Abstract

The marine propulsion system using swinging flaps, similar to the movement of the flippers of e.g. a marine animal, and which can also be used for a water powered device, operates with a sinusoidal motion, and has a mechanism with two parallel drive shafts mounted in bearing blocks each end which can slide sideways in slots in horizontal supports, under spring pressure, each operating a crank drive arrangement, so as to vertically reciprocate a pair of parallel rods connected to two spindles secured across the flap, spaced apart and parallel to each other. These two spindles are supported in slides so that they move towards and away from one another as they reciprocate vertically. An alternate design has a cycloidal motion.
