Abstract
A peripheral propulsion system having a propulsion unit, an upper section, and a lower section. The propulsion unit has a motor, a motor engagement section, an extension coupled to the motor engagement section, and two or more blades coupled to the extension. The extension is located between the upper section and the lower section. The output section is located about at least a portion of the lower section, and the two or more blades are located outside a periphery of the vehicle. When the motor is running, the two or more blades are capable of drawing fluid from about the periphery of the vehicle and through the output section.
Claims37
An apparatus comprising:
- a vehicle;
- and
- a peripheral propulsion system coupled to the vehicle, wherein the peripheral propulsion system comprises:
- a propulsion unit, wherein the propulsion unit comprises:
- a motor;
- a motor engagement section;
- an extension coupled to the motor engagement section;
- and
- two or more blades coupled to the extension;
- an upper section and a lower section, wherein the extension is located between the upper section and the lower section;
- and
- an output section located about at least a portion of the lower section;
- wherein the two or more blades are located outside a periphery of the vehicle;
- the upper section is located below the vehicle;
- the motor supports a weight of the vehicle when located on a surface;
- and when the motor is running, the two or more blades are capable of drawing fluid from about the periphery of the vehicle and through the output section.
An apparatus comprising:
- a vehicle;
- and
- a peripheral propulsion system coupled to the vehicle, wherein the peripheral propulsion system comprises:
- a propulsion unit, wherein the propulsion unit comprises:
- a motor;
- a motor engagement section;
- an extension coupled to the motor engagement section;
- and
- two or more blades coupled to the extension;
- and
- an upper section and a lower section, wherein the extension is located between the upper section and the lower section;
- wherein the extension is sized such that the two or more blades are located outside a periphery of the vehicle;
- the peripheral propulsion system is configured to direct fluid to a substantially perpendicular flow, after entering the intake section, to a relative angled flow as exiting the intake section;
- the peripheral propulsion system is further configured to direct an angled flow entering the output section to perpendicular flow exiting the output section;
- and the relative angled flow as exiting the intake section is angled in a direction of the one or more blades rotation.
An apparatus comprising:
- a vehicle;
- and
- a peripheral propulsion system coupled to the vehicle, wherein the peripheral propulsion system comprises:
- a propulsion unit, wherein the propulsion unit comprises:
- a motor;
- a motor engagement section;
- an extension coupled to the motor engagement section;
- an upper bearing;
- a lower bearing;
- and
- two or more blades coupled to the extension;
- and
- an upper section and a lower section, wherein the extension is located between the upper section and the lower section;
- wherein the two or more blades are capable of drawing fluid from about a periphery of the vehicle and pushing fluid out about the periphery of the vehicle;
- and the upper bearing is located between the upper section and the motor engagement section, and the lower bearing located between the lower section and the motor engagement section.
