ABSTRACT:
A hydro-rotor for providing propulsion or generating electricity in a device positioned in water. A hollow tank having a forward and aft tapered end in the preferred embodiment is mounted about a longitudinal axis to a pair of stabilizer plates. A helical flight is mounted circumferentially to the tank and extends from the forward end to the aft end of the tank. An electric motor and power source within the tank drivingly rotates the flight thereby propelling the tank through water. A pair of stabilizer plates extending outwardly of the flight and along the length of the longitudinal axis are controllingly pivoted to radial positions providing directional stability to the craft. The hydro-rotors may be rotatably mounted utilizing stabilizer plates to a ship providing propulsion therefor.
