Abstract

This paper represents an innovative rowing assistant - called Power Oar (Pat. pending). Power Oar is a rowing booster, which allows a rower to row with normal movements but with less power. The system is related to power steering and power-assisted bicycle. In Power Oar the regular oarlock is replaced with a combination of an electric motor and a gear. The torque (current) of the motor is controlled by the rowing force of the human rower. The technical development and performance tests of the prototype are described and finally a market research is reviewed shortly.
