So, scaling up the original may quickly hit its limit.
I would like to see it work first on a boat the size of the 18m Melbourne although the target is rather the lighter schooner Vis.
Are you saying that if you could have sourced the steel spring closer to home it could have been cost effective enough to use?
I realize that the prop dimension would be far from ideal, but would this setup also be stable enough from a hydrodynamics point of view to be used as a generator?
Or would that be as problematic as going in reverse?
Do you see any inherent problems using two of those?
What about docking in close quarters using frequent short bursts?
