DRIVING METHOD FOR FLOATING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B60F3/00 F41H7/00 

FIELD: transportation, military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: driving method for floating vehicle includes installation of casings on the outside of the vehicle, connected to its hull. Possibility of creation of opened hollows and delivery of exhaust gases to those hollows through exhaust valves and pipelines is provided. Exhaust gases charge from power train to hollows of casings and their release can be regulated with controlled intake and exhaust valves respectively. Initial positive pressures are set in hollows of casings which provide stable vehicle position on calm water. In case of vehicle straight movement and absence of rocking, exhaust gases charging into casings hollows is performed in a smooth manner. In case of straight movement and rocking, tilting motion range is measured and proportionally to it's value exhaust gases supply to hollows from tilt side and opposite side respectively is increased or reduced. In case of turning the exhaust gases supply to hollows from turning side is ceased and from opposite side is increased proportionally to vehicle velocity squared and inversely proportional to the radius of turning.

EFFECT: increase of vehicle stability.
