wow!

Imagine an olympic 8 rowing boat equiped with this! Holy crap!

Brilliant idea

@kojisitikurac  8 rowers could possible do it if the could some how have a staggered

sequence, each rower delayed a little, not enough to collide, but enough spread out the

power pulse. Nobody has asked how many watts does this guy put out? Did he collapse in purple faced gasping fit immediately after the video shut off?

Better yet, put a hotrodded 49cc weed eater motor on it and make it practical!

@kojisitikurac This is not a rowing boat. If it were, the paddle rate would be too low to work with this, they would not plane. Also, the shifting of weight in the boat would prevent if from happening, and the shape of the stroke.

Das ist wohl die dümmste Erklärung welche ich je gehört habe, warum die Hydrofoils Auftrieb generieren. Es ist doch nicht der Bernouli Effekt (Sog) sondern die leicht abwärts gerichtete Beschleunigung des Wassers, welche als Reaktion Auftrieb macht.. Der bernouli-Effekt hat nur einen verschwindend kleinen Anteil am Auftrieb von Flügeln..

Why not pair the hydrofoils with a rigged trimaran? They may be the crafts for the future, after peak oil. Outstanding demo, Einar!
