摘要 |
The present invention relates to a hydrodynamic transmission for ship propulsion comprising a prime mover driving an axial flow pump in combination with an open, water-powered turbine for driving propeller blades. The power plant and the propeller are not mechanically connected, and power is transmitted through the hydrodynamic transmission. The invention also provides for a thrust-reversing mechanism specially adapted to the hydrodynamic transmission described herein.
