Seems like any assist would be worth while considering large yachts go thru 1000's of gallons of fuel. If you want a yacht assist that runs off of solar power, the cheapest, best tried and true method is called sails.  I thought sails used wind. Wind is solar energy, it's the product of the sun heating air. A very small percentage of the wind on the planet is a "product of the sun heating air". And the rest is from your mouth. Typical response from the village idiot. Do you disagree with my statement that a very small percentage of the wind is a product of the sun heating air, or are you just being childish? Your statement that a very small percentage of wind is a product of the sun's heat is wrong. I can see this is going to become another oil and trailer thread. lol No, it's not. You are stupid. The thing is this, you'll make your own definition of what a "very small percentage" is, and that will be your whole basis of argument. The simple fact is, and will always be, that the sun's heat is a MINOR contributer to the earth's wind. MINOR, twit, understand? How about if we define "very small percentage" and MINOR as less than half? Now, where's your proof that the sun's heat is a minor contributor of a very small percentage of the surface wind that a sailboat would use? Where's your proof that even all the wind on the planet, surface or otherwise, is not the result of the sun's heat? I've given you plenty of proof that it is. You have given none that it's not.

Sure thing, here you go. Time to put your spin on it, to TRY to make it look like you know anything at all. My "proof" is just as valid as yours. Why don't you tell us what YOU meant my "a very small percentage" and then show some proof that whatever you defined as "a very small percentage" of wind is the result of the sun's heat. Well, give some proof, any proof of what you said. Steve I pasted a bunch of websites refuting you, but alas, they didn't get transfered for some reason, but here is a quick paste of text taken from one of them: As the Earth rotates on its axis, gravity forces this relatively "heavy" air near the Earth's surface to spin round with it. However, the air higher up is less affected. The difference between the speed at which air moves close to the surface and the speed of air higher up forms vortexes or whirlpools. This mixing causes variations in air speed, and, consequently, "wind" is generated at the earth's surface |

As I suspected, you have none. Because you're wrong. Steve |
