Background and Prior art if any

Propulsion apparatus and method of present day marine vehicles is taken as prior art as they are approximately related to this invention for comparison. In general prior art marine- vessels achieves forward motion by methods of water-jet propulsion, wind propulsion, diesel propulsion by rotating propeller blades to push water backwards.

Drag = DC x density of water x velocity² x reference fore area of hull under contact with water

2

Where DC is Drag coefficient.

Drag increases exponentially to the speed in prior art vehicle and proportionally to the total water hitting the fore of the fuselage per second. _^Various methods have been used to reduce drag coefficient by improving hydrodynamic designs of the hull of the vehicle. This invention provides improved solution to reduce the drag coefficient and hitting drag of the water-medium as described in brief description. In all prior art vehicles, there is a need to reduce the fuel consumption and energy further. Number of hydro dynamic designs have been evolved to reduce the high hydrodynamic drag and high water resistance at high speeds, still there is a need to reduce hydrodynamic drag further. For floating vehicles there is no need of energy to float against gravity because vehicle is already on float in water, but energy is required to move marine craft ahead. Most of the thrust energy is consumed to replace the water at fore of the hull. Thrust energy requirement is reduced in this invention compared to any existing marine-vehicles.

Another object of this invention is to provide fore-water sucking tunnel conduit jet propulsion apparatus and method for marine crafts and vessels that avoids exponential increase of the drag with speed of the vehicle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide improved apparatus for propulsion having simplicity to build propeller for different payload capacity of marine crafts.

This invention further provides provision for catchment of fish in water compartment of the large vessel and provision to remove the debris collected through the suction tunnel conduit before the jet to get blocked.

The water jet apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said water impeller and/or said water compressor is inter leaved in line with said water sucking tunnel conduit, operated by torque energy of said power source to suck water through said water- input port to fill said water sucking tunnel conduit.

6. The water jet apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said power source means adapted to consume combustible fuel and/or a solar power source and/or rechargeable battery power source to generate torque energy for operating water- impeller and/or water compressor.

7. The water jet apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said water sucking tunnel conduit is preferably cylindrical pipe capable of bearing high pressure water inside.

8. The water jet apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said water sucking tunnel conduit is filled with fast moving water.

9. The water jet apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said control mechanism housed inside the hull is configured to regulate the quantity of water sucked through input port and diffused water through said water-jet outlet to operate and manoeuvre the marine-vessel in required speed, roll and yaw.

10. The water jet apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said power source output is configured to operate electric motor for generating torque energy for^' operating said water impeller and/or said water accelerator and/or to charge batteries of said solar power system and/or to charge said rechargeable battery power system.

11. A Method for water jet apparatus being mounted in a hull comprising:

at least one water sucking tunnel conduit;

at least one water input port connected to said water sucking tunnel conduit;

at least one water-jet nozzle to release fast moving water to generate thrust;

a control mechanism;

comprising steps of:

a. creation of low pressure at fore of said hull by means of operating said water-impeller and/or said water-compressor thereby the said low pressure minimises the drag caused due to water attack on said hull during cruise of marine-vessel and generates pulling force.

b. energising said sucked water by kinetic and potential energy by means of operating said water-impeller and/or said water-compressor thereby filling and delivering continuously said energised water to said sucking tunnel conduit.

c. diffusing the said energised water through said water-jet outlet resulting generation of thrust.
