Abstract: A modular, gas-driven power distribution system includes a gasoline-operated module delivering power to a connector having a rotatable element enabling a plurality of mechanical devices to be detachably coupled to the connector to receive power through the rotatable element. The plurality of connectable devices includes a powered oar adapted for nautical purposes. The oar preferably comprises a shaft having a proximal end adapted for detachable coupling to the connector forming part of the gasoline-operated module, and a distal end transitioning into a paddle shape terminating in a rotating prop. A rotatable axle is disposed centrally within the shaft, the axle having a proximal end adapted for detachable coupling to the rotatable element to deliver power to the rotating prop.
