A Prototype Model of Flap like Propulsion System

This paper is intended to demonstrate the idea of fish/flap like propulsion which is a modification to conventional propulsion system in marine technology. This is a scale down model of a boat name as `TBR 52D' by TBR marines, Germany. After construction of the body adequate size of the fish like propulsion units were fitted on the prototype model. The speed of both flaps with 6V PMDC motor for the prototype float are made with Styrofoam and acrylic sheets. The constructional detail has been laid down and testing the efficiency and power have been calculated.
