Definitions
- the present invention relates to a non-motorized means of transport for navigating in calm water on lakes and streams and also by the sea.
- This type of boat is intended mainly for the use of vacationers who love sports. nautical pleasure.
- the "VELOCANO” combines the merits of the pedal boat with the maneuverability of the canoe (kayak). It is powered by a mechanical element comprising at least one propeller or turbine which is rotated in a geared down manner under the action of the pedals. The whole is studied in order to improve comfort, stability, handling, aerodynamics and ergonomics.
- the "VELOCANO" can exist in a single-seat and two-seat version mainly.
- FIG. 1 shows a view of said embodiment, the central part of which reveals certain elements through the cross section.
- the “VELOCANO” is a non-motorized means of transport for pleasure to navigate in calm water on lakes and streams and also by the sea. It combines the merits of the pedal boat with the maneuverability of the canoe (kayak) . It is propelled using a mechanical element comprising at least one propeller or turbine which is rotated in a geared down manner under the action of the pedals.
- the "VELOCANO” is designed to improve comfort, stability, handling, aerodynamics and ergonomics.
- the “VELOCANO” can be offered in a monohull version to be similar to the current canoe (kayak), but it can also be offered in a multihull version. In both cases, the “VELOCANO” can exist mainly in the single-seat and two-seat version.
- the propeller can be hidden in a nozzle located in the hull of the "VELOCANO" to provide a suction effect and produce a jet of water which gives increased propulsion.
- this mechanical element is called a “pedal turbine”.
- the “pedal turbine” with which the “VELOCANO” can be fitted is an invention in itself. It may be of the same type as that which is used for watercraft, but however without an engine, the turbine or the propeller being put into rotation under the action of the pedals.
- the "VELOCANO” can be fitted with a rudder and the vacationer can also simply use an oar to steer and carry out navigation maneuvers.
- the “pedal turbine” can be steerable or non-steerable: In the case of the “turbine with steerable pedals, a mobile part located at the rear, the "nozzle”, will be actuated by a handlebar or by a joystick to the right or to the left and will allow to modify the trajectory of the boat due to the propulsion procured the turbine in action. In the case of the non-steerable “pedal turbine”, the part located at the rear of the turbine will remain fixed.
- variable speed “pedal turbine” As on a bicycle, the “pedal turbine” can be fitted with a speed variator so as to balance the energy supplied by the user as a function of the speed of the vehicle. boat on the water.
- the “pedal turbine” with freewheeling effect To simulate the freewheeling effect of the bicycle, the “pedal turbine” with freewheeling effect is provided with a freewheeling drive. At full speed, well launched, if the user stops pedaling, the turbine will continue to rotate for a certain time and thus propel the boat for this duration.
- the desired effect is obtained thanks to a disc of a certain weight whose reduction in rotation makes it possible to accumulate energy to simulate the freewheeling effect.
- a dynamo coupled to a small battery will accumulate energy and, if necessary, activate a small electric motor.
- a blocking device can be installed if necessary. However, this device will not necessarily brake the boat but will simply stop the turbine or propeller.
