Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a propulsion system of a passenger so that the latter can move in the air or in a fluid with very great freedom of movement thanks to its agility and its physics.
  • the invention further provides that the system is very simple to implement and accessible to the greatest number.
  • a propulsion device as described in the sixties in the documents US 3,243,144 or US 3,381,917 has a body in the form of a harness or seat against which or in which a passenger may sit. Such a body cooperates with a thrust unit in the form in particular of a pair of nozzles for ejecting a fluid under pressure and thus generating a thrust force.
  • the nozzles are disposed above the center of gravity of the body-passenger, more precisely at the shoulders of the passenger.
  • the group further comprises a fluid compression station fed with flammable gases or liquids and positioned in the passenger's back. This station is able to deliver enough thrust to cause the takeoff of the passenger transformed in some way into a human rocket. Low autonomy coupled with dangerousness such devices have maintained these in a relative confidentiality.
  • the configuration of the nozzles located at above the center of gravity of the device gives the impression of the passenger to be suspended at the level of the shoulders by a virtual crane hook and thus deprived him of many sensations: falls, figures of improvised or acrobatic styles.
  • the variety of directions and movements is limited. It is not easy for example to move "crab" with a known device or even to instantly move from a straight path on the surface of the water to a diving phase followed by multiple displacements under the surface of the water.
  • the invention makes it possible to meet all the disadvantages raised by the known solutions.
  • the invention consists mainly in providing a device whose design breaks with the prior art.
  • a device comprises mainly a substantially flat platform on which takes place one or more passengers.
  • Takeoff and displacements are generated by a thrust force delivered by a set of at least three nozzles, two of which are free and intended to be held by one of the passengers, said nozzles being all arranged to be positioned below the center of gravity of the set "device-passenger (s)".
  • s device-passenger
  • the invention provides the possibility of using motorized watercraft (VNM) known as a remote compression station.
  • VNM motorized watercraft

  • said means for collecting and distributing may have an arm arranged to cooperate with one of the at least one main nozzle and deliver a fluid under pressure collected from the base while allowing free rotation about an axis substantially parallel thereto of said arm.
  • the latter may comprise means for ensuring the keeping the passenger on the upper face of the platform.
  • a device may include means for constraining the secondary nozzles at the forearm of the passenger.
  • a propulsion device may comprise means for controlling the fluid compression power of a compression station delivering the fluid under pressure.

  • the device may comprise means for controlling the fluid compression power of a compression station delivering the fluid under pressure.
  • the invention provides a propulsion system comprising a propulsion device according to the invention cooperating with a remote compression station.
  • a system according to the invention may comprise a supply duct for the station to deliver said fluid under pressure to said device via said supply duct.
  • a system according to the invention may comprise communication means for transmitting a command delivered from the means for controlling the device to means for regulating the compression power of a compression station thus adapted.
  • the figure 1 presents an embodiment of a propulsion device 10 according to the invention.
  • This comprises a main body in the form of a substantially flat platform 11.
  • This platform has an upper face 11a on which a Passenger 1 can take place.
  • the invention provides that several passengers can possibly take position simultaneously on the upper face 11a of said platform 11.
  • the platform can be advantageously made from a material or several materials presenting alone or in combination sufficient rigidity to support the weight of the passenger or passengers and thus prevent excessive deformation.

  • the platform may thus have one or more cavities filled with air or vacuum to improve buoyancy.
  • Such a platform may consist of one or more elements cooperating with each other or dissociated.
  • the propulsion device described in connection with the figure 1 has a thrust group cooperating with the platform 11.
  • nozzle to define a profiled pipe element, intended to impose a flow increase a speed fluid.
  • nozzle to characterize such an element. This increase in fluid velocity is mainly due to a difference of sections between the input and the output of the element - the section of the output being smaller than that of the input.
  • such a group consists of a pair of main nozzles 12a and 12b fixed against the lower face 11b of the platform 11.
  • a single main nozzle substantially fixed to the center of the lower face 11b of the platform could be preferred to the pair 12a, 12b. It is thus possible to increase the playfulness of the use of the device by a passenger.
  • the invention would not be limited to the number of main nozzles located under the lower face 11b of the platform 11.
  • the thrust unit thus comprises at least one main nozzle cooperating with said lower face.
  • Said at least one main nozzle 12a, 12b is fixed by any means to the platform without having a degree of freedom.
  • the orientation of any main nozzle advantageously follows an axis A preferably substantially perpendicular to the underside of the platform so that a main nozzle expels a fluid under pressure near the bottom face 11b from platform 11 to the distance of this one.
  • the thrust unit of a device according to the invention may further comprise two secondary nozzles 13a and 13b. These are free and intended to be respectively held by a passenger 1 at the forearms or hands.

  • the main and secondary thrusters of the thrust group of a device 10 are positioned below said center of gravity CG.
  • a passenger of such a device 10 has the task of positioning and orienting the secondary nozzles 13a and 13b with his hands and arms and the main nozzle or nozzles 12a and 12b by playing with the inclination of the platform via his feet, legs, pelvis, torso to control the propulsion device .
  • the agility of the passenger and his physical ease maximize the sensations provided and allow all movements, all trajectories and all desired acrobatic figures or fortuitous.
  • the device 10 further comprises means for collecting and delivering a fluid under pressure (eg water) to the main nozzles (s) and secondary.
  • a fluid under pressure eg water

  • a supply duct may be made from a fire hose or any other material having the necessary resistance to the pressure exerted by the fluid under pressure.
  • a supply duct of diameter substantially equal to 110 millimeters may advantageously be preferred. Too small or too large a diameter would cause a significant loss of thrust force with respect to the compression capacity of the compressor station.
  • a collector 14 may thus have a base 14c to which is connected a tip 2a of a supply duct 2 for example by means of a groove adapted to receive said duct 2.
  • the diameter of said base 14c will be adapted to the diameter of the tip 2a of the supply duct 2.
  • the manifold 14 may have a shape close to one of a "T" to collect from the base 14c and distribute via the arms 14a and 14b the pressurized fluid respectively to the main nozzles 12a and 12b.
  • the collector 14 can be connected rigidly to the main nozzles or via an optional connecting bend 15 in order to orient the main nozzles along an axis A substantially perpendicular to the lower face 11b of the platform 11.
  • the arms may alternatively be connected to said main nozzles - via the optional bend 15 - in a pivot connection at the arms 14a and 14b.
  • Such an arrangement allows a free rotation r1 along an axis F substantially parallel to the arms 14a and 14b of the collector 14.
  • said collector can describe an almost free rotation r1 about said axis F, modulo the stop that represents the lower face 11b of the platform 11 at an excessive inclination of the latter.
  • the invention provides that the tip 2a of the supply duct 2 can advantageously cooperate with the collector 14 at its base 14c in a pivot connection to allow a free rotation r2 about a C axis substantially parallel to the duct 2.
  • the device can thus pivot freely about said axis C without generating excessive loops or stresses on the supply duct 2.
  • Collector 14 having a base 14c and two arms 14a and 14b diametrically opposite may be obviously different in the case of a device 10 which would have such a single main nozzle.
  • the collector 14 would have in this case the configuration of a bend such as a " ⁇ " to collect - from a base 14c - and deliver - via an arm 14a - the pressurized fluid from the feed pipe 2 to the main nozzle through a possible connecting elbow 15 cooperating on the one hand with the collector arm and on the other hand with the main nozzle.

  • the platform 11 may have means for holding a passenger on the upper face 11a of said platform.
  • said holding means may consist - as indicated by figure 1 - in a pair of slippers or fastening boots of a type similar to what can be found for example in the practice of wakeboarding .
  • Other types of holding means may be preferred depending on whether it is desired to help a passenger leg positions flexed, kneeling or even sitting.
  • a secondary duct 18a and 18b may have a section of the order of 40 millimeters in diameter.
  • a collector 14 may have in turn a section of 120 millimeters in diameter near its base and a section of 80 millimeters in diameter at an arm.
  • the section of a possible connecting bend 15 between a main nozzle and a manifold arm can advantageously adapt the respective sections of the arm and the inlet of the nozzle. Any other configuration of the thrust unit could be chosen to adapt the distribution of the thrust force between the main and secondary nozzles.
  • the figure 2 discloses a preferred embodiment of a platform 11 for a propulsion device according to the invention.
  • a substantially flat platform 11 has - on its upper face 11a - two spaces for respectively accommodate the feet of a passenger shown in dashed lines.

  • Such means 17 can thus materialize support points and constitute a protective cage for said elements. Any inadvertent shock or other direct contact between said elements and their near non-fluid environment can thus be prevented especially during a take-off or landing from the land or even a landing from shallow waters.
  • the choice of the material or materials for producing the projecting means 17 may be dictated by the desired level of shock prevention, the resistance to weight exerted by the passenger (s) present on the platform during takeoff, landing or landing phases. .
