By drawing in a small amount of air from the intake, pressurizing it using an impeller, and squirting it through the outlet, this generates a pressure imbalance and a considerable amount of thrust, which extends the full length of the cylinders. I'm having a problem seeing how that doesn't consume as much or more power than it "saves". You know, that whole law of conservation of energy thing.

The latest instance of a PMM - perpetual motion machine. I assume someone is sucking on the teat of government grants to push this idiocy.

According to Zha, this makes for a very effective wind propulsion system

Or, if there is a hell of a lot of wind like in a major typhoon or North Sea blow— what then. These don’t appear to be retractable back into the ship. Oftentimes ships have to power INTO the wave force direction to survive a storm, and not be broken in two.

Based on the tonnage of heavy things like cars that come halfway across the world to us and are competitive with our own industry, what’s the big deal about a more efficient cargo ship?

Stupid post.

It doesn’t save energy. It gets energy from the motion of air molecules.
