I've got all of those parts and a metal lathe/ machine shop..... where can
I get the plans?

Really?

I can send you plans to test for a battery.

If you are moored in strong currents you might want to try a
magnetohydrodynamic generator. It can be built with a pvc tube, common
magnets, two wires and some simple copper electrodes. The salt water current
flows through the tube which has magnets on the outside, which also has a
magnetic field on the inside. There is a voltage induced between opposing
walls of the tube, where you put the electrodes. There is minimal drag on
this device and no moving parts.

Do you have a shear and a brake? You could make a large battery. Are you
qualified to operate machinery?

No current..... my Father is a machinist and is instructing me. Metal Lathe
and some bending equipment as well as a heavy band saw type cutting tool for
metal up to an inch thick. I do have access to a plasma cutter at a friend's
shop. I'm just starting to learn the craft. I'm currently overhauling and
re-roofing the workshop and as soon as it's finished I plan to start on a
canon for my sailboat. I'm looking at stock now for milling on the lathe.

Can this type of generator be towed array deployed?

The MHD can be towed.

You can buy cannons online.

I sooner build my own thanks..... ya think a rifled barrel would increase
accuracy? ;-D

Got plans, specs or diagrams? I like to have a look and maybe build one to
test it.

Don't get your hopes up. Gilligan's *brilliant* ideas are usually the
result of misunderstood scientific reports.
