Motorized kayak
View Patent ↗Disclosed herein is a motorized kayak comprising: a hull; a hatch; a motor; a pump; a controller; and one or more batteries; wherein the hull and hatch create a water and air tight seal and the position of the batteries is adjustable to change the center of gravity.
1. A motorized kayak comprising:
a waterproof hull;
a waterproof hatch removably connected to the waterproof hull;
a power pod system comprising a first electric motor, a controller system, a throttle system, and a battery system, wherein the power pod system is disposed within the waterproof hull beneath the waterproof hatch, wherein the controller system further comprises a sensor system, at least one secondary electric motor connected to the battery system, and at least one processor configured to
receive data from the sensor system,
to calculate an optimal position for the battery system,
and to operably move the power pod system using the at least one secondary electric motor; and
a pump disposed within the waterproof hull, wherein the pump is connected to the first electric motor.
2. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the position of the battery system is adjustable for relocating the kayak's center of gravity.
3. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the throttle system is disposed within a paddle.
4. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the throttle system is in radio communication with the controller system.
5. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the throttle system is configured to transmit data to the controller system, and the controller system is configured to receive data from the throttle system, and wherein the controller system generates an output and provides it to the battery system to alter a power delivered to the motor.
6. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the sensor system provides data related to the kayak's angle of orientation.
7. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the sensor system comprises at least one accelerometer.
8. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the sensor system comprises an inclinometer.
9. The motorized kayak of claim 1 , wherein the pump is a water jet pump for propelling the kayak.
10. A motorized kayak comprising:
a waterproof hull;
a waterproof hatch removably connected to the waterproof hull;
a power pod system comprising a first electric motor, a controller system, a sensor system, and a battery system, wherein the power pod system is disposed within the waterproof hull beneath the waterproof hatch,
and wherein the controller system is operably connected to the sensor system, at least one secondary electric motor connected to the battery system, and at least one processor configured to
receive data from the sensor system,
to calculate an optimal position for the battery system,
and to operably move the power pod system by generating an output and providing it to the battery system to alter a power delivered to the second electric motor,
and wherein the position of the battery system is adjustable for relocating the kayak's center of gravity;
a paddle comprising a throttle system in radio communication with the controller system; and
a pump disposed within the waterproof hull, wherein the pump is connected to the first electric motor.
11. The motorized kayak of claim 10 , wherein the throttle system is configured to transmit data to the controller system, and the controller system is configured to receive data from the throttle system, and wherein the controller system generates an output and provides it to the battery system to alter a power delivered to the first electric motor.
12. The motorized kayak of claim 10 , wherein the sensor system provides data related to angle of orientation.
13. The motorized kayak of claim 10 , wherein the sensor system comprises at least one accelerometer.
14. The motorized kayak of claim 10 , wherein the sensor system comprises an inclinometer.
15. The motorized kayak of claim 10 , wherein the pump is a water jet pump for propelling the kayak.
16. A motorized kayak comprising:
a waterproof hull;
a waterproof hatch removably connected to the waterproof hull;
a power pod system removably connected to the waterproof hull, the power pod system comprising a first electric motor, a controller system, a sensor system, and a battery system, wherein the power pod system is disposed beneath the waterproof hatch, and wherein the position of the battery system is adjustable for relocating the kayak's center of gravity;
a paddle comprising a throttle system in radio communication with the controller system, wherein the throttle system is removably connected to the paddle, and wherein the throttle system is configured to transmit data to the controller system, and the controller system is configured to receive data from the throttle system, and wherein the controller system generates an output and provides it to the battery system to alter a power delivered to the first electric motor; and
a pump disposed within the waterproof hull, wherein the pump is removably connected to the first electric motor.
17. The motorized kayak of claim 16 , wherein the controller system comprises at least one processor configured to receive data from the sensor system and calculate an optimal position for the battery system, and wherein the position of the battery system is adjustable by a second electric motor.
