Synopsis

This book offers an insightful look into the mechanics behind propeller performance in water. Written in 1850, the author conducted in-depth examinations of the physical mechanics of screws used to propel ships, creating mathematical models to explain concepts such as the surface of vanishing pressure and the related hydrodynamic forces. By establishing relationships between forces acting on screws and the moment of engine force, the author deepened the understanding of propeller design optimization. The research presented in this book contributed to theoretical developments in the design of more efficient and effective propellers for ships that would advance the capabilities of seafaring in the years to come.
