motor proposition steering system unit or the out board motor proposition steering system unit is now turning together as one unit, on the turning angle, and by doing this, your not loosing any of the water between the propeller blades. With out this steering system, the boat and the stern drive motor propulsion system or out board motor propulsion is completely in line when turning and then what happens, on and sharp or hard turns the propeller blades start to cavitations in the water, and you will now loose all your steering and speed, even throw the motor is still running high.
11 ) The wing or the wings that are on the rotating stern drive motor steering system, or the out board motor steering system along with the fin or fins at the end of the wings that are movable and flexible, this system has an automatic controlled censors or controlled from the operators station, manually, the choice is up to the operator, will help the boat or other vessel get up on plain a lot faster, and if the operator wants to, they can also get air born and fly above the rough water or choppy water for a smooth and more thrilling ride for as long as they want the feeling of true flight and excitement.
12 ) The operator has much more control using the angel steering system, so there is less likely to become in an accident because of the added control.
13 ) The stern drive motor or the out board motor, upper unit and lower unit can extended or contract automatically as the water level may become shallow or deep or if there is an object in the water. The censors will automatically pick up danger and tell the lower unit to go up in to the upper unit, until the danger has pasted and the operator has one less thing to worry about. This safety system is always completely automatic and the drive shaft axels will go up and down automatically, as the upper unit drive axel shaft will go in to the lower drive shaft axel automatically at the same time as the two units moves up or down together the two work at the same time.
14 ) The advantages of the upper unit and the lower unit to contract or extended automatically with theses specials built in automatic safety censors and vertical pistons will help the out side horizontal pistons and increase the safety as the stern drive unit or out board unit will be able to protect its self at all times and conditions, and this will make boating a lot safer for the operator.
15 ) Another advantage of the upper and lower units that they can bend, at the same time the operator would turn, this would keep at all time the propeller blade in the water as the turning radius would follow the turn, and there wouldn't be any water cavitations or loss of steering or speed because the propeller blade will all ways be in the water.
16 ) On the rear of the stern drive motor lower unit or the out board motor lower unit, there is a vertical and a horizontal guard, that also helps to support the main wing. Further more there are censors build right in to the vertical and horizontal guards In case there is an impact against the guard. If that happens, the censors will stop the propeller blade and the motor to help prevent damage to the lower unit or the entire drive system, and also this will help prevent harm to humans, manatees, whales or other living things.
17 ) The sensors unit computer chips can be in stalled by a simple boot attachment or some other simple attachment, on to existing stern drive motor units or the out board motor units as well. Furthermore this simple device can also be installed on fix horizontal propeller drive shafts but not limited to, any one in the marine field would easily see and understand clearly how effective this system is.
18 ) This is the only protective automatic safety system that you will be able to be installed on pre-existing stern drive motors, out board motors, or fix drive systems, that will increase there use fullness and be more effective then there pre existing systems, that are very limited at best, and when looking at there designs over the years, there really hasn't been to much of a change especially in safety. This will also help the boater in being more safe, and be able to detect danger, this computer chip that can recognized millions of different objects in less then a split second, and will take evasive actions it self automatically this will give the boat operator, hundreds of feet in advance notice to take the proper actions to avoid an accident, and in boating time that is a lot of advance warning for any boater any where going full speed ahead, just on top of the water, if not just skimming or flying on top of the water it self, automatically as the safety censors will be one more of a safety factor for the boater and passengers, they will come to appreciate more, as this system is in more use, and easy to use, the boating insurance company's will recognized just how much this simple device is saving in claims alone, and later will lower any boat that has this automatic safety device in stalled, and some day will be required on all new boats being built, just as air bag have been required to be installed on all cars thought the world.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
