Sailless Rotating Cylinder Ship Promises Wind Power
A German inventor proposes rotor ships using spinning steel cylinders on masts instead of sails. Tests on a 650 ton hull claim 15 times wind power with one fifth the weight of traditional masts, cutting fuel use by up to 80 percent. Hamburg American Line orders a 10000 ton freighter with rotors. The device turns with minimal motor input and can reverse instantly, enabling stormy or clear seas.
