Abstract
A propeller having a plurality of blades extending radially outward from a hub, the blades forming a loop. Each loop can have an intake portion, an exhaust portion and a tip portion extending radially outward from the hub and a gap between the intake root and the exhaust root.
Claims14
A method of manufacturing a propeller having a plurality of blades, each of the plurality of blades having an intake portion, an exhaust portion, and a tip portion extending from the intake portion to the exhaust portion, the method comprising:
- defining a plurality of parameter sections by selecting some of the parameters including skew angle, roll angle, rake, radius, pitch angle, vertical angle values;
- defining a parameter section at the transition from the intake portion to the tip portion by parameters to cause the amount of non-axial lift in the tip portion to be greater than the axial lift in the tip portion;
- and
- extrapolating between parameter sections to form smooth lines to form a blade configured to form a loop when attached to a hub.

A propeller comprising:
- a plurality of blades, each of the plurality of blades having an intake portion, an exhaust portion, and a tip portion extending from the intake portion to the exhaust portion;
- a hub;
- the plurality of blades extending outward from the hub and disposed around the hub;
- each blade forming a loop;
- each blade comprising a plurality of parameter sections having selected some of the parameters including skew angle, roll angle, rake, radius, pitch angle, vertical angle values;
- a parameter section at the transition from the intake portion to the tip portion defined by parameters to cause the amount of non-axial lift in the tip portion to be greater than the axial lift in the tip portion;
- a parameter section or area between consecutive parameter sections in the tip portion having a roll value of 90 degrees;
- and
- a root of the exhaust portion is forward of a root of the intake portion when extending outward from the hub, and skew is continually decreasing.
