14 DAY TRIAL // Designers HoYeon Kim, Gangyoon Chang, Jiman Lee and Kiwon Lee think that boat motors currently in use are by no means as fish and people friendly as they should be.
This is because the blades that they pack are a threat to all living and swimming creatures that make the mistake of coming too close to them.
Looking to solve this problem, they have come up with an innovative concept for a bladeless boat motor that uses pressurized air to keep the boat that it is fitted onto moving.
According to these designers, their concept motor would suck air from its surroundings, guide it towards a set of inner turbines, pressurize it, and then expel it, TrendHunter informs.
This last step, i.e. releasing the air, would provide enough thrust and power to get the boat in motion, and keep it going at a fairly impressive speed, the same source details.
This innovative concept is dubbed the Air Booster Motor. While some might find the idea of having one such motor power boats of the future appealing, it must be said that, as mentioned, HoYeon Kim, Gangyoon Chang, Jiman Lee and Kiwon Lee are designers, and not engineers.
Hence, as good as their idea might sound on paper, it could be a while until the first Air Booster Motor hits the market. Provided that this will ever come to happen, that is.
