Azimuthal thrusters, Pod drives for ships

Basic principle of the channel thruster
The basic principle of the Verhaar Omega channel thruster is actually quite simple but very effective. With the help of a horizontal propeller water is sucked up from underneath the ship.
Once inside the thruster unit, the volume of water is deflected and guided to the channels via a so-called steering drum, which sets the thrust direction. As the drum ...
