Title:
PROPULSION DEVICE FOR MOVING BODY USING PRINCIPLE OF PROGRESSIVE WAVES AND METHOD THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/099291
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a propulsion device for a moving body using the principle of progressive waves and a method thereof. A driving section provides a plurality of driving forces and controls the driving forces to be periodically changed according to time such that phase differences may be generated. A plurality of variable members are disposed in series and driven by the driving forces which are supplied by the driving section and independent from each other. Therefore, a propulsion device may be deformed into a desired shape by the plurality of driving forces that are supplied from the driving section, and progressive waves are implemented in the propulsion device via the continuous deformation of shape under the control of the driving section. As the implemented progressive waves progress, a wave front of the progressive waves exerts a force to a fluid or a fixed object in a reverse direction and a method is provided for propulsive force generated by the reaction thereof. In addition, energy loss due to the reciprocating movement or the rotational movement of the conventional propulsion device may be removed, so that a propulsion device with a high efficiency is provided.
