Development Of Jet Propulsion: Hydropulse

Scuba diving provides unparalleled opportunities for recreation and therapeutic experiences, yet the current systems are not adequately designed for individuals with specific physical disabilities, particularly those with lower limb amputations or congenital limb absence. This research paper investigates the potential of jet propulsion systems specifically designed to enhance underwater mobility for divers with leg amputations. The study introduces an innovative approach involving customized jet propulsion units integrated into dive suits or modular devices that can be easily attached to existing scuba gear. These systems utilize directed water jets to facilitate movement and stability, thus providing a viable alternative to traditional fin-based propulsion methods. Key metrics include propulsion efficiency, ease of use, and the psychological impact on participants Ultimately, the study aims to contribute to a more inclusive diving environment, where technological innovations play a pivotal role in overcoming physical barriers and expanding opportunities for all individuals.

Abstract

Scuba diving provides unparalleled opportunities for recreation and therapeutic experiences, yet the current systems are not adequately designed for individuals with specific physical disabilities, particularly those with lower limb amputations or congenital limb absence. This research paper investigates the potential of jet propulsion systems specifically designed to enhance underwater mobility for divers with leg amputations. The study introduces an innovative approach involving customized jet propulsion units integrated into dive suits or modular devices that can be easily attached to existing scuba gear. These systems utilize directed water jets to facilitate movement and stability, thus providing a viable alternative to traditional fin-based propulsion methods. Key metrics include propulsion efficiency, ease of use, and the psychological impact on participants Ultimately, the study aims to contribute to a more inclusive diving environment, where technological innovations play a pivotal role in overcoming physical barriers and expanding opportunities for all individuals.
