Hi Everyone,the boomerang hole. I think that this might reduce a vortex at the tip of the sail and mast.
I stuck this on gps-speedsurfing.com but no bites there maybe they are a bunch of wallies but anyway.....
I have an idea for a vortex reducer on the top of the mast
Get some boomerangs off of ebay maybe and put some carbon strips on them with some resin and drill a hole in the center of the boomerang and slot that piece of plastic you have at the tip of the mast that has strip of webbing on it and slip it through
This is also done on modern Boeings and Airbuses and executive jets to reduce the drag - vortex at the tip of the wings to reduce fuel consumption, also so that airliners can take off and land closer to each other and also so they can park closer toeach other at airports. Eagles and birds also have feathers turned up at the end of there wings so they can soar for longer.
I also think this can be applied to the fin. Drill a line of holes about an inch from the tip of the fin with a fine drill bit and slot an elliptical plate of fine steel (maybe like a coin) through the holes and resin it or industrial glue it intoplace. This could reduce vortexes around the fin. There could be a balance between this and the boomerang idea.
I think some of these ideas could be applied to surf boards, kite boards as well as dinghys catamarans and yachts.
I approached people with the idea of patenting these ideas but had no reply. Maybe everyone in the spirit of Jim Drake RIP could just make these ideas.
I suffer from mental illness and don't actually have much cash so if sail maker, fin maker etc thinks there is a market for these ideas I could do with some cash - I'm only looking for about £10,000, $15000 at the moment you could pay me via paypal.
Please contact me via my email address.
