Strategic
Partnerships
We are currently
negotiating
with manufacturing partners and completing the development of the
manufacturing prototype.
We are talking to
marine motor manufacturers, who would like to partner in the most fuel
efficient propulsion system available for many applications.
We are also looking for boat manufacturers, who are interested in marketing boats that
have competitive advantages in fuel
economy, performance, safety, maneuverability and dependability.

Recreational Boat
Manufacturers
Boat building is a
tough business, where a unique competitive advantage can make the difference
between life and death. IntelliJet offers boat builders the opportunity to
create boats with innovative advantages in fuel
economy, performance, safety, maneuverability and dependability.
Marine Electric /
Hybrid
Manufacturers
At lower speeds, IntelliJet
can significantly reduce electric power demand and
still be efficient at higher speeds.
|
Marine Motor
Manufacturers
Boat builders want a complete
propulsion package
which will deliver the expected performance and fuel economy. Marine
motor manufacturers
can better meet this need by partnering in systems that optimize their
motor’s operating conditions. We are interested in discussing the
development and marketing of such propulsion packages with marine motor
manufacturers.
Unmanned Surface
Vehicles
(USVs)
IntelliJet is naturally
controlled by a microprocessor that can interface with other controllers.

300 - 400 hp
IntelliJet technology is
first coming to market in the 300 hp to 400hp size, where we are interested
in talking with motor manufacturers and boat manufacturers. The technology
is directly scalable to smaller and larger sizes, which can all use the same
computer controller.
|
100 - 250 hp
Recreational / Commercial
The 100 hp to
250 hp recreational and commercial boats
and unmanned vessels can also offer innovative efficiency and performance
advantages. |
180 hp
Rigid Inflatables
Aluminum Utility
There is international
demand for 180 hp IntelliJet/diesel systems for rigid-hull inflatables
and aluminum utility boats.
500-1800 hp
IntelliJet technology is readily scaled to larger boats of many types to
achieve higher performance and efficiency. |

This Homeland
Security niche promises to be a growth industry for many years. IntelliJet
has great value in these applications. We are interested in JV
relationships with manufacturers in this field. The design of boats for
special ops is under scrutiny to reduce shock damage to personnel and
equipment from impact in rough water. Historically, a marine jet has
required a relatively flat bottom to get a load up on plane, and the flat
bottom naturally hits the waves hard and causes shock damage. |
The Variable
Marine Jet provides the thrust to get a load up on plane in deep-V hull
designs, which are well known to reduce shock by cutting into the oncoming
wave. This allows the use of more stable, shock-reducing hull designs. IntelliJet Marine is interested in development relationships with boat
manufacturers to develop boats with these advantages. |

The Variable
Marine Jet is the ideal propulsion system for submerged and semi-planing
hulls, which are intended to operate at top speeds up to 50 knots. Such
ships are commonly forced to operate at lower speeds in heavy seas.
|
A propulsion
system based on the Variable Marine Jet is uniquely able to operate
efficiently over a wide range of operating speeds and vessel ladings.
The embedded controller of the Variable Marine Jet is ideal for integration
with controller for the steering and stabilization system to enhance sea
keeping in heavy seas. |
