Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9323119A1] Novel type of underwater device using a reaction propulsion system. The initial flow entering by a front end turbine (1) is divided into two laminar, partially divergent flows (2) enabling the diver to place himself in the wake of the device. The power supply (3) is built into the device or is externally attached to the diving material, an electrical cable (4) providing the electric power supply. The novel shape of the propulsion means makes it a handy and efficient device, especially suitable for underwater diving.
