Study on high performance of a ship propulsion device by using the Weis-Fogh mechanism

The purpose of this study is to develop a high performance propulsive mechanism with high efficiency at high sailing speed by using a mechanism of rotary reciprocating wing motion based on the two-dimensional Weis-Fogh model. The sailing tests by both towing the model ship and its self-propulsion we...
