Sorry about the double post. After all the thought in his design you would think he would install the springs parallel to each other and have them in a horizonal posision with the aid of simple levers to do the same work. They are exposed to the elemnts, and salt isnt nice to things like that. But its not my design. Cover the springs! The rest of the design is sleak. How about throw the springs away and install some "Energy-Harvesting Shock Absorbers", then he could have some power, and still have the same response from the fins.

prisoner42, Setting sail increases your speed, in return you travel faster across the wave aiding the force of porpultion from the wave. The two should be connected in their use. A kite at 900' gets all the wind you want, even when there is no wind at the surface. Dont throw the sail away! Kites dont work well at port. Unless you want the cruise ship to drag you where its going! My idea is much better, the vessel doesnt bob up and down or list. There are many great ideas out there, but no one puts them on the same ship. He has a great idea, but the wave power trip is just a stunt. Throw the sails up and lets get some where faster than the norm sail boat.
