The mechanical drive of boats includes a motor and a propellant. The engine was first developed with the steam engine, now replaced in most uses by Diesel two-stroke or four-stroke engines, with an outboard petrol engine on smaller units, by a turbine gas on fast ships (NGV, frigates) or by a diesel-electric group for advanced applications. Some advanced machines combine the two systems, as CODAG for Combined Diesel and Gas (diesel and gas turbine combined on used boats for sale by owner).
The ships also took part in great explorations, scientific discoveries and the spread of major crops: Chinese browsers like Zheng He allowed the sharing of inventions such as the compass and gunpowder, while shipments to America broadcast European culture on the continent. If the boats were used for colonization and slave trade, they also served and still serve in scientific research and cultural influence of country.
The term may involve any floating structure that can effectively advance be led (as opposed to the raft), but other names are preferred in some cases: we speak to craft a boat small (of order of few meters long).
On a human-powered boat, a system to control the direction may not be necessary. It is under mechanical propulsion or sailing. The most common device is a rudder, which comprises a rudder blade, immersed in rear plane of shell, steerable to generate a lateral force for rotating the rotating vessel. The rudder is deflected over the bar, manually operated or automatic pilot. The rudder can be removed when the propellant is adjustable: outboard engine pods or Z-drive.
If the house is planned on sailboats because of the wind, it is avoided as much as possible on motor boats: it's a source of discomfort and risk since excessive house can lead to capsize.
From the dugout, it remains almost the keel boats, which continues today in wooden constructions. Meanwhile, the first navigators find that by deploying an animal skin or woven plant canvas, stretched at the end of a pole more or less vertically attached to the bottom of a boat, they can use wind power. Thus began the settlement of Oceania about three thousand years ago. The Romans little innovated in shipbuilding, with the exception of collision Raven system. Their boats are mainly siding planks. Before the introduction of the compass, navigation at sea is mainly by celestial navigation. The use of needles is mentioned in China in the second century BC.
Above the main deck, there are various bodies whose function is sometimes aesthetics. They are generally very low on a sailboat, fully aft on a cargo ship, extending the entire length of a vessel passengers, or divided into several components on tall ships. If each type of boat has its own equipment some devices are common to many types.
Another special form boats are hovercrafts they displace the water while moving, nor slide on it. Instead, they use the ground effect. Surfboats are boats with high-lift, which can overcome strong sea surges due to their special underwater vessel. It should additionally be noted that the sidecar is referred to as a motorcycle boot. Especially in the 1920s and 1930s, the forms of these boats were modeled after the hulls of time.
