      The last one using the 3D printed thing is the same thing as some sea slugs use to move around! I might be wrong, but it's also the same concept used by cuttlefish, some squids, sting rays and many more "membrane-ish" animals.
      Note that the other side must be alternating to completely match these animals (the efficiency goes to the roof and mother nature already figured it out)

      I went to the patretta center last January and went down their bullet slide. I had just bought new swimming trunks which were VERY slick. When I made it to the bottom of the slide the life guard told me that it was the fastest he had seen anyone go. he said my time was 7.43 seconds which was the second fastest time on record. My cousin Lucas told me that he didn't believe me though which was really frustrating because I know he was just jealous.

      They aren't *that* expensive, it's just a lot of pieces, which makes sets expensive.

While LEGO does not actively produce mirrored versions of the blade piece you are using (89509) at this time, you could offset the opposite rotor’s blades using modified technic pins with holes to build a mirrored propeller that is suitable for this purpose.

    Would love to see a more involved jet propulsion one, perhaps with several pumps with spread out timings?

    I like the rails added to keep the boats moving in one dimension

    This is fascinating how most of these ways to moove in water are inspired by animals

    This is such a cool video, it's so interesting relating the various methods of movement and relating them to various things in nature and different types of boats. Great stuff as always :D
