Propeller of a ship - construction

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the construction and design of ship propellers, specifically addressing the blades' angle, pitch, and thickness. Participants are encouraged to explore resources such as the article on nuclear submarine propellers provided by Bob S. This resource offers insights into the complexities of propeller design, essential for anyone looking to create functional marine propulsion systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic hydrodynamics
  • Knowledge of materials suitable for propeller construction
  • Familiarity with design software for modeling propellers
  • Experience with mechanical engineering principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research propeller blade design techniques
  • Explore hydrodynamic modeling software such as ANSYS Fluent
  • Study the effects of pitch and angle on propeller efficiency
  • Review case studies on nuclear submarine propeller designs
USEFUL FOR

Marine engineers, hobbyist builders, and students interested in naval architecture and propulsion systems will benefit from this discussion.

Hi guys I am into construction things, I have learned to construct many things now i am into propellers so can anyone tell me how to construct/ design a simple basic working propeller.
How to construct the blades, at what angle, pitch thickness, etc etc...
any e-book or site where i can i find information..
