The human body does many things well, but swimming isn't one of them. Yeah, well I can sure outrun any dolphin.

Always dreamed about hulling in a Mermaid, but if I drag that in the boat I’m clubbing & gutting

A fiberglass spar (pole) clamped between the calves holds two oscillating foils of carbon fiber, a wide one at the hips and a narrower one at the feet. A shallow squatting motion makes the foils undulate, creating vortices that push forward against the trailing edge and provide thrust. Make the pole a little longer and you can use your Glutes Also. Bawney Fwank may by one.

He notes that he won't be patenting the Lunocet's design. "If you're taking ideas from nature," he says, "how can you then go to the patent office and say these are mine?" Never stopped anyone else before. Look at some of the patents in the uncoding of the human genome. Entire chain sequences are patented, even though nothing's come out of it yet.

Looks like the same device we put on our outboard motor to make the boat plane out quicker.

I saw an item at an aquatics store a couple months ago that was kinda similar. Basically a large swim fin that both feet go into. It looked cool and was only a couple huindred bucks (iirc), not the $1800 that the article mentions. I’ll see if I can find a link to the product.

So, if this thing is more efficient than a rigid marine propeller, what kind of work is being done to improve marine propellers? Anybody working on propelling ships with fins instead of propellers?
