Innovation for life on
and under the water
Hydro Impulse sets new standards for marine drive systems. The revolutionary impeller system transmits the power to the water with greater efficiency for a higher range with less energy input, on top of more boating fun while also protecting the underwater world more effectively.
Reinventing maritime transport.
We have set ourselves a major task: to fundamentally change the way boats are driven. At our headquarters in Graz, Austria, we are redeveloping the impeller approach for sterndrives with in-house technology and plenty of experience gained in the aviation industry.
Simply better driven
Improved
efficiency,
higher range
Compared to classic propeller drives, Hydro-Impulse achieves significantly higher thrust with the same energy input. Or, to put it another way: it makes the same driving style considerably more affordable.
Safe and
eco-friendly
On the impeller, all movable parts are encased in a housing, making them safe for swimmers, divers and above all the maritime eco-system.
Suitable for a wide range of uses
Hydro Impulse can easily be integrated into almost all of the standard boat types with sterndrive and is also compatible with outboard engines.
Boating fun at all levels
The consistently high efficiency across all speed ranges and practically no cavitation make boating a very special experience. Especially, since it creates less noise, runs smoothly and permits precise steering even in shallow water.
Double-digit improvement in efficiency, and more!
At least 15% reduction in energy consumption.
-
The Hydro Impulse significantly cuts fuel costs for combustion and hybrid boats, and energy costs for electric boats. It allows for lower-powered engines, reducing investment costs and necessary battery capacity, saving on costs, weight, and space.
-
The Hydro Impulse seamlessly integrates with major drive systems, including outboards, sterndrives, pod drives, and shaft drives. It is compatible with both electric and combustion engines.
-
The Hydro Impulse can be used with existing boats and ships without modifications, thanks to its drive system interfaces, allowing for an easy swap. It optimizes existing propulsion systems without requiring engine or equipment replacements.
-
The Hydro Impulse, as a PumpJet, is one of three technologies identified by the SATURN 2020 project to significantly reduce underwater radiated noise. This helps mitigate noise pollution’s negative impacts on marine life, promoting a sustainable marine environment.
-
The Hydro Impulse’s covered rotating parts significantly reduce injury risks, benefiting families, especially children, and professionals like divers and lifeguards. It also minimizes potential damage to the Hydro Impulse itself.
