We're on vacation down east, and took the ferry to PEI on Wednesday. The ferry had a bulletin board with a photo of something called a "Voith Schneider Propeller". I didn't know what that meant, so I texted it to myself to look up when I next had internet. That is now.



So cool!

They are very cool. I saw a discovery channel show on a tug that had those. Incredibly agile in the water.

very geeky, but cost me about an hour of wikipedia surfing last night. i basically started there and kept going through all kinds of propulsion systems!

The Wikipedia vortex. I did the same thing at work on Thursday, only I started from reading a blurb somewhere about the Watchmen movie. At least you learned something potentially useful about propulsion systems, all I read about was comic books! (Ahem, sorry, "graphic novels").
