ABSTRACT:
A water wheel for providing both flotation and propelling forces. The water wheel includes a disc made up of a pair of side walls spaced apart in their center area and joined at their peripheries to define a cavity. Paddle members are fixed to the outside of the disc, and have a curved working surface for acting against water as the wheel rotates. The leading edge of the paddle members cuts into the water without creating turbulence, and water flow over the rest of the paddle member is smooth.
