Abstract

The present invention is a semicircular, sharp bow submarine with a rotating front drive propulsion unit, rear dock, top fin with a horizontally rotating wheel-shaft, and four water tanks—jet propulsion devices in the bottom. This invention is a new means in underwater travel.

Description

Submarine. Solomon Budnik, Israeli citizen residing in Tel Aviv, Israel, has invented a front drive submarine for advanced underwater travel, as set forth in the following specification.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS NOT AVAILABLE STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT NOT AVAILABLE. REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING NOT AVAILABLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

I claim: The utility invention in Class 114 of a front drive submarine as shown in the drawings (FIG. 1-2). Field of the endeavor is the advanced and improved structural and propulsion characteristics, the method and arrangements of the underwater travel.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Object of the invention is to provide a new means for underwater travel with improved capabilities and arrangements. These new means is the invented front drive submarine, with new arrangements shown in the drawings (FIG. 1- 2). This article is original in its utility and solves the problems in underwater travel. The present invention, a front drive submarine, provides the following innovations, improvements and advantages:

It has a structure, which is used for the first time in submarines. (FIG. 1- 2)

It has a sharp bow with a rotating propulsion unit. (FIG. 2)

It has an integrated dock in the rear. (FIG. 1)

It has a top fin, which provides support for a wheel-shaft rotating horizontally. (FIG. 1)

Said wheel-shaft acts as a propelling-steering device.

There are four ballast water tanks in the bottom. (FIG. 2), integrating jet engines (not visible here).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is the right side and perspective view of the invented submarine, showing its semicircular structure with protruding frontal propulsion unit, top fin with the wheel-shaft, and the dock integrated in the rear—all solid surfaces, showing my invention. [0010]
FIG. 2 is the bottom side view of the invention showing sharp bow with protruding frontal propulsion unit, and four water tanks—jet propulsion devices.[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Generally, a submarine is not a front drive semicircular structure with a sharp bow with a protruding frontal propulsion unit. It cannot hover, float and move using horizontally rotating wheel-shaft located on the top fin, does not integrate jet engines within water tanks to propel the submarine using this ballast (continuous water circulation), does not dock other submarines and submersible aircrafts, and cannot travel three times faster than other submarines. [0012]
The invented front drive submarine (FIG. 1-[0013] 2) can do it. This improved capacity is due to its semicircular structure comprised of a sharp bow with a rotating front drive propulsion unit, top fin with a horizontally rotating wheel-shaft, and four water ballast tanks—propulsion devises in the bottom, integrating jet engines.
Another improvement of this article is the integrated dock in the rear where small submarines and submersible aircrafts can be docked and launched from. [0014]

Claims

what I claim as my invention is:

1. A front drive submarine (FIG. 1)

2. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine is a semicircular structure. (FIG. 1)

3. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has a sharp bow. (FIG. 1-2)

4. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has a protruding, rotating frontal propulsion unit. (FIG. 1-2)

5. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has a dock integrated in the rear. (FIG. 1)

6. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has a top fin with a horizontally rotating wheel-shaft which is used as an air in-taking, propelling-steering device. (FIG. 1)

7. A submarine according to claim 6, wherein said propelling-steering device with a horizontally rotating, variable angle wheel-shaft is used by the invention to hover underwater in a fixed position or float on the water surface to take-in air while the invention remains submerged, and is further used to propel it down, up, forward and backward, and make fast turns.

8. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has four water ballast tanks—propulsion devices in its bottom (FIG. 2), with integrated jet engines (not visible here).

9. A submarine according to claim 4 and 8, wherein said frontal propulsion unit takes-in water and passes it to ballast tanks where jet engines provide for forward thrust.
