ABSTRACT:
A propulsion system for a ship is capable of launching a mass of water with a high hydraulic performance. The system comprises a water intake conduit for providing a passage for aspirated water which is then propelled by blades attached to a rotor which continuously rotates inside a chamber. A rotary valve obturator is located adjacent the rotor. The rotary valve obturator is synchronized with the rotor by continuously rotating in a direction counter to the rotor for separating the intake water from the discharged water. The aspirated and propelled water inside the chamber is then discharged through a water discharge conduit which causes the ship to move.
