  • Patent number: 11952091
    Abstract: A marine vessel propeller to convert engine rotational power into propulsive thrust is of a built-up propeller (BUP) type having a circular array of propeller blades, wherein each propeller blade is a single piece including a blade part and a base part. The base part has a generally circular inner surface with a number of radially extending cylindrical indents provided with planar end wall and fastening holes arranged through the base part at a location of the indents. A cylindrical insert is provided with a hole parallel to a longitudinal axis of the insert and arranged to fit into the indent, such that the propeller blades are attachable to a propeller shaft using exemplary fastening bolts through the fastening holes and inserts. A propeller blade and method for installing a marine vessel propeller are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10097045
    Abstract: An apparatus for wireless transmission of power from a DC voltage source to a DC voltage load, includes: one primary coil coupled with one secondary coil, the primary coil and the secondary coil each equipped with at least one capacitor, so that the primary coil resonates at a frequency that at least equal the secondary coil resonant frequency; the resonant coils are mutually moveable; a converter that converts the DC voltage at a primary side to an AC voltage of controllable magnitude and frequency; at least one rectifier at the secondary side converts the AC voltage at the terminals of the secondary coil to a DC voltage at the load on the secondary side; and a control system that regulates the power flow by changing the magnitude and frequency of the AC voltage at the terminals of the primary resonant coil.
