The closest analog of the declared utility model is the technical solution described in US patent No. 7207282, which is a device for surfing consisting of a prolonged case with a bypass channel and a chamber, where a drive motor, electric power supply, control device and driving propeller are accommodated.

However, this device has limited functional capabilities.

The technical problem, the declared utility model is designed to solve, is extension of the range of above-water transporter means due to autonomous device movement, including following the user at a distance.

The technical result of the utility model is the improvement of operational characteristics due to extension of individual above-water transporter functional capabilities.

The above technical result is achieved due to the fact that the above-water transporter has a case, which accommodates a motor with a propelling device in the form of a spiral conveyer executed with a bypass channel arranged inside and along the case; it is equipped with a control device and a geolocation device.

The electric motor may be equipped with an electric storage battery.

The case may be executed with a turning device.

The turning device may be executed in the form of a turning motor with a curve sheave.

The control device may be executed in the form of an electronic control unit.

The electronic control unit may have an interface, which is placed on the case surface.

The geolocation device may be executed on the basis of a satellite receiver. The satellite receiver may be GPS and/or GLONASS-enabled.

The case may be executed with a balance weight.

The transporter may be equipped with a water tank. The case may be executed with a port hole for filling the water tank, an electric supply connector, a handle, a freight compartment.

The transporter may be equipped with a video camera.

The case may be executed with a port hole for water filling.

Extension of transporter functional capabilities to improve operational characteristics is achieved due to, particularly but not exclusively, the geolocation device, which allows the transporter to move independently and enhances the mobility of the declared device and ensures independence thereof.

The individual above-water transporter has case 1. Case 1 has handle 2 equipped with accelerator 3, interface 4 of the electronic control unit, video camera 5, port hole 6 for filling water tank 13 and electric supply connector 7 (fig. 1). Case 1 accommodates connected electric storage battery 8, electric motor 9 and spiral conveyer 10, as a propelling device. Case 1 accommodates a turning device in the form of turning motor 11 with curve sheave 12. Curve sheave 12 is set on the end of turning motor 11 shaft, which is controlled by the electronic control unit; it is circumferentially connected to metal cables connected to a circular rudder. Case 1 also accommodates water tank 13, which is connected to port hole 6 for filling the water tank, for example, by means of a flexible hose or directly without adapters. The bottom enclosure of case 1 accommodates balance weight 14, which is needed to ensure steady state position of the device in the water, i.e. it is a ballast to always keep the electronic control unit and video camera 5 overhead above the water, which feature additionally improves performance parameters of the device. The device also accommodates a compartment (not shown) to keep values, documents, and a container for beverages; these features allow to solve the problems of things safekeeping in the conditions of undeveloped beaches and satisfying thirst when far from potable water sources, it ensures additional extension of functional capabilities of the declared device.

The case is executed with tail fin 16.

Inside case 1 there is channel 15 executed as a bypass one. Due to channel 15, for instance, water, in which the transporter is moving, passes through channel 15 and case 1 and hits spiral conveyer 10 and curve sheave 12, due to which movement and change of direction of the transporter is enabled. Channel 15 may be executed along the entire perimeter of case 1 in its cross section, dividing case 1 into the external shell and and the area of motor with a propelling device accommodation as in the above example, or may be a set of channels, which implements this functionality.

The proposed configuration of case 1 has neutral buoyancy due to the case material, which counterweights electric storage battery 8 and electric motor 9. Water tank 13 allows to fill in or vice versa remove water therefrom to preserve neutral buoyancy of the device at various water densities, while additionally improving performance parameters of the device.

The transporter is equipped with a geolocation device, which may be placed inside the case 1. The geolocation device consists of a satellite receiver, by means of which determination of geographical coordinates of the current location is carried out, and a memory unit to store information on about navipoints, routes and history of transporter movement. The geolocation device ensures independent return of the transporter to the point of preset geolocation coordinates, independent return of the device to the start point under condition of critical discharge of electric storage battery 8, movement of the transporter on the route, marked with geolocation points, return of the transporter to the radio beacon carrier, following the radio beacon carrier at a preset distance, synchronization with other similar devices to work in a group, storage of information on its movement, setting of stacking points and repetition of routes on the basis of stored information. The satellite receiver may be GPS and/or GLONASS- enabled.

To implement the above functions, the geolocation device has relevant software.

Video camera 5 can shoot video and photos in the "MasterBuddyChase"® mode (following the master), while ensuring additional extension of transporter functional capabilities.

The transporter is also equipped with a control device, executed in a particular case in the form of an electronic control unit, which may be installed in case 1 and include interface 4. The control device ensures control of electric motor 9 and turning motor 11 , participates in transmission of control signals between the geolocation device and the motor with a turning device for independent movement of the transporter; it also provides communication between all the electronic devices of the transporter. Interface 4 may include a display amd control buttons. The display may be a sensor one.

The electronic control unit may be equipped with a radio-module to connect to the Internet, to connect via mobile communication, as well as a Wi-Fi module to play network games, e.g. Pokemon Go, to transmit video and photos to the Internet, for example, by means of the Periscope service, to listen to audio files.

All the electronic devices of the transporter are executed with waterproofing to protect against moisture in the course of operation.

The device functions as follows.

The device ensures movement on water surface in the course of aquatics activities. In case of surfing the device allows to conquer the "breaking wave" and/or long distances, to come to line up position for surfing/kayaking, it also allows to pick up the speed required to ride the wave. After using, the device may be left at the start position. The "BuddyReturn"® function returns the device to "MasterBuddy"® (master). The "BuddyTracking"® function returns the device to the point of preset geolocation according a predefined route.

The user switch the device on, specifies the destination point and the direction and, while holding the handle, sails to the selected point. Upon arrival to the desired location the user releases the device handle and moves further using a surfboard or another device, while the transporter - depending on selected settings - follows the user, shoots photos/video or returns to the start point, for example, by geolocation points. To maintain communication with the device the user uses a radio beacon, for example, in the form of a watch.

The given instance is a particular case and does not exhaust all possible implementations of the utility model.

Professionals in this field should understand that variations of the declared device do not change the essence of the utility model, instead, they simply define its specific implementations.
