Surfboard horizontal fin

Abstract

1. The Horizontal Fin is a marine vessel mechanism. It manufactures propulsion without the use of an engine, moving parts, or fuel. This assistance reduces human paddling labor.2. The Horizontal Fin is also a marine vessel stabilizing mechanism. It accumulates equalizing water pressure to resist equal amounts of side to side wave pressures. Rough water and waves have mercilessly challenged the ability of the surfer to stand or fall. This will significantly “tip” the odds in favor of a successful ride.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to “marine” vessels. It is a compact fueless hybrid marine engine with no moving parts. It may be used exclusively, or with a vessel fuel engine, to assist it to save fuel costs. It's field may be compared to a hybrid automobile engine, excepting that it requires water currents as it's source of origin, to multiply power from. So it's field is exclusively for marine aquatic vessels. It's applications to marine vessels are more specifically related to marine engines, marine stealth, and marine safety equipment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The Horizontal Fin is a hybrid marine engine;[0003]Particularly, it is applicable to saving costs of fuel. It can attach to a vessel rudder or surfboard fin with as little as two screws, so that the costs of installation does not mitigate it's fuel savings. Henry Ford would be astonished, and so will we, as the future of this generic design of the Horizontal Fin unfolds, just as the future of his ga...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]Vessels powered by or assisted by Horizontal Fins may be reduced. Marine insurance includes vessel rescue and tow service. The Horizontal Fin can rescue the vessel instead, reducing rates and deductibles for marine insurance. The Horizontal Fin needs no regular maintenance or service and has no moving parts, not even oil. It is light weight, compact, removable, extremely inexpensive compared to other engines, and is as reliable as the forces of water current that operate it. The source of origin of initial propulsion is a small force of water current. It is collected on a collector and routed into a pressure verses volume vortex, and then multiplied again in a orifice. The multiplied water pressure that exits the orifice is banked off the vessel rudder or surfboard fin. This pressure pushes the vessel forward by pushing the rudder or fin. Then the pressure bounces off into the hull, and pushes the vessel forward again. No moving parts. The aqua physics invented includes the water moving instead of engine parts moving. Our engines and parts break, but the ocean currents don't. This generic design is new and more reliable.

[0021]Inventions are a way to stop more losses. The human race has to reduce risks of being in an environment of water that was created for fish, not people. We were not created to be in the ocean, fish were. Inventions are needed to reduce capsizing, freight damage, sea sickness, etc.

[0036]The Horizontal Fin vortex encloses current pressure to multiply it, to add propulsion to the surfboard. The surfer is able to control this by stepping to the rear of the surfboard. This applies weight to the rear so the rear of the surfboard is an angle downward, in the rear. Consequently, the angle of the fin is down in the rear. The Horizontal Fin is operated by the surfers movements. The surfer pushes its angle downward in the rear. Resultantly, the surfer takes off, catches the wave better, faster, and then steps to the nose to ride on.

Problems solved by technology

It can attach to a vessel rudder or surfboard fin with as little as two screws, so that the costs of installation does not mitigate it's fuel savings.

Marine electric and hybrid engines are still not service free.

Since the water currents naturally pre-exist, nothing can be detected otherwise.

If anyone drives in or goes, they would wake up the other, or not be able to hear the TV or music.

The background of this problem is that the fish catch us instead .

The background of not having the safety equipment needed is usually it's cost.

The odds of someone needing marine safety equipment may be compared to the odds of having an auto accident today.

No other marine stability device can equal what is photographed.

If they don't believe it will do what the owners manual says, they won't buy it.

They don't like paying for something if they can't figure out if or how it works.

For example, “Hanging Ten” toes off the front of the surfboard is a challenge that millions of dollars all over the world is spent on.
