Mohsen Bahmani (born 10 January 1988)[citation needed] is an Iranian-German inventor and mechanical engineer known for his innovations in hydraulic flotation devices and fuel-efficient propulsion systems. He has been granted multiple patents and has received recognition at international invention competitions. Bahmani’s work spans a wide range of technologies aimed at improving mobility and energy efficiency.
Early life and education
Bahmani was born in Iran on January 10, 1988, and after completing his education with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, his academic pursuits led him to Germany, where he successfully completed a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), positioning himself for his future innovations in mechanical engineering.
Career and inventions
Early inventions
Bahmani gained international recognition for his invention of hydraulic water-walking shoes, which enable users to walk on water surfaces. The device, which follows techniques used in hovercrafts, was first introduced at the Geneva Inventions Fair in Switzerland in April 2008, where he finished as runner-up among 1,200 inventors from 45 countries.[1][user-generated source?]
The invention received coverage in Spanish and Catalan media, with newspapers describing the device as a catamaran-like system that allows walking on water through hydraulic mechanisms.[2]
British author and philosopher Alain de Botton also mentioned Bahmani and his invention in his 2009 book The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work, describing meeting him at a London entrepreneurs’ convention and his efforts to create shoes that allow walking on water.[3]
Recent developments
In recent years, Bahmani has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Mansory Design & Holding GmbH on advanced drone and propulsion technology. The MOU focuses on developing a fuel-efficient thrust-generating system designed to extend drone flight times and reduce their physical footprint for urban applications.[4]
Bahmani and his co-inventor Hossain Vafaey have advanced a propulsion technology to generate thrust force in a novel method that differs from conventional systems such as propellers and jet engines currently used in aircraft and other aerial vehicles. This technology has been patented and received a grant from the European Patent Office. It operates using multiple small-scale reaction engines such as electric ducted fan (EDF) units driven by brushless DC motors that run along a looped track and exert centrifugal force as described in the patent documentation. The result is a fuel-efficient thruster engine that can be attached to various vehicles or platforms requiring applied force.[5]
According to Mansory, Bahmani's propulsion system can significantly reduce the width of vertical take-off and landing drones (such as passenger eVTOLs) while doubling their flight time compared to conventional propeller-based systems. This improvement makes them more suitable for urban environments by allowing take-off and landing in confined spaces.[6] The project has also been featured in video demonstrations showcasing the technology’s capabilities.[7]
In a 2025 interview with the German broadcaster Baden TV, Bahmani discussed his long-term work as an inventor and his efforts to develop propulsion systems capable of redefining mobility, including potential applications in flying cars and drones.[8]
