Abstract: The jet system body has a first inlet conduit having: a first inlet end defining a first inlet opening; a first outlet end defining a first outlet opening; and a first lumen extending from the first inlet opening to the first outlet opening; a second inlet end defining a second inlet opening; a second outlet end defining a second outlet opening; and a second lumen extending from the second inlet opening to the second outlet opening; a manifold in fluid communication with the first outlet opening and the second outlet opening; and an outlet in fluid communication with the manifold and configured to receive an impeller for drawing fluid through the first and second inlet conduits, through the manifold and into the outlet. The first inlet conduit and the second inlet conduit extend from the manifold such that the first inlet end and the second inlet end are spaced apart.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a hydrofoil board powered by a motor driven propeller. The motor is controlled by a hand controller configured with user selectable operating pre-sets including a first operating pre-set, wherein the board is accelerated to a first speed which is less than that required for the board to hydrofoil, and a second operating pre-set, wherein the board is accelerated to a second speed sufficient for the board to hydrofoil. Alternatively, the operating pre-sets may limit the motor power. A system for operating a hydrofoil board is also disclosed, which includes a propulsion control unit comprising a propulsion source, and a hand controller configured to receive a first user input and a second user input and to transmit the user inputs to the propulsion control unit.

Abstract: A hydrofoil system is disclosed, having a fuselage with a propeller mounted to one end of the fuselage and a wing extending laterally from the fuselage. The fuselage is configured for removable attachment to a mast, so that the mast when attached extends from the fuselage in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis and also substantially orthogonal to the wing. A tail wing is connected to the fuselage by a tail strut, so that the tail wing is positioned beyond the end of the fuselage to which the propeller is attached. A motor is housed in the fuselage and has a cable connected thereto, the cable extending outside the fuselage, wherein a removable sealing system inhibits water ingress to the motor at the location where the cable is connected when the sealing system is installed in the fuselage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a module configured for removable attachment to a board and attached to an end of a mast, where the mast supports a hydrofoil and a motor to drive the board. The module includes a connector for connecting to a power source, internal control circuitry, and a thermal bridge to thermally connect the control circuitry to the mast. The module comprises a watertight cavity in which the internal control circuitry is contained.
