PRELIMINARY STUDIES OF A WHEEL PUMP FOR THE PROPULSION OF FLOATING VEHICLES

1969

Ehrlich, I R | Nuttall, Jr, C J

A propulsion device for an amphibious wheeled vehicle is described. This device, which is an integral part of the vehicle wheels, pumps water between the tire rim and the brake drum inboard into a stationary collector which turns the water rearward, thereby generating forward thrust. Results of preliminary tests conducted on a stationary pumping system and when mounted on a M151 1/4-ton truck are presented.
