Please explain further... the power/speed graph can reach infinity on
both axes? Does this mean that we can have negative horsepower? That
would make for excellent fuel efficiency!

Dammit, another great idea shot down... I thought we could have a boat
where if you put the engine in gear while you were sailing, it would
actually *produce* fuel.
Actually, it's a reality. There are now electric aux motors that can recharge
battery banks by putting the drive in gear while sailing. Just one more thing
about boats you don't know. I'm a little surprised about this one, because
I'm
sure it's been mentioned in the magazines where you get most of your
"knowlege"
