MOTORIZED WATER VEHICLE ADAPTED FOR SUPPLYING A PRESSURIZED FLUID AND ASSOCIATED DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

A Motorized Water Vehicle (MWV) adapted to operate as a fluid-compression station in addition to the primary transport function thereof. Such an MWV can supply compressed fluid to a third device. In a preferred and non-exhaustive manner, such an MWV can supply a passenger propulsion device allowing the propulsion device to move through the air or through a fluid. A propulsion system is thereby provided, in which a remote station is a motorized water vehicle adapted to engage with a propulsion device.

主权项

1. A motorized water vehicle, comprising:
a hull, a turbine to pressurize a fluid ingested from an intake and expel the pressurized fluid from a fluid outlet at the rear of the vehicle, a flange attached to the fluid outlet for collecting at least a part of the pressurized fluid, a supply conduit connected to the flange and disposed beneath the hull to transport the pressurized fluid towards the front of the vehicle, a first strap surrounding the supply conduit at a location in the vicinity of the front of the vehicle, and a second strap connected to the front of the vehicle and to the first strap, so as to support the supply conduit, said second strap having a length that enables the supply conduit to maintain a substantially horizontal orientation along the length of the hull.
