Abstract

The sea rescue boat runs on a cushion of air, which is supplied by a system of air pipes 6, running from the power pump 5, to a series of panels on the underside of the boat, and as it is partly submerged, most of the friction is eliminated. My boat also has an air pocket surrounded 7 in the upper cabin that will prevent the boat from overturning, and a peripheral series of ventilation pipes 2 to the cabin interior. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Air powered sea rescue boat Figure 1 Air powered boat in relation to sea level Figure 2 Plan showing doors for access and position of air supply pipes in relation to boat Figure 3 Section showing air pocket surrounding boat to stop boat overturning, and showing air supply from pump to panels on bottom of boat Figure 3A Method for fixing air pipes to panels Figure 4 Plan showing air pipes from pump to alternate panels in bottom of boat Key to reference numerals 1. Sea level 2. Exterior air supply pipes 3. Metal canopy 4. Access to boat 5. Engine and air pump 6. Air pipes from pump 7. Air pocket surrounding boat 8. Boat driver The object of this invention is to provide a sea rescue boat that can travel very fast in a rough sea, my boat is partly submerged and air is supplied by a system of air pipes leading from the exterior to the interior of the boat.
Power is supplied by an engine pump stationed at the front of the boat, and the bottom of the boat is divided into panels to which are fixed various air pipes which run from the power pump to the panels, which provide a cushion of air on which the boat glides along and as the boat is partly submerged most of the friction is eliminated and I claim that my boat will travel in excess of sixty miles per hour, even in rough weather and is protected from overturning by the air pocket surround.
1. The object of this invention is to provide a boat that will travel very fast in a rough sea, and I claim that this boat will travel very fast, however rough the sea may be, the boat is driven by a series of air jets fixed to the underside of the boat, which eliminates most of the friction, the boat can take off from a sandy or gravel beach, and can land in the same way special air ventilation pipes are provided for any passengers, as the boat is partly submerged.
