Fin5, a propellerless electric outboard motor

Quote:
The Fin5 is the first outboard motor from the young French company FinX Motors . After several years of development, the company has finalized the adaptation of its diaphragm technology from industrial pumps to boat propulsion. The distinctive feature of the Fin5 is that it has no propeller. Instead, the propulsion force results from the displacement of a flexible diaphragm by means of magnets, without any rotating parts or gears.

If the motor is as good as their video, Coanda should be proud.
