The invention relates a fluid or air propeller propulsion apparatus using modified state of the art propeller that reduces the typical propeller slipstream disc contraction at the propeller tips, by simply adding a novel channel or trough on the back surface spanwise midway between the leading edge and trailing edge. A portion of the air or fluid flowing over the back face of propeller blade is raked off and collected in the channel during rotation of the propeller, wherein the fluid or air is acted upon by centrifugal force varying directly with the propeller speed causing the fluid or air to be accelerated thru the channel or trough to the trailing edge of the propeller. This additional flow increases the propeller capacity additional jetting action bootstrapping causing the propeller to turn more easily, all of which increases the propeller thrust and efficiency as much as 10 percent. |
