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.
