  • Publication number: 20230202637
    Abstract: A modular hybrid propulsion unit is disclosed that is mountable to a watercraft. According to an example, the modular hybrid propulsion unit includes a housing configured to fit within a complementary housing receiver on a topside of the watercraft, and a rotational output coupling configured to rotationally engage with a rotational input coupling for a propeller of the watercraft. The propulsion unit further includes an electric motor within the housing, the electric motor having a motor shaft connected to the rotational output coupling for providing an electrically powered rotational input to the rotational output coupling. The propulsion unit further includes a crank having one or more crank arms. The crank is connected to the rotational output coupling for providing a human powered rotational input to the rotational output coupling independent of the electrically powered rotational input by the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 10087649
    Abstract: A pool side shading device that includes: an inflatable object, where inflatable object is placed near a swimming pool; a platform, where the platform is an integral part of the inflatable object; a flow of water over the platform, where the flow of water descends into the pool; and a water source, where the water source provides water for the flow of water. The inflatable object may preferably configured as a rock formation. The water source may be a water hose or water from the swimming pool through a pump. Further, the flow of water may be adapted to recirculate over the platform.
