Water Vehicle for Fun and Fishing
Year: 2004 – 2008 | 2023
Project
The idea for the creation of the “water-attraction vehicle” is for entertainment, training and hobby (fishing). This is a type of “catamaran” – with length 3.2 meters and width of 2.2 meters. The main idea of the catamaran is to be with hybrid propulsion – combination of foot and electric drive with propeller. The legs and arms take part in its drive, but there is also a special place for sitting, which can be used either for a break or fishing. There will be an opportunity to disassemble and assemble the main components and details of the overall structure. There is also an option for folding or disassembling the hulls – in two or more parts. The product is intended for hotels, holiday homes, tourist towns, sanatoriums and areas specialized in water tourism – near lakes, dams and sea gulfs.
First Version of the Water Vehicle – 1:2 Scale Model
Development
The development is at the mockup model level – scale 1:2. The overall structure of the main design and the individual details will be improved, after which a main functional prototype will be developed – scale 1:1. Will be used support structure (skeleton) covered by the base body (plastic, composite materials). A main hull is situated between the two boat shell parts, and on top of it two platform-pedals are tightly fixed. The pedals will not rotate, pressure will cause the movement of the water-pushing mechanism to be reproduced, located under the main hull. The principle of foot drive will be adapted from the principle of a fitness device – “stepper”. The development of the catamaran will also include an electric drive – electric motor with a propeller powered by batteries – “underwater thruster” or “azimuth thruster”. The direction of movement will be determined by the two keels, located at the rear of the boat shells. The movement of the keels will be done through an additional mechanism.
“Water-Attraction Vehicle” is part of the products of Boater Design – a sub-brand of Solo Form.
