New propulsion concept

With sufficient tail wind you'd be able to preserve your rocks for the return trip.

 

Sounds reasonable.

But this is different from the "pebbles in pond system" you know?

 

under the pond theory i could toss one pebble and ride a tidal wave across

 

Thats one huge a$$ pebble

 

Actually the bobber(boat) would only rise and fall in the same location while the wave crossed under it.

See wave science section.

 

I just come up with the big ideas I leave the technicalities to others

 

Are you a politician ?

 

I'm an admiral

 

Weird Science

This is similar idea to detonating nuclear bomb(small ones) just behind your stern. If you get timing right, you could go fast.
Or do it with antimatter and create a ripple in the fabric of space and surf your way around galaxy....

Seriously weird propulsion I have used is compress air. I had a 185 cfm compressor on a barge and used it as bow thruster. Interesting thing is that it went toward area of rising bubbles. So air caused water to move to fill were air was acted like air lift. But in spite of tremendous action in water, propulsion was like that of a 5hp outboard. So 70hp produce 5hp of motion....

 

Like getting nothing for something

 

Does this mean you wash dishes?

hope you don't live in a glass house... or even worse, a glass boat!

 

"There was a king who lived in a beautiful castle made of grass. In that house was his prize possession, a golden throne. One day, he got word that the neighboring king was planning to invade and steal the throne. The king decided to hide the throne in the attic. As luck would have it, the ceiling collapsed under the weight and the throne hit the king on the head and killed him. Moral? People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones."

 

Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

 

One version of Winston Churchill's reply to this sort of comment was “This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put.”

The adulteresses should be quite safe because if they get hit the efficiency of the propulsion would drop.
