The design and application of a new vertical-axis ship propeller

The new vertical-axis propeller is a kind of propulsion device, which can adjust revolving speed continuously to adapt to changeable working conditions under the constant velocity of diesel engine. What´s more, its own auxiliary transmission mechanism can realize some extra functions, such as clutch and hybrid power. Based on the propeller´s special steering principle and structure, this paper introduces the design of the propeller and its good application in hybrid power system.
