Fisherking reminds us:
"It is impossible to convert energy from one form to another at 100% efficiency, so this system will of course cost efficiency. You would have better efficiency if you used the some power that filled the air tank to power the boat. However, it is hard to carry around your own hydro-electric dam on your boat."
Are you sure mate?
Suffice it for me to mention that a yacht getting just 16knots, and requiring 3,000 gals of fuel to cross the Atlantic is obsene at best.
The author begins with a teaser. This motor technology is explained on the 'free energy' forums. I've studied the diagrams from the inventors, in Perth, where you can see it in application on small cars. I believe we all understand it's applicability in the harbour...

What I'm working on is a *self-powered* engine. This would use the 'ram-pump' and the water-powered steam generator. Both patents have proven themselves for over 100 years.
With little funds, I have to work in minature, and I hope to prove this works in the form of a plywood dinghey. Currently, I'm considering the excess steam as potential lubricant, in the form of an air-blanket beneath the boat. I'm not interested in the production of hydrogen, although this is readily obtainable through the same principal that drives the steam generator. The complexities of that will be left to future developers.
