Have you ever saw this kind Propeller?

cant say i have

can only imagine vertical waves now ( but havent given it a real deep thought )

why mounted at the stern of a so called waveless boat design missing a front prop?

should this not be posted at modern paddlewheels or under the propulsion threads?

must say its inventive

This device works by the viscosity of laminar flow which is increased by the weight of water falling into the v between the 2 wheels. Actually a Tesla turbine might be a better way to use laminar flow as a propulsion medium. Does it have a pass through tube from the front?

But if the disks are solid at those angles, maybe the boat would pivot around the bow!

================================================================
There are not 2 wheels, that's 2 flexible lamina. It is suitable for twin-hull boats that Sinusoid Propeller can put into front or middle of the boat.
