IntelliJET Design Incorporates Continuously Variable Power Transmission (CVT) for Boats and Ships
IntelliJET Marine, Inc. has commenced fabrication of an advanced version of its variable geometry jet drive incorporating a continuously variable power transmission (CVT), now becoming the standard in automobiles.
Redmond, WA (PRWEB) May 5, 2005 -- IntelliJet Marine, Inc. is making rapid
progress in the development of marine propulsion technology acquired from Marine
Jet Technology Corp in January of this year.
The company has commenced
fabrication of an advanced version of its variable geometry jet drive
incorporating a continuously variable power transmission (CVT), now becoming the
standard in automobiles. “Existing marine jets utilize a fixed drive system that
hasn’t been seen in automobiles since the Model T,” says Jeff Jordan, President
of IntelliJet Marine, Inc. “The IntelliJET is naturally expected to enhance fuel
economy and engine life in boats, just as transmissions have in
automobiles.”
The company believes that this system’s superior
performance will answer the strong expressed desire from consumers for greater
reliability and economical operation in boats. “We expect this technology to
offer manufacturers the opportunity to reduce their product liability insurance
without sacrificing performance,” Jordan says, “which should provide motivation
on that end, and ease the acceptance of the IntelliJET in the recreational
boating industry.”
Management has also found strong interest for
military, homeland security, and commercial applications. The Intellijet
technology is under consideration by a prominent marine architecture firm for
inclusion in several military craft. Jordan has been selected to present this
technology at MACC, the Multi-Agency Craft Conference sponsored by the US Navy
this month in Norfolk, Virginia. Mr. Jordan has also been accepted as a
presenter at the 2005 High Speed Ship and Craft Symposium sponsored by the
American Society of Naval Engineers in Everett, Washington on July 19 and 20.
