TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention pertains to a kit for powering a catamaran style water vessel.
BACKGROUND
The present application is directed to a kit for powering a catamaran style water vessel. The includes a water vessel that is designed to safely receive the wheels of a vehicle and the vehicle. The kit allows the water vessel to be powered and steered by the vehicle. The kit can be controlled remotely.
The present invention allows a modern vehicle to be safely secured onto a water vessel and allows the vehicle to serve a motor that will power the water vessel. The vehicle also serves to steer the water vessel. The kit for powering a catamaran style water vessel of the present invention also serves to charge the vehicle on the water vessel.
The present invention addresses the need of having a water vessel that can transport a vehicle in any condition and for any distance without having to depend on the primary motors of the water vessel, for the water vessel has a solar powered generator that can recharge the vehicle, when the vehicle is an electric powered vehicle.
The invention involves placing any car, whether electric or combustion engine-powered, inside a catamaran-like structure and positioning it atop a set of rotating cylinders. These cylinders are secured by devices that tightly affix the car's wheels onto the rotating cylinders, whether these devices are manually operated or powered by electricity. This arrangement enables the car to be driven as a yacht on the open sea and to be driven electrically via a remote control that would be installed on the car's steering wheel.
The closest technical cases to the current invention are as follows:
A watercraft manufactured in the United States with the identification number U.S. Pat. No. 8,764,499B1. However, it does not align with the practical requirements of life for the following reasons:
- 1—Limited production due to its high price;
- 2—It doesn't match modern cars in terms of appearance and safety features;
- 3—It's made of lightweight materials and doesn't require additional weight; and
- 4—Not suitable for long-distance travel.
The expedition boat is equipped to withstand harsh conditions thanks to its V-shaped design, as it can launch in rough waters, and can move at speeds of up to 82 km/h on the water. It is not compatible with the requirements of life for the following reasons:
- 1—It is available at a very high price;
- 2—Tracks like those used in tanks (iron chains), for which the company owns a patent, the yacht can climb onto sandy beaches and travel on paved roads;
- 3—Safety measures have many restrictions, and if you do not adhere to them, you and your vehicle may suffer a lot of damage; and
- 4—Its technical malfunctions are many and frequent.
Rain speed Splash This is the most unusual amphibious vehicle. Unlike most amphibious vehicles, this vehicle moves on the surface of the water through folding skis. It was created in 2004.
The service boat can be used to clean lakes, ponds, or similar areas, for example on golf courses, which includes a floating structure on which the golf tractor is supported with the rear wheels of the tractor driving a water-propelled wheel, which was created in France in—2003FR2838707 (A1).
It is intended for cleaning lakes, ponds, and golf courses, meaning it is not intended for the sea for reasons including:
- 1—Because the plungers are not high to break the waves, they are intended for ponds and golf courses, their plungers are wide and short, so they are not suitable for the sea;
- 2—The issue of installing an agricultural tractor on it, means that it is not suitable for any car because it requires a powerful device for such work, and it is not possible to bring any car in and out of it;
- 3—It is slow and cannot transport passengers and goods, unlike my invention;
- 4—The agricultural tractor is heavy and produces significant carbon dioxide emissions;
- 5—It is exposed and this may cause malfunctions in it;
- 6—There is no additional gallon to fill the agricultural tractor; and
- 7—It has great safety features, especially since the wheel of the rear agricultural tractor is large and dangerous at the same time when people climb on it.
A habitable floating group for promenades on rivers and canals, which was constructed in France in—1990FR2645498 (A1). It is also not suitable for navigation for reasons:
- 1—There is no additional engine in case the car breaks down or an additional steering wheel;
- 2—It takes single-wheel drive cars, which creates a problem for the rest of the cars;
- 3—Slow because of the floating group, as it is intended for rivers and canals;
- 4—The lack of safety measures in it, which is that the exhaust exits from the car into the cabin or cabin located behind the car, and thus it is dangerous when the exhaust mixes with the air conditioner inside the cabin or cabin in which it is located; and
- 5—There is no additional fuel tank in the boat, so it is suitable for hiking and not for long travel.
Hydrogen propulsion for boats, number U.S. Pat. No. 3,625,176A, which was made in America. The invention relates to a system and method for propelling boats by one or more seaplanes. It is intended for racing and is not compatible with the current invention for reasons including:
- 1—The boat and the boat's propulsion engines are intended for racing and not for picnicking;
- 2—The steering rudder at the back of the speedboat is slow to turn in order to avoid capsizing, but at the same time it is not possible to avoid any nearby object at high speed;
- 3—The water enters from the middle of the boat through the propulsion pumps, which stabilize the boat for high speed, but the boat cannot be driven quickly in medium-height waves due to the adhesion of the boat body to the sea surface. It also weakens the use of the two submersibles, causing the boat to shake and cause damage;
- 4—Difficulty seeing due to the high bow of the boat; and
- 5—The device that cleans the front of the pump affects the steering wheel at the back of the boat when removing exhaust and weeds, making it difficult to steer if seaweed gets stuck in it.
An amphibious recreational vehicle (mobile home, four-wheel drive trailer, and the like), which was manufactured in the United States and was sent on Nov. 14, 2003. The vehicle has two supports with wheels that enter the body of the vehicle when driving on the road and open in the water, but they:
- 1—Heavy because the columns or aids that lift the two supports are susceptible to damage due to being lowered to the ground and walking on them;
- 2—It cannot travel on rough roads; and
- 3—It needs a designated place to lower it into the sea because there is a distance between the front and rear wheels,
while my invention allows any car to be driven on a yacht and it does not need a designated place to lower it into the sea.
An amphibious raft, which was made in New Zealand and was published on Jun. 13, 2002, with the international publication number WO 02/45978AI. The raft consists of four wheels, two wheels in front close together surrounded by two supports on the side to make it easier to lower the front wheels and the rear wheels behind the two supports, but it also:
- 1—Exposed to the body, and this may affect the devices in it;
- 2—The front wheels obstruct the vision of the vehicle driver; and
- 3—It is not suitable for sailing long distances due to sea waves.
An amphibious yacht that operates with electric propulsion, which was manufactured in and whose order number is 20212057612/X, dated Mar. 19, 2021, as the amphibious yacht operates with electric propulsion for a group of wheels that helps it move on the roads, as the wheels have propellers installed on the wheels to propel them in the water as soon as they descend, and that is when the yacht lands on the water, its wheels turn into propellers to propel the yacht, but they:
- 1—The fans are exposed, and some grass may be stuck to them, hindering their movement;
- 2—The wheels do not have shock-absorbing devices, which leads to the breakage of one of their arms when moving on the roads; and
- 3—When driving on the roads, there will be a lot of vibrations, causing a misalignment in the gears.
