Series: Marine Engineering and Technologies %D 2012 %I Astrakhan State Technical University %X The structure and field of the application of a new design of a water-jet motor are considered in the paper. This engine is capable of competing with internal-combustion engines, which are traditionally used for water transport. The engine can also be applied in the fields of technology, where there is a need for pumping non-flammable fluids. %K water-jet motor %K internal-combustion engine %K ship self-cost %K energy saving %U http://astu.org/content/userimages/vestnik/file/sea_2012_1/19.pdf
