High Tacker just mounted a conventional land based turbine on a catamaran. Not the best way to do it. He created a monster. It worked but was...
I often wonder, in discussions such as these about the intricacies of exact angle of attack of aerofoils (airfoils). That an assumption is made...
High Tacker I've now asked the same question twice, and this is the third time. If you can't think of an answer please say so. Maybe you are a...
You didn't really answer my question, maybe I didn't make it clear enough. Yes, quite true that drag increases with speed, but so does lift....
Typically, aerofoils produce more lift than drag. (By a large margin). Increasing speed does not affect the lift to drag ratio. Can you explain...
You are certainly right Jeremy about the blade issue and what makes an efficient turbine. But I can't help thinking that a design such as the...
You have certainly put "Windmaster" straight on a few points. However, I followed his linked video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rw_qJytbG8 . It...
It should at least have a wingsail!
We've also been over and over the fact that it was made then etc. etc. (many times). That is not the point. It doesn't mean we can't consider it....
Yes, but the sailboats are not sailing direct to windward are they. However, if you sat in the middle of the plank?
It's now relevant since Windboat the OP has expressed interest in it. Therefore his thread is not hijacked. The boat that Jeremy has envisioned is...
Your partner only sought to set the record straight after you had been "found out" by Windmaster. You were perfectly happy to allow the forum...
Your "brain teaser" didn't appear before April 2006. You cannot show anything to prove otherwise. To suggest that Jack got the idea from you is...

They did do it. But wern't the first. I think that's what Boston means. Despite not being the first, they were very eager to take the credit when...
