Jet propulsion system based on the shape of mollusks

Squids, jellyfish and mollusks are thought to be very versatile in moving. Therefore, researchers at Boulder University in Colorado are relying on their shape to create ' whirlpool-generating ' machines that can make underwater vehicles flexible and versatile. more power.

This study may lead to the successful manufacture of flexible jet-powered self-propelled pills used to explore your digestive system.

One of the new designs of jet engine systems was introduced at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.

According to Kamran Mohseni, assistant professor of space science at Boulder University in Colorado, ' flexible stop mechanism is an essential issue in operating submerged vessels, especially in lips. school difficult. So we are looking for a way to balance two fast-moving but inflexible elements . '

Operated or self-operated underwater submarines can discover earthquakes that occur on the ocean floor or the depths of floating ice clusters in South and North. Torpedo-shaped submersibles move very fast but they are difficult to control and stop at slow speeds and in places with narrow spaces and especially it is difficult to move with high accuracy. Box-shaped submersibles are easy to stop and control, but their speed is slow.

According to Mohseni and his colleagues, a new type of whirlpool engine can solve the speed and flexibility of underwater submarines.

This whirlpool engine is built on the principle of a whirlpool of water like vortices created by squid and jellyfish to help them move in water. Whirlpools are created when a stream of liquid is fired from a gap and it moves in a direction that spreads out as it rolls.

In an experiment, the latest design was successful in equating in the country

According to the researchers, the technique could help doctors control the propulsion pills that move through the human digestive system, allowing them to diagnose and prescribe medications.
