Patent ID: 8198773

Claim:
An enhanced electrical motor for use in propelling a water-vehicle, comprising: a. a water-secure motor housing; b. a stator within said housing having first and second ends that rotates about a central axis in a first direction; c. an armature at least partially within said stator having first and second ends that rotates about said central axis in a second direction; d. a first axle extending along said central axis and secured to said stator, wherein said axle rotates in said first direction; e. a second axle extending along said central axis and secured to said armature, wherein said second axle rotates in said second direction; f. centrifugal-force-balancing electrical connection means for providing functioning electrical contacts while operating said motor, wherein said centrifugal-force-balancing electrical connection means includes counter-weight containing electrical contact maintenance means, wherein said counter-weight electrical contact maintenance means comprises: i. at least one brush; ii. a commutator upon which said brush rides for electrical contact during operation of the electric motor; and iii. brush-associated counter-weights for overcoming outwardly directed centrifugal force on each brush, whereby each brush is directed inwardly toward said central axis for maintaining brush-to-commutator contact during operation of the electric motor; and g. a first propeller attached to said first axle having associated blades oriented is a first direction; and h. a second propeller attached to said second axle having associated blades oriented is a second direction.
