Cycloidal propeller esp. for ship main drive

摘要

The propeller has a rotor body having impellers (2a,3a;2b,3b;2a,3a;2d,3d) pivotably supported on it and extending laterally to the drive direction. The impellers are arranged on defined impeller circular positions (a-d) of the impeller circle (9). The rotary axis of the rotor and the impeller pivot axes run parallel to each other and the displacement and pivoting movement of the impellers is achieved by an impeller kinematic rod driven by a central control bar. At least two impellers are provided parallel to each other on each impeller circular position.
