  • Watercraft using narrowing concave channels
    Patent number: 10676158
    Abstract: The invention is a watercraft with at least one hull which creates hydrodynamic lift by using narrowing concave channels (1) on the underside of the said at least one hull where propulsion (3) is placed such that the said propulsion draws water through the said narrowing concave channels (1).
    Type: Grant

  • High speed triangular shaped hydroplaning monohull craft with aircraft-like control surfaces having surface adhesion hull characteristics
    Patent number: 10106234
    Abstract: The invention is an air propelled boat that has a triangular shaped hydroplaning monohull which has surface adhesion characteristics by means of a concave bottom hull. The invention also has aircraft-like control surfaces (5,6) for safety and control at high speeds. The invention is the only monohull marine craft which produces aerodynamic lift without wings and has air based propulsion (4), air based control surfaces and a unique concave planing hull.

  • VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WATERCRAFT USING A MICROCHIP BASED PROCESSOR AND CONTROL SURFACES
    Publication number: 20180043975
    Abstract: The invention is a vehicle control system which is envisaged to be used in high speed planing watercraft which has a means of control about three axes where the invention controls the said watercraft about at least two axes by actuating control surfaces. The invention uses a microchip based processor (1) to actuate control surfaces based on input from various sensors (3). The invention also uses a three dimension time of flight imaging subsystem (8) to read information of the oceanic wave conditions.
