Internet was down for 2 days, hence the delay in reply. I am going to delineate some of the underlying considerations which led me to my...
You are implicitly raising the "LNL" design paradigm: long, narrow and light. You should add the following additional design criteria:...
I expect my design to be more stable in pitch, roll and yaw. In smooth water, there is no problem, obviously. Unstable sea states are more...
2nd prototype almost complete. Awaiting parts now. First prototype was constructed to test the theoretical prediction that an integrated design...
Look at the planform from above (or below). Dynamically, it's a water breathing ramjet. The propellors serve to maintain closed system flow....
Hull speed is an artifact of an open dynamic system. It is reached when the wavelength of the bow wave couples with the waterline length under...
The patent is available for all to see at the WIPO site (assuming you know how to do a search properly).
The patent issues 3/31/2015. My patent counsel will forward the letters patent forthwith. I will check the USPTO website at USPTO.gov at that...
I would have posted this on the hull speed forum, but it appears that my last posting is too old (367 days). Background: I've beaten hull...
asymptotic limits You're missing the context of the system description: The system under consideration is neither open nor entirely closed....
re: asymptotic closure Insofar as an asymptote is a limit, it is also useful in defining a "fuzzy" system. At the limits of the flow of the...
I've done what I said I would in my earlier posts: I've set out my research in some detail. With that in mind, I'll be abandoning this thread for...
re: paddle wheel steamer Yes, the side wheelers were on the right track, insofar as they (almost) put the propulsion system in the right place...
Re: hull speed solution Try this on for size. It's oversimplified, but will do for a first approximation. Assume smooth water for the first...
