A mechanical device with evenly-shaped blades that turn on a shaft to push against air or water, especially one used to propel an aircraft or boat.

definition

A steamboat thus propelled; a screw steamer.

Colonel Stevens, an American, built a small steamboat with a propeller or " screw " for propulsion instead of paddle wheels.

Chrudim was the birthplace of Joseph Ressel (1793-1857), honoured in Austria as the inventor of the screw propeller.

The engines were mounted back-to-back in pairs, with the forward unit driving a tractor airscrew and the aft facing unit a pusher propeller.

These bubbles that are produced then immediately collapse, releasing energy that can cause a cavitation burn on the propeller blades.

Features Features include solid rubber tires, a rotating propeller, racing graphics, padded red seat, wheel pants and front engine cowling.

QinetiQ completed sea trials of a new 2.9 meter diameter composite propeller in Falmouth Bay during July 2003.

The diameter of the screw propeller is two feet six inches with a four foot pitch.

The main feature is the stern section with a bronze propeller, which is still in place.

Incidentally we have decided against a variable pitch propeller.

There is also an imposing bow sprit, together with a large bronze propeller and columns at the stern section.

The rudder is also subject to severe turbulence caused by the ship's propeller.

Frahm,' during an important investigation on the torsional vibration of propeller shafts, measured the relative angular displacement of two flanges on a propeller shaft, selected as far apart as possible, by means of an electrical device (Engineering, 6th of February 1903).

But there are cases in which the motions of both bodies are appreciable, and must be taken into accountsuch as the projection of projectiles, where the velocity of the recoil or backward motion of the gun bears an appreciable proportion to the forward motion of the projectile; and such as the propulsion of vessels, where the velocity of the water thrown backward by the paddle, screw or other propeller bears a very considerable proportion to the velocity of the water moved forwards and sideways by the ship. In cases of this kind the energy exerted by the effort is distributed between the two bodies between which the effort is exerted in shares proportional to the velocities of the two bodies during the action of the effort; and those velocities are to each other directly as the portions of the effort unbalanced by resistance on the respective bodies, and inversely as the weights of the bodies.

She was the world 's first large iron ship and the first to be driven by a screw propeller.

Here he worked on the stress on propeller shafts.

The massive starboard propeller stands clear of the seabed, but the port propeller is buried.

High-pressure steam from this combustion process expands out a rocket nozzle or drives a turbine that turns a propeller screw.

The rudder is also subject to severe turbulence caused by the ship 's propeller.

The technique is applied to the study of the dynamics of sub-millimeter air bubbles in a three-dimensional vortical flow generated by a propeller.

The turbine consists of large blades mounted on a pole or tower like a propeller, either in a horizontal or a vertical format.

These include rings, cages, a cannon, a funnel, a propeller wheel and a teeter-totter.

By air, it's possible to fly in a small propeller jet or in a helicopter.

Not only does the alarm have a loud, emergency siren sound, but a small propeller leaps from the clock and flies around the room.

In order to turn off the alarm, you must catch this propeller, replace it in the base and push it down.

Propeller - This alarm clock has a propeller that spins away when the alarm goes off.

The only way the alarm can be stopped is by getting out of bed, finding and replacing the propeller.

In 2007, Toyota recalled over 15,000 Tundra trucks for problems with the rear propeller shaft joint.

The problem resulted from improper heat-treating of the propeller joint, which could cause the propeller to separate from the shaft.

The Civil Air Patrol's insignia contained a red propeller in the center of the white triangle.

These measurements were utilized in combination with appropriate elastic coefficients of the material to find the horse-power transmitted from the engines along the shaft to the propeller.

The "Thetis" propeller fouled a net laid at the entrance to the harbour and carried it with her.

The engine was an eight-cylinder Antoinette petrol motor, developing 49 horse-power at 1100 revolutions a minute, and driving directly a single metal screw propeller.
