A propeller is a machine component that is used to convert rotational energy into thrust that is used to propel a ship or boat through the water. A propeller consists of several parts, namely:
•Propeller Parts
1. _Propeller_: The part that rotates and produces thrust.
2. _Shaft_: The part that connects the propeller to the engine.
3. _Hub_: The part that connects the shaft to the propeller.
4. _Blade_: The part that is shaped like a wing and produces thrust.
•Propeller Function
1. _Produces Thrust_: The propeller converts rotational energy into thrust that is used to propel a ship or boat.
2. _Controls Speed_: The propeller can control the speed of a ship or boat by changing the angle of the blade.
3. _Saves Fuel_: An efficient propeller can save fuel by reducing energy consumption.
•Types of Propellers
1. _Propeller_: Propeller that uses a propeller to produce thrust.
2. _Jet Propeller_: Propeller that uses a water spray to produce thrust.
3. _Azimuth Propeller_: Propeller that can rotate 360 degrees to produce thrust.
•Benefits
1. _Increase Efficiency_: Efficient propellers can increase the efficiency of ships or boats.
2. _Save Fuel_: Efficient propellers can save fuel.
3. _Increase Speed_: Efficient propellers can increase the speed of ships or boats.
