what about the 1 where the torpedo forces out steam? from it's skin so that it effectively eliminates almost all of the skin drag! kind of like air hockey i guess
Has anyone ever tried injecting air around the hull(s) of a catamaran when approaching top speed to create cavitation? What would be the probable result?
I think this is what some animals do to allow them to swim faster, a while ago I saw a piece on Discovery about a Blue Marlin who ejected some type of oily fluid to lessen waterresistance. Also there is a powerboat that is based on dolphin skin. More info here: http://www.physorg.com/news68812337.html
