My son did a science fair experiment in middle school on MHD propulsion using varying amounts of salinity. He ended up going to the Intel ISEF competition in 2010 with it. It was really a lot of fun and exciting to see this principle in action. The most astounding part was the incredible amount of corrosion on the electrodes in a very short period of time. It is a very interesting concept with the limitations as outlined in the video still needing to be worked out.

[@kittytrail]

the limitations stated in this video are only relevant to the stupid "propulsion only" concept of this ship. MHD can be used to nullify friction losses both in air(see them russkies hypersonic missiles) or water(see them fast torpedoes of same russkies).

4:40 high magnetic field strength is not the only way to make these drives more efficient. There are 3 ways, read the papers that modeled the ducted scale model. That being said, more electric topologies that aren't bladed are good as long as the acoustics are minimized as well.

[@michiganengineer8621]

The existing FinX outboard looks interesting, especially if they can come up with a membrane material that is more resistant to seawater. The wavy fins I suspect will have too many moving parts exposed to the water. It MIGHT be good for fresh water use. As far as an MHD drive, The Plasma Channel and a few others have already built small units, and the USN has experimented with them on a larger scale. As you stated, a HUGE power requirement as well as corrosion issues were/are major drawbacks. As is a very limited amount of thrust. The corrosion problem MIGHT be able to be fixed, or at least mitigated, if literally everything in contact with the water is coated. Possibly with a thin layer of ceramic.

[@ChainsawFPV]

Very cool. Would love to see more on this design.

[@SCARLETBIRDS]

we already use fin type systems on kayaks for shallows, maybe we should scale that up instead using buoyancy neutral materials to reduce the energy needed to move the fins, or maybe use moving air and water to make them move by controlling buoyancy to create force, either way this would be way quieter than a propeller with far less depth or energy restrictions if mastered

[@DanFrederiksen]

The little drum engine doesn't seem effective to my engineering sensibilities but I could be wrong. What about an actual dolphin style fin instead. That should be large enough to have some traction and should be rather quiet. Might be hard to beat a continuous rotating prop though.

Magneto drive.. From front of the boat to the back.. Inside hydrogen will be made and that will fight to rise inside the tube. Longer tube = Catch more hydrogen. Less than in salt water but extra boost if using a mini-cold steam boiler system. A small container for hydrogen and a tiny tiny fire in a tube run through water under vacuum. Cold steam vacuum boilers can throw excess turbine energy to send condenser water back to boiler + maintain vacuum once going. If good enough? Produce too much fuel like the sun. It will safely rise.. *Points at the Heliosphere around the sun* Hahaha.. That's why we have ultrasonic microphones on probes while lying to claim no sound in space. Gas medium..

I understand the "newness" of the 2 systems described here; however, it seems to me that the first (oscillating magnetic powerdrive), essentially and smartly, basically only re-sourced magnetism in-lieu of combustion and for the second (flappy membrane - suck-and-blow), essentially and also smartly, basically only reconfigured the shape of the inclined-plane/screw-drive into a linear or closed-circular form.... ...no??? I'm not wanting to discount the creator's ingenuity because there's ALWAYS room for improvement to any design and perhaps these are that. However, I merely have a-suspicion/an-intuition that these are, kind-of, "reinvented-wheels" here.

If nature could create propellers, it would have done so long time a go already I think. Interesting idea but I doubt it can be ever better propellers/impellers. Kind of like with power production, why go to rotation if oscillation would be better..

[@FelonyVideos]

Well, aside from the mathematical reality that nature doesnt create anything, and never has, there are organisms with actual spinning flagellum. Yes, the tail actually spins, not just waves around in a circular-ish pattern like a sperm cell, they actually spin. Evolution theory says this, and many other features of life, would mathematically require far in excess of 10^80 years to evolve. Yet more evidence that the universe was created by an intelligent designer.

If it could manipulate negative energy and contract insanely fast, I think so. It wouldn't be physical but I'm sure that how it would move the warp bubble continuously forward. It needs the contraction to instantly jump to warp. I'm pretty sure impulse engines are a different technology powered by the warp engine but I wonder if the rippling effect could get sub-warp speeds?

[@kennethmatthew3453]

This kind of reminds me a an antigravitational engine I wish to one day R&D which has a success percentage of at least 60% or more. At the very least it would be able to hold slightly more than it's own weight meaning it could float around under it's own weight but actual propulsion would need to be figured out. I do have a much more reliable anti-gravitational idea which could work allot better meaning it should be able to hold more than 100 times it's own weight but I'm not so sure what effects it could have on the environment but theoretically it could possibly leave behind some sort of electro magnetic trail which could interfere with other electronics like cell phones or it could do even far worse damage to the environment or perhaps it wouldn't do any damage but it's just the way it would be designed to work which concerns me. As an engineer I love to build stuff but mankind has a bad history of allowing inventions to have negative effects on the environments we live in hence just because we may build technologies to make our lives easier doesn't mean it's worth the negative impacts on our environments. The less effective anti gravity engine would be allot safer/no real impact on the environment. As far as how long it would be able to stay in the air I could say more than 10 minutes for a prototype but with normal improvements over time I'm sure hours could be eventually reached. Propulsion is still something to be figured out otherwise there would only be a floating engine not moving very fast but at the very least it would be a great start. When it comes to technological advances virtually anything is possible with the right amount of insight and ingenuity.
