  • Publication number: 20220193984
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a molded article from a non-thermoplastic material. The method includes: supplying the non-thermoplastic elastomer material to a processing unit; processing the non-thermoplastic elastomer material to generate a material flow of the non-thermoplastic elastomer material; conveying the non-thermoplastic elastomer material into an accumulator unit to generate a nominal pressure of the non-thermoplastic elastomer material in the accumulator unit; conveying the non-thermoplastic elastomer material to a molding unit to selectively output at least one layer of the molded article to be formed; and cross-linking the at least one layer of the molded article or of the entire molded article by means of a cross-linking unit. The non-thermoplastic elastomer material is highly viscous, and has a viscosity in the range of 100 to 1,000,000 Pa·s.

  • Patent number: 9624585
    Abstract: A fluid chamber device for a reaction unit of a redox device, includes at least one first wall element and at least one second wall element which at least partially delimit a fluid chamber, and a sealing region which closes off the fluid chamber against a fluid exchange, in particular a gas exchange, in relation to a surrounding space. At least one of the wall elements, in an installed state, has at least one sealing contour in the sealing region, which is intended for providing a sealing effect and by means of which a spacing of the at least two wall elements in the sealing region is reduced in relation to a surrounding area of the sealing region.

  • Patent number: 6899576
    Abstract: In a watercraft drive for a watercraft having front and rear propellers respectively mounted on a drive shaft in coaxial longitudinally displaced relationship, each of said propellers having at least two blades, the front and rear propellers having equal diameters and being driven at like rotational velocities. The central portion of the rear propeller up to a diameter equal to the diameter of the water jet arriving at the rear propeller, which due to the action of the front propeller has a contracted cross section, is designed to optimize the jet energy exiting the front propeller. The rear propeller has an annular area extending from the central portion to the outer circumference of the rear propeller, being designed with the same design as characterizes the front propeller. The annular area of the rear propeller receives a flow of surrounding ambient water.

  • Publication number: 20010051475
    Abstract: Dual propeller propulsion system for water crafts having two propellers (3, 4) fitted in the same axis outside the ends of an underwater housing (2) configured as a gondola so as to facilitate flow, said housing being placed under the hull of the water craft having a driving mechanism lodged in the underwater housing for both propellers (3, 4) to which the energy coming out for both propellers (3, 4) to which the energy coming out of the hull of the water craft is guided by means of a housing shank (18), one of the ends of which is mounted on the hull (24) of the water craft while the other is mounted in the underwater housing (2).

  • Patent number: 5836795
    Abstract: A watercraft drive has a double rudder propeller driven by a driving engine via a driving shaft (1), an angular gear (3, 4) and an output transmission shaft (5). A propeller (6, 7) is arranged at each end of the output shaft. A guiding device made of guide blades (8a, 8b) is arranged between the propellers to correct aerodynamic conditions between both propellers (6, 7) and thus to reduce energy losses.

  • Patent number: 5520557
    Abstract: A hydrojet for ships, intended for use in shallow waters, has a semiaxially bladed impeller with a vertical axis of rotation rotatably arranged in a well-shaped housing. The drive for the impeller is introduced into the housing from the top through a cover plate, and the housing is closed at the bottom by a bottom plate which has a water inlet arranged in the center for axial admission to the impeller and at least one flatly sloped water outlet. A control device in which the water delivered by the impeller is fed to at least one outlet nozzle without conversion of kinetic energy into pressure energy, is arranged between the discharge end of the delivery channels of the impeller and at least one water outlet. The control device forms a ring channel without blading. The water inlet is designed asymmetrically.
