Water Bug Canoe

The "Water Bug" canoe is a self propelled vehicle with many "hull" adaptations. The canoe is "weighted" to reverse capsize along with the extending self sustained electric water propulsion system then being a pneumatically "pressurized" water jet self sustained pneumatic / electric hydraulic draft water jet propulsion system.  The system is a bit heavier than the standard canoe but incorporated additional features allow for ease of operation. The amenities provide function for extended canoe trips. The hull design is called a "Water Bug" due to the extenuating pontoon flotation that  hinges out from the front of the canoe and in the aft the pontoon buoyancy flotation are equipped with internal electric water propellers and electric "outboard" electric motor. The "draft accelerator water jet propulsion" then encased with the wall of the canoe to allow for adequate floor space.....

Description

The canoe motive power the being derived from air pressure atop water pressure contained within the "pendulum dual component mounting tank and the additional stored air pressure holding tank. The "start" sequence is as follows;

The operator uses the starboard "throttle" hand grip the turning a on/off electrical switch upon the end of the hand grip to the "on" position this action completes the electrical "re-introduction circuit that directs a percentile of generated electrical current from the main

generator (magneto) back to the systems electric drive motor and water pump assembly number 31.

Simultaneously the starboard side "throttle" thumb button actuated the initial pneumatic discharge causing the system to inject air pressure into the generator assembly pneumatic rotary type air compression system causing the rotary air compressor to initially act as a pneumatic impeller.

The water pressure inlet valve then being mounted upon the water impeller intake coupling then being a pull cable actuated valve then is opened by the  starboard "throttle" system being pulled out from the dashboard in a perpendicular fashion. the throttle pull will then be setting the generator / propulsion system  "base idle" run speed.

Twisting the throttle hand grip ( like a motor cycle throttle),  will then control the system "electrical re-introduction circuit" causing increased system speed opening the dampener valve number 33 causing high pressure water exhaust to propel the canoe. Since the water pump, number 31 is pulling more water than the preceding water impeller, number 8, with number 8 then tandem rotating with the large pulley the tendency is then to "stretch a fluid". The reduction pulley system then causing a "hydraulic draft effect" to cause continual forward advancement of the generator's rotation producing stable usable levels of electricity. Pressurized fluid being pulled in the confinement of a rigid flow pipe will cause speed advancement due to the higher velocity of the water pump.

The electronics will sense the pneumatic pressure levels within both air pressure tanks , number 40 and the air pressure storage tank , number 62, keeping the air pressure tanks full of air pressure automatically. After the system's electrical reintroduction circuit and the "base idle" are then established, the rotary type air compressor is then cause automatic function switching from piston type impeller to then become a piston type "air compressor" via the connect valve flow directions switching to "re-fill" the pneumatic pressure storage number 40 and number 62 for subsequent system "re-start".

When the starboard hand grip is twisted the re-introduction electrical circuit then is caused to cause the generator to increase in speed past the dampener, number 33, setting (flow restriction level), causing then internal coil spring depressed dampener "plate" to open so the generator will cause high pressure water discharge exhaust from number 20.

The canoe has the capacity to use the two aft electric trolling motors to travel in "reverse" at slow speed. The pontoon trolling motors then are also used for slow speed positioning by tilting the starboard hand grip in a clockwise counter clockwise circular fashion instigating the pontoon internal water propulsion electric motors driving the propellers. To instigate "reverse" the starboard pull out hand grip is then pushed past its natural resting place (toward the dashboard), to "cause" the aft electric outboard propellers to cause "retro / reverse" propulsion.
