New Fra I'm Inland NavigaiiOn--ThS Latest
Invention in Steamboats,.
On Thursday last number OF scientific gentlemen n
and others opposed 10 the railroad monopoly met
atTrenton N. j., for the purpose OF witnessing an
experiment OF model steam propeller. The In
ventor Is Mr.. william f. Goodwin OF MetuChen.
M.
The most novel feature OF tie new propeller con-
sists IN having the propelllng wheel placed at the
bow end of the boat instead OF beng at tho stern
The boat Is constructed in the form Of a scow. with
the sides straight and parallel and projecting IN ad.
vance OF the body Of the boat sufficiently to enc
the propeing wheel, made to float upon the surface
OF the water moving or vibrating round the driving
shaiI.
1t mas been considered well settled principle in
navigation that the amount oil water which a boat
Will displace is just the same whatever may be her
form, and that the motive power required to Iorce
the boat through the water can be diminished only
by the employment OF acute angies or sharp lines IN
the construction OF her DOW ana stern. But this
involves considerable expense and dimnishes the
amount OF storage room, besides lsssenng consider
aUly the buoyancy OF the boat. In ike manner
there 10 vacancy created at the stern, which must
De filled by the replacement oil the water before the
boat can proceed. Ii follows tnat the power re.
CURED TO eject this displacement ana replace
ment OF water must exist In addition TO
the power absorbed IN overcoming the inertia
Of the boat itself aud the friction OF the
water upon her bottom and sides. 1t Is known by
actual experiment tnat nine-tentbs OF the power
used In ordinary steamboat. required to dispace
tne water, whe only the remaining one-tenLn IS
sufficient to propel the boat after the water has been
displaced.
The preceding difficulties are al overcome in the
new propeller Tue projecting sides serve the
double purpose Of receiving the entire body OF water
to be displaced and contining 1t while acted upon
and forced down by the Wheel conducting the water
under tue ooat M ana at ne same time preventing the
muncatlng with the water on the outside
