I actually make my living by inventing things and as the saying goes,
"Theres thousands of good ideas and most of them are wrong" certainly
applies to what I do.
To enlighten some people, "Faster than light travel" is prohibited
mathematically because it results in violation of causality, ie.,
effects happen before the cause (yes, there may be exceptions). There
is nothing mathematically wrong with a variable hull.
I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ideas that didn't
work but I don't admit the ideas are dead .........yet. Sometimes,
something actually does work and you lean back and
think..........."DAMN, that is cool", being surprised it works.
It is perfectly normal for people to say "That can't work otherwise it
would've been done". You simply do not listen to such and go find out
why it hasn't been done.

If I can find it, I'll send you a paper written by some Russian scientists.
It was given to me by a German friend of mine who surprised me with it
following a long debate we had over some beers.

(he held two Phd's in Physics)

Basically, it describes an experiment whereby a laser beam was fired into a
tube that contained cesium in a gaseous form, then exited the tube and hit a
target sensor. They had some exotic metrology set up to measure and record
the tests.

The photons contained in the laser burst exceeded the speed of light,
according to the test results.

Yeah, I read about that. The catch was the diff tween "group"
velocity and "wave velocity" (I forget which is which). What the
speed of light limitation REALLY says is that no information can be
transmitted faster than light. A simple sine wave carries no
information so that laser beam can exceed light speed but if you try
to modulate it to carry info it wont work, your signal travels at
speed of light.
I have just exhausted all my knowledge of this subject. Mostly a PhD
in physics is a license to bull**** authoritatively.

You know who you remind me of?
Thomas Edison. With boats.
Keep at it, and you'll get there.
Or have plenty of fun trying.
Ever been down to the museum in Fort Myers?
That could be yours.
Always keep saying I'll go there, but I end up fishing instead.

Edison was lucky to live in an age when a new "thing", electricity was
being developed and he took full advantage of it. Today, the
analogous "thing" is software about which I know nothing but there
sure seem to be some "Edisons" of software. Not knowing much about
power boats, I cannot afford to gamble the $10,000 or so on a patent
for boating stuff. My patents all relate to x-rays which I do
understand (specialization is so sad).

My uncle was down there working on the bomb too.. It is a pretty

Yes. I actually found it a bit disappointing although the grounds are
very nice, including a totally humongous Banyan tree. The Henry Ford
Museum in Dearborn, Michigan is a lot more interesting and contains
many of Edison's original patent models. Ford and Edison were good
buddys and lived next door to each other in Ft Myers during the
winter.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned lobster boats given the
history of this newsgroup and its most prolific contributor. Classic
lobster boats have a fine entry forward which flattens out as you move
aft creating a shape which gets through the chop with minimal muss or
fuss but can still get on plane with reasonable power and economy.

Varying the deadrise underway certainly presents a number of
interesting challenges - possibly with some sort of inflatable
structure?

I believe that lobster boats were an inspiration for Tolman's designs
although Tolman may have reduced the deadrise more.
Yes, I did consider an inflatable structure, seems sorta failure prone
but a possibility.
