EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the innovative Hydromotor Ship, invented by Dr. Emil Fleischer of Dresden in September 1881. A significant departure from traditional maritime technology, this vessel was not propelled by a propeller or paddle-wheel, but rather through the mechanism of drawing in and shooting out streams of water. The Hydromotor Ship marked a groundbreaking moment in nautical history, as it offered a new means of propulsion and steering. Dr. Fleischer's invention, which was not affiliated with any specific company at the time, gained international attention and was showcased at various exhibitions. The Hydromotor Ship's unique design was based on the principles of hydrodynamics, utilizing the water resistance created by the intake and expulsion of water to move the ship forward. This method also allowed for steering by adjusting the direction of the water jets. The Hydromotor Ship, with its unconventional appearance, was an important precursor to modern water jet propulsion systems. Although it did not immediately replace traditional propellers and paddle-wheels, it paved the way for further advancements in maritime technology. This engraving is a testament to the ingenuity and curiosity of the human spirit, as well as the relentless pursuit of innovation in the realm of transportation. This image, an intriguing glimpse into the past, offers a fascinating look at the Hydromotor Ship and the visionary mind of Dr. Emil Fleischer. The engraving, produced in 1881, is a valuable historical document that continues to inspire wonder and curiosity about the potential of water as a powerful force for propulsion.
