ADVANTAGES & USES
RIBBON DRIVE Mechanicals
Ribbon Drive slipstream channels [tm] water induction system, adding extra water into the thrust stream from the side. [George Retseck illustration]

> MARINE PROPULSION -

 - canals, rivers, bays, oceans, docking

  • Safer   [blades not chopping away at water]
  • Smoother   [incremental acceleration of water]
  • Quieter  [less cavitation, less noise transmitted]
  • Better    [not the basic 150 year-old propeller]

  - Tested & improved from lab studies at Villanova University

  - Business plans recommended in MBA term project at
         Drexel University LeBow College of Business

  - All-electric boats: 
     -  2 projects--> requested Ribbon Drive participation
     -  Enables revolutionary hull designs underwater


PROPULSION:  Greater safety than whirling prop. 

  • Centrifugal spray contained by outer cylinder and by concave face of vane directing water rearward.  
  • Only one moving part.  
  • Lower r.p.m.'s achieve desired  thrust, velocity.   
  • Allows novel hull design. 
  • Virtually no cavitation / noise.  Less surface erosion.  
  • Potential to improve hull slipstream dynamics.
