The port side tender garage on Octopus looks to be at least 2 metres above the water line. That could be a fair bit of mass swinging about on...
On the surface this makes sense. I just wonder what kind of liability nightmare it will create for marina staff that adds or changes anything to...
Hi Brian Thanks for the flash from the past. Flywheels for energy storage.I believe that they have potential in stationary installations. Power...
I have no experience with LF in the marine environment. But I have seen firsthand the results of 4-10 hz at somewhere in the 110db range on people...
Aussie Agricultural inspectors can find one poppy seed that fell off a bagel when you had a snack before leaving Panama. If they find an...
I wonder what those big radials sound like. One of my favourite tunes is sung by aircraft round engines. :-) P&W R985 on a spring morning...:)
Anyone aware of any hulls, of any size, built out of Titanium alloys?
Not to put too fine a point on it. There are many places in the world where showing up with a 50 cal Barrett will draw more attention from the...
K1W1 Thanks. I've been an unabashed fan of SKAT but have wondered about the utility and safety of the side garages. My first thought when...

Certainly, cost could be a factor. Corrosion resistance is key strength of Titanium. Kiwi friend was talking about some of the harbours in the...
Kelly, point taken about the relative angles. If the transom was a perfect vertical then the aft deck bulwark angles at 45 degrees would work...
I suppose that form follows function has it's limitations. Different aesthetic priorities. I defer to Garbo:) Gorgeous woman and a vessel worthy...
I like this transom better. Rake the forward bridge glass to the same angle as the bow.. More Marlena than Greta.
Let me preface this by stating that I have not looked very far for information on this topic. Honestly, I just did a search for Titanium on...
There are already materials that can accurately and with consistant repeatability change their form simply in response to pressure, and or...
Congratulations. Sounds like a doable project to achieve single handed capability. Enjoy.
I would think that if real world operation stands up over a year or so, that this technology will fly. Makes perfect sense. Would have to question...
Who is liable? Is the insurance company liable for the removal or is the owner? If there is nothing but more damage to the reef to be done by...
Tiny mite mp-willow, this is far short of a S76 but note on it just came across my desk and it looks like fun....
