Pocket Stove
POSEIDON
POSEIDON enables divers to reach deeper depths with great speeds and to know the environmental parameters from an integrated LCD screen. The special streamline design and the GoPro-attachable slot in the front appeal to younger generations, while the unique built-in GPS positioning system helps users return to their set locations when the propeller goes into in low-battery mode – making this product the first of its kind.
In order to create highly efficient products with perfect safety, A123 lithium-ion batteries are used because they offer no risk of explosion, therefore reducing stress for divers. At the same time, with 350 watts on one side of the propeller, a noticeable 10 kilograms in total can be propelled with both sides turned on. Structurally, the horizontal length of the product's wings is elongated to help divers cut through the water. With a sturdy frame and a simple silver-grey PA material shell, the propeller has a sophisticated futuristic aesthetic while staying erosion-proof, water-proof and highly stable.
In order to implement the user-friendly ‘smart return’ function, the slots are filled with a hollow glass micro-bead type of buoyant material. This ensures that the body is not affected by the high pressure of the deep waters, and that it would actually float to the surface and start the GPS positioning function after being let go. The integration of technologically advanced features combined with user-friendly design creates an underwater propeller that embodies both functionality and aesthetics, so that it truly enhances the underwater experience.
