Introducing the revolutionary ABB Dynafin™ – the latest propulsion innovation by ABB

Do the near vertical blades of the ABB Dynafin design have any advantages regarding entanglement if ropes or ghost fishing nets or clearance of same from the propulsion units - compared to a more traditional shaft propeller or azimuth propellor with nozzle

it's a Voith-Schneider with continuous adjustable blade pitch. Let's see if there will be a legal fight for patent rights.
Anyway, presentations with a Steve Jobs wannabe, looking at the screen of his own video are not the future for sure..

5 mins of marketing bullshit before revealing a mk2 device..

ABB keeps supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the killing and abduction of Ukrainian children. They just signed a new deal where they do maintenance on Russian LNG cargo vessels.
Switzerland will always screw you over.
If I'm ever in a position where I'm deciding if I'll do business with a Swiss company or someone else, I'm gonna choose the someone else.

What happens if you get a prop wrap?

This is the same as a Voith Schneider but with different blades

Excellent. GREAT WORK.

How far you have fallen ABB, taking 100y tech created by Voith-Schneider & presenting it as some sort of innovation

Yeah ready to slice and dice and whale that is unfortunate enough to get to close

A friend of the family built tugs in New Zealand that had Voith-Schneider propulsion in the late 60’s.

This is a Voith-Schneider propeller, invented in 1920, and successfully commercialized by Voith to this day. There are thousands in operation, great propeller! Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but presenting a 100 years old invention as an ABB invention is disappointing.

Is it Batman? Is it Superman? No, it's Janne Pohjalainen!!! TADADADAAA!!!! (Was it pompous enough?) TADDDADDDADDDAAA!!! Autobots rollout! 🤖😂

eine Weiterentwicklung des Voith-Schneider-Propellers von 1926, jetzt mit elektrischem Antrieb.

so an electronic VSP? They were prototyped in 1928. Used more widely in the 1930s.

No scale on the size of the fins. If the concept allows for more cargo to be loaded surely it will come undone if there is a port draft restriction? The complexity of the unit may also put alot of customers off.

Wish they would show in action on model ...

Truly magnificient looking technology. Hopefully it will come thru and see wide range of uses, maybe even with larger cargo ships.

What a facinating concept. I can't wait to look at the specs.
