Multi-Axis Water Jet Propulsion Using Coanda-Effect Valves
Invention type: Technology
/
Case number: #14866
A propulsion system is provided that includes one or more pumps that form a jet for propulsion. A number of Coanda jet devices (CJDs) are coupled to the one or more pumps. The CJDs are arranged so to allow for a multi-axis underwater control of an underwater robot.
