Could a fan in front of a sail increase speed?
Actually, someone from Australia did just that. Well engineered, and
successful. Would go about the same speed in all directions. I wish I could remember where I read about it but it must have been 20 years ago. "chuck" wrote in message ... This brings back memories of long and heated discussions about whether a windmill on a boat could propel the boat directly into the wind. Assume either electric power generated by the windmill or direct mechanical connection to the prop. Have at it!
