(Windmill boat). Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6022380
The work reported was to develop and test a system for driving a boat with a propeller connected through gear boxes to a windmill. The boat fitted with this drive was a 20 ft. lapstrake double ended lifeboat. Another lifeboat was fitted with sails for comparison. A boat with a heavy displacement hull was chosen so as to simulate a cargo vessel. One advantage of the windmill over sail is the ability to sail into the wind. (LEW)
