Whether it breaks the record or not, it's still worth taking that idea as far as it can go. Good luck.
I have no difficulty seeing the advantages of using this material for narrowboats. Most of them potter about on calm water at low speeds and they...
Why would you want to wear something that you end up having to climb into? You've just been ripped off your boat with your safety line breaking...
I'm now thinking the simplest way would be a hole in the stern just above the waterline and with the propeller on a long rod that can be stuck...
The main problem is that you won't want the amas there once you've learned how to handle the boat well and how to right it after a capsize, so...
Of course, if the leading end of the shaft is in air above the waterline, you can just drive that directly and miss out all the magnets, so maybe...
It is absolutely not through the hull. Most of the pipe is inside the boat in air space. The shaft should be aligned such that the stretch of tube...
Don't leave your pedal-powered boat sitting in salt water. That said though, when you've removed the propeller and its extension shaft, you could...
Why would you want to try to make the magnetic connection through the hull? Within the boat you would have a tube containing the propeller drive...
Why would it only work at low speeds? If you have a drive shaft with strong magnets in a stretch of its length, you can then have another set of...
Is it possible to have a drive shaft to a propeller go through the bottom of the transom without any gap for water to get in through by using...
I've been making flutes out of a clear epoxy called Craft Resin and they're strong enough to use as a martial arts baton. You could potentially...
Never be too trusting of the word safe, because it's all relative. A nine volt battery can kill you if you do the wrong thing with it, though you...
I can think of a couple of reasons, but there may be more. Firstly you need the boat to handle waves or chop where if the two ends are providing...
Sail GP is keen on being environmentally friendly (as much as it can be with all the travel involved), so I wonder if they've stuck hydrophones in...
