The "Hydromotor". Vessel moved by hydraulic driving force. Fleischer system. Invention of the German doctor E. Fleischer. The prime mover in the Hydromotor was water. A powerful jet of water, generated by the action of steam on the surface of the water in tanks designed for this purpose, comes out strongly from the sides of the ship, propelling it and giving it movement.
