  • Thanks, nice video :)

    Did you know there is / has been serious research into "fish tail propulsion" for ships instead of rotating propellers?

  • Hi again! It's been a while. I am not surprised by your comment - nature does seem to have the upper hand when it comes to efficient designs. I'm sure I've seen a propeller in the shape of a 3d cone/vortex/shell design/helix too. A bit like an archimedes screw but conical. Tried to find a link by can't find the right search terms yet....

    Posting a couple of videos again tomorrow - a couple of recent projects.

    Kind regards, Geoff.
