In all honesty are autogiro boat, Wind Turbine boat/Windmill Boat Real? I mean I read the Wikipedia artical and then Yahoo/Google results repeat the same article many many times. The basic concept as I understand is that for a wind turbin/Windmill boat the head wind turns the turbine which then turn a propeller creating forward motion with wind resistance on the propeller and internal gear efficiency losses in power, however, with the overall force being positive or neutral in the forward direction. The Autogiro I have very little on. I was wondering if they are real and if so do you have a site or source for more information for someone with interest. I generally read most ship related concepts and am looking for more facts. Thanks
