Definitions
- the present invention is a bodyboard with a thermal engine, able to evolve in planing and in the waves.
- HONDA JP 2007203866 distributes an underwater scooter with a thermal engine which, in navigation, is completely submerged underwater except for its snorkel: it is the version with thermal engine of the electric underwater scooters. This concept remains remote and incompatible with the requirements necessary for the present invention, and which are:
- CAYAGO www.cayago.com
- CAYAGO is another reference to the more comparable sensations, in electric version: the company offers an electric boating solo electric, performing on the surface with a speed of 15 to 20 km / h for 5 to 6 hp, and can also go down to 50 m depth, and thus abandoning the flat shape for a form of shells suitable for diving the craft.
- the product displays a weight of 60 kg, for a remaining autonomy limited to one hour of use, besides a rather dissuasive cost of these technologies.
- British Patent No. GB2270282i generally presents a bodyboard with a heat engine.
- a craft of this nature which is slowed by the significant turbulence of the user's body in the water, requires a mechanical thrust available from an engine power of the order of 5 hp or more.
- engine power is not reasonably bootable by anyone with a manual launcher, let alone at sea without firm support on the ground.
- the debauchery of human energy would compromise the safety of the user: cramps, fast fatigue, big wave approaching ... with a very low probability of being able to start on the first try.
- the invention here aimed at a program of speed and waves therefore requires that the invention is necessarily provided with an automatic start (electric motor starter) to access a program of navigation in the waves with the inherent risks of capsizing and wave breaking on the machine, it must have a device for automatically closing the air intake by the snorkel on manual release or a sensor finally to keep the engine idling, without wishing any displacement, a clutch device may be useful.
- an automatic start electric motor starter
- the classic bodyboard activity is recognized and is one of the sports with world competitive circuits.
- the motorized bodyboard is an activity and an invention that does not exist yet: it invents a new motorized and ultralight nautical leisure
- the user is therefore flat on the water, gripping the machine by hands, which may be handles or other located on the top of the upper bodyboard, called the hull.
- Part of the hull remains emerged at the stop as in navigation.
- the shape and material of the hull may vary (bodyboard, small ventral surf as non-limiting examples): any hull that gives buoyancy to the user, but which remains insufficient for a user of 80 kg to allow him a position of standing navigation, and also insufficient for the craft to float with a user out of water of 80 kg lying on the machine.
- the craft is not a boat, but a propeller.
- the craft is less than 2 meters. length.
- the user rest his forearms and possibly part of his bust on the hull, legs dragging in the water behind the machine, because it is directed by pulling on one or the other of his arms to guide his navigation, his legs acting as a rudder.
- the user accelerates and slows down by means of an acceleration command.
- This block of propulsion may find it advantageous to be located at a distance of a few centimeters (at least 2 cm) below the planing hull of the hull, so as not to alter the water flows on which the hull of the hull rests and ricochets. navigation phase.
- the propulsion unit can be connected to the bodyboard by rigid and profiled connecting pieces, or spacers.
- An electric starter also allows access to the engine power range of 5 to 7 hp here needed for the gear for the target speed.
- the machine must also embark a system to compensate for the possible water infiltration by the air intake towards the carburetor of the engine, in this program of waves where the projections of water can often occur, and side exhausts, taking into account turbulent movements.
- the engine exhaust gas duct opens below the waterline of the vehicle when put into the water.
- the machine must therefore embark a system to prevent upwelling harmful seawater to the engine, due to the retraction of flue gas (600-700 °) during cooling, and their exfltrations. Indeed, the circuit traversed by the air-gas mixture of a 2-stroke engine is not very tight, in the opposite direction to the tuba.
- the solution provides for the use of an electric micro-pump, periodically blowing air into the exhaust, and / or a manual or automatic tilted valve.
- a device can be provided for the double security of the user and the machine:
- the machine aims for an ultra-light empty weight around 10 kg, which allows the machine to be pleasantly portable in a backpack.
- the embodiment presented as an example of implementation consists of 2 parts: the propulsion unit and the hull.
- the two parts are separated by a few centimeters and connected by some connecting pieces (8) or spacers.
- the attached diagram gives the illustration of an embodiment from a bodyboard, but this could only be a simple example of the implementation of ventral surf shape. It describes the principle of mounting the machine, without its fairing or its handles, and with a non-integrated tank.
- the surface part includes:
- planing hull is lightweight and rigid enough for the desired mechanical qualities. This hull is not translucent and does not concede anything for any purpose other than described, it does not allow the use of this machine for the purpose of viewing the underwater scenery
- a snorkel (2) bringing the surface air into the sealed air chamber (9) isolating the carburettor from the seawater.
- a wide snorkel optionally allows the passage to the propulsion unit of the throttle control (5), fuel line and power supply wires
- a check valve in the engine air intake which is optional, and is tilted to the closed position when user eviction is detected: by releasing a trigger, a safety cord torn off, or 'another sensor, the engine is stopped
- the inserts of the struts (7) in the bodyboard by pinching the rigid foam of the bodyboard by large washers on either side, or inserts embedded in the resin, on the basis of a small ventral surf in stiffer material
- the tank may be equipped with baffles to reduce the movement of gasoline due to navigation
- a battery pack (4) supplying the electronic ignition of the gasoline engine (10), the starter (1 1) and the micro-pump (15), and the electronic or electromechanical servocontrol systems of the valve and the micro -pump
- Propulsion includes:
- a clutch to initially facilitate the work of the starter, and subsequently be able to leave the machine stationary while remaining engine running at the speed of slow motion
- a hydrojet system (12) consisting of a helix housed in a nozzle, such as a jet-ski, a non-return system for seawater to the engine, in the exhaust duct, here making the choice of a micro-electric air pump (15), blowing air into the exhaust, and being operable when the machine is running or also stopped at anchor
- a fairing specific to the propulsion unit (here removed in the figure), attached to it, and which does not cover the board, so as not to reduce the surface of the hull offering the planing, It has openings to guide the flow water to the engine crankcase for cooling purposes, and to the hydrojet system, for propulsion purposes.
- an electronic ignition (16) preferably, supplies the spark plug of the engine
- the frame supports the assembly of the mechanical elements and transmits the thrust to the bodyboard, through the 4 spacers (8) of attachment.
- the frame consists here of 2 longitudinal members of carbon profiles assembled by assembly, of 20x10 mm section and long
- the propeller shaft will be centered on its length by the ball bearings and a bearing stop, housed in a pylon (14).
- the axial thrust created by the hydrojet propulsion is transmitted to the frame by the pylon, itself securely screwed to the frame. So the gas engine does not have to endure significant axial force
- the motor shaft output seal is favored by the choice of a 2-stroke engine, rather than 4-stroke: in the case of a 2-stroke engine, the seal is natively ensured by sealed ball bearings, given the depressions and overpressures of the gaseous air-gasoline-oil mixture circulating in the crankcase of the crankcase, before being injected to the cylinder. This seal can possibly be doubled by a greased lip seal.
- the electric starter will ideally be in the motor housing, otherwise it will have to be adapted to the constraints of the underwater environment due to the existence of moving parts.
- the parts are preferably composite materials to remain insensitive to corrosion problems • the surfaces of metal parts can be protected by the usual anticorrosive techniques: anodizing, surface treatment, zinc or magnesium sacrificial anode, surface coating, resin casting ... Marine corrosion is however not as important as in ports with a high presence of metallic masses: in this case of intended use, intermittent launching and daily rinsing added to other precautions above sufficient to limit corrosion
- the main weight items are located in the following items:
- the heat engine will count 2 kg, for 5 to 7 HP
- the battery will be 0.5 to 1 kg
- the user puts his thruster into the water, switches on the general electric switch, engages the machine and presses the push button of the electric starter to start the engine. Then it regulates its speed by the manual control of acceleration.
