Watercraft’s fuel consumption will be several times smaller. As a result, the costs of transport will be significantly lower and, consequently, the competitiveness of the prices of products exported on waterways will increase.

High efficiency of the drive, irrespective of the direction of liquid flow, makes it possible for the watercraft to quickly accelerate, change direction and stop when there is a danger of collision. Even in the case of engine failure, the system allows for creating a large amount of braking force by locking the propeller in one of its working positions. The resulting head resistance effectively reduces the speed of the watercraft.

Considering the fact that the braking distance of a large cargo vessel or a tanker can be as much as a dozen kilometres (or more), equipping the ship with my propeller can definitely decrease the risk of collision in large-mass transport. The driver is able to accelerate and stop a watercraft within a distance many times shorter than in the case of a classic propeller screw.

Faced with the depletion of natural resources of our planet and growing environmental pollution caused by the process of fuel combustion, it is becoming increasingly unjustified to waste energy by using the propeller screw drive. Watercrafts using standard propeller screw are subject to considerable limitations of overall hydrodynamic efficiency.  This is due to a high head resistance of the propeller and energy losses caused by the cavity.

These limitations will not be overcome until a new generation driver are introduced. Delta Prototypes is currently working on such a solution. Such a radical reduction of fuel consumption will entail a decrease in the rate of exploitation of oil accumulations, thus increasing our energy safety.

Do you need access to areas protected as nature reserves?  My vehicles will be totally neutral to the surrounding environment of the nature reserve. They will not have propeller screws, which, when working, threaten water fauna and flora. Wave propellers work very quietly, so they not harm the creatures living in the water by causing undue stress.

These can be manned electric watercrafts of automated watercrafts supporting research on protected ecosystems. Given the efficiency of these propellers, if equipped with solar cells, they can be energetically self-sufficient. In case of unfavourable weather conditions, they can be powered from batteries

Unlike currently used screw propellers, my drive is characterized by low level of generated turbulence, which makes it quiet. This characteristic, along with high hydrodynamic efficiency of driver system, enables us to use it to build quiet, non-invasive, eco-friendly (no rotating elements) manned electric watercrafts insensitive to pollution of the liquid medium or automated watercrafts which can enter quiet zones and support research on nature reserve ecosystems.

A significant reduction of water transport’s demand for petroleum products translates directly into a considerable reduction in the emission of exhaust fumes.

Adjusting water transport to the new technology is a challenge we all have to rise up to if we want to bring about a significant improvement in the condition of the environment on a global scale.
