Abstract: A quick-disconnect sill cock flange for allowing the ease of installation and removal of a sill cock (3), having a nipple cartridge body (4) communicating with said sill cock (3) by means of ½″ male iron pipe threads (5), the said nipple cartridge body (4) is hollow and cast with a hex channel (20) the entire length and is fashioned with two o-ring grooves (6), which retain o-rings (8) in a confined address in relation to the interior of a termination flange (9), providing a water tight seal. A termination flange (9) is soldered onto copper tubing (13), to be flush with exterior of building wall. The said copper tubing (13), as well as the said termination flange (9), are secured permanently to the building water system and become absolutely stationary. The said sill cock (3), being attached to the said nipple cartridge body (4), communicates with said termination flange (9), allowing the said sill cock (3), to be drawn up tight by use of a pair of retaining bolts (12) and flat washers (11).

Abstract: The invention provides a water jet system with higher efficiency and better steering. The water jet system uses cantilever bars for an inlet grating, to prevent blockage. The water jet system also uses an elliptical impeller shaft housing to reduce turbulence and snagging of debris by the rotating impeller shaft. The water jet system uses impeller blades with a curved cross section that curves towards the direction of forward rotation. The water jet system uses U-shaped flanges mounted to the outlet of the water jet to provide steering.

Abstract: The invention provides an amphibious vehicle that integrates suspension fairing with a movable bow vane. This integration, allows the suspension fairings to be stored between the bow vane and the hull of the vehicle during land use and to be automatically deployed during water use. The suspension fairing uses a deployment system connected with the bow vane deployment system, so that they are deployed and retracted as an integral system.
