Propeller design for leisure electrical motor

We have designed the propulsion system ( propeller + duct-like casing ) for a small electrical motor distributed by a well-known French brand of sporting goods

Matthieu Michou is engineer in energetic systems graduated of Ecole Centrale de Nantes. He co-founded the company Watt&Sea (2009), specialized in hydrogenerators for sailing boats and learnt propeller design for this application.

Camille Letetrel has a PhD in Geo-Sciences and extensive expertise in numerical and hydrodynamic research.

We propose expertise in marine propeller design :

hydrogeneration turbines, where drag has to be optimized
hydrokinetic turbines / tidal turbines, where drag is not a concern
propulsion propellers, especially for electrical driven boats

Our tools have also proved useful for other applications like small-scale wind-turbine propeller design.
