Abstract
A system where a shaft runs through a center of a hydro screw helical gear main bearing. The helical gear positioned at approximately the end of the horizontal shaft and connects to the vertical power shaft and mating helical gear. Two main and two truss (shoe type) bearings position the screw/auger. There is on the hydro shaft a pressure seal in the Power Keel. The pitch angle is one turn (RPM) to 7.5 feet of travel with a four feet wide screw built into the blades-flukes off the screw/auger. The bearings are 12,000 RPM capable.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a hydro screw implement;
- a shaft implement that is configured to support said hydro screw implement;
- a helical gear equipment disposed at a proximate end of said shaft implement, wherein said helical gear equipment is a set of helical gears configured to connect said shaft implement to a power shaft of a water vehicle;
- a power keel;
- a main bearing equipment housed inside said power keel, wherein said main bearing equipment is a set of main bearings configured to control a rotation and position of said shaft implement;
- a truss bearing equipment, in which said truss bearing equipment comprises at least two truss bearings mounted back to back inside said power keel, wherein said at least two truss bearings are configured to control a float play of said shaft implement;
- and
- a pressure seal implement, wherein said pressure seal implement is configured to separate water or sea on one side and a power keel lubricant on the other side;
- wherein a hardened point section is disposed between said at least two truss bearings, wherein said hardened point section is configured to allow said at least two truss bearings to be mounted back to back to said hardened point section.

A system comprising:
- a hydro screw implement;
- a shaft implement, wherein said shaft implement runs in a center portion of said hydro screw implement;
- a helical gear equipment disposed at a proximate end portion of said shaft implement, wherein said helical gear equipment is a set of helical gears configured to connect said shaft implement to a power shaft of a vehicle;
- a power keel;
- a main bearing equipment housed inside said power keel, wherein said main bearing equipment is a set of main bearings configured to control a rotation and position of said shaft implement;
- a truss bearing equipment, in which said truss bearing equipment comprises at least two truss bearings mounted back to back inside said power keel, wherein said at least two truss bearings are configured to control a float play of said shaft implement;
- a pressure seal implement, wherein said pressure seal implement is configured to separate water or sea on one side and a power keel lubricant on the other side;
- a gap portion, wherein said gap portion is configured to enable water to flow around a proximate end portion of said power keel and out from said hydro screw implement, being operable for creating a pressure relief valve area of said hydro screw implement,
- wherein a hardened point section is disposed between said at least two truss bearings, wherein said hardened point section is configured to allow said at least two truss bearings to be mounted back to back to said hardened point section.
