High-Speed Jet Propeller

[waveless]

Jet engine erupt high pressure gas at the end of the tail. If the pressure gas erupt to the bottom of a boat and form a air bad, it prevent friction between water and boat.

What do not design this kind boat?

It's as good as anything else nature has tried.

The language barrier is extra tough this time, maybe your translation software needs improvement.

All joking aside, squids do use jet power.

Hey how about steam power - just found this for you.



From this article:
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn3321

A revolutionary new steam engine, described by its inventors as "an underwater jet engine", may soon be powering dinghies and speedboats more efficiently, cleanly and safely than a conventional outboard motor.

Waveless,

What is your first language? Many times it is not easy to understand you. You have a lot of enthusiasm for ideas, but sometimes you need to communicate better.

Its amazing what you find out about any possible subject if you take the time. Good show!!

I want a pair of those Pursuit Dynamics engines... would be just perfect for my 15-footer....

As to the jet-turbine-underwater-exhaust... big problem here when it comes to starting. To start a gas turbine requires absolutely no obstruction of the exhaust; any back pressure as you crank the turbines stops it from starting. So you'd need a lot of bypass valves and such. And the sheer volume of gas produced would make it hard to keep the boat on the water instead of airborne. Could be done, of course... anyone want to take it on?

And I thought it was because Amsterdam has all the good weed.

My secret is that when doing a Google search I select "Images" not "web" then click search. I then select the most interesting pictures which of course have links to full fledged sites. This method jumps over many language barriers, so you could end up on Russian sites or even more exotic places and languages. It's an adventure to say the least.
