I strongly suspect the use of a "propeller" in your design will make the
results horribly inefficient.

It is just "like a propeller"
It is not near as flimsy of course.
and it is more like a sturdy water wheel with an angle that forces
the direction of motion to always be the same.

Bwahahahahahahahaaaa !!


Ferinstance, a windmill can do no better than 42 percent. Not sure how
well boat or airplane propellers do, but yours clearly is in the wrong
place at the wrong time. Especially if there is turbulent flow.

Turbulent flow is not really an issue since the prop is more
like a water wheel like I said,

Too funny ! I wonder why they stopped making paddle steamers.

Here's a nice one btw. I've even travelled on her.

The biggest loss in the prop chamber would be from tolerance space
in between the prop and walls of the chamber.

As a certain poster says in instances like this "we've got a live one here".
