Is anyone, or do you know of anyone, interested in the possibility of a totally new concept for marine hull design ? There may be a way to overcome the accepted problems associated with “wave making” a “hull friction”. I am looking forward to a response. Any response, as I’ve been looking for anyon…

you need to communicate with Mr. Anders Bjorkman

I read a few years ago of a ship ‘skin’ that tried duplicating fish scales. I figure this was on the right track for 2 reasons: 1. because of the design of newer golf balls which somewhat duplicate this concept with great success and 2. the idea duplicates some natural fish…(trout In my part of t…

[QUOTE=c.captain;192644]you need to communicate with Mr. Anders Bjorkman[/QUOTE]fff fff I responded at length on this yesterday. it never posted. it’s taken 10 minits to get this written. Until this forum gets unphucked I don’t see much commo happening.

Every time someone claims to have invented something revolutionary, it’s something along these lines: http://www.hydrolance.net/ http://worldmaritimenews.com/archives/154456/viking-shiptech-introduces-80-knot-ships/

in summary, I wrote well about a synthetic fish scale layer for hulls resembling a fish of course… (this works on dimpled golf balls) but in the recess of the scale you have to figure out how to inject a water soluble lubricant… it’d make the hull as slick as a trout.

Why is it that the ones who have the least intelligent contribution to make to a subject always resort to lame attempts at humour ? In the absence of any intelligent contribution please refrain from comment please. Having said this I am puzzled by lack of any comment on this subject in spite of n…

I am amazed at the lack of serious interest in this potentially important subject. It did bring out the tweedy birds from the woodwork however. Unable to make a serious contribution they could not resist lame attempts at humour. Alex Vari

Norwegian innovation.

Not sure about it. I am little bit skeptical, but who knows???
