Voith

A rotating tube at the end of the fin provides a specific boundary layer influence for a flow acting on the ship's hull and a consider- able increase of lift.

Thus in the indirect method even higher transverse forces are reached. In the model test the prin- ciple has been suc- cessfully proven.

The increase com- paredto a conventional Voith Water Tractor is 18 percent. A conversion requires a relatively small expenditure only.

PYI, Inc.

PYI Inc. is known as one of the premier manufacturers and distributors of high quality marine equip- ment and supplies.

The company's

Python-Drive allows the propulsion sys- tem to push your boat, not your engine. Available for engines from 10 to 10,000-hp, the system separates the vibration of the propeller from the vibra- tion of the engine, thus decreasing vibration and noise to deliver a smoother ride and longer equipment life.

Arion International

THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS FOR

SHIPS AND PORTS

Arion International, Inc., has introduced three

Marine Thermal Imaging Cameras for night- time use, collision avoidance, and Model 750 search/rescue.

Unlike image intensifiers that require low levels ^^ ^ ^ of light to operate, thermal cameras require no visible light to operate. The cameras see in total darkness, smoke and some fogs. Three models are avail- able with varying range and performance.
