A new form of naval locomotion https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeMWroahygpXt8n7x3YMAbSx51kmXArSViK61LvRH3H1b/imagen.png They have designed a new way to propel ships, imagine a ship silently sailing through the waters powered not by noisy propellers or polluting turbines, but by a system that emits the elegant movement of a whale's tail. That technology already exists, it was tested and reached levels of efficiency that are leaving the naval industry quite excited, its name is ABB Dynafin and it is not just a great idea on paper, it was already tested in open waters and demonstrated an efficiency of up to 81%, yes, nature once again sets the best example and is teaching us. Developed by the Swiss company ABB, the ABB Dynafin uses a concept that seems to come out of a documentary about Cetaos, a rotating horizontal disc with mobile vertical blades, each individually controlled to simulate the movement of a whale's tail, these blades hit the water with biomechanical precision, generating
