    This Norse Power idea has been around a long time. Back in the 1980’s Jacques Cousteau promoted it and said all ships would be using it in the near future. Like flying cars, and fusion energy, we’re still waiting…"".

      You forgot about the Jetpacks. in the late 60's, with baby boomers, using cars, and traffic jams everywhere, they said, in future, to avoid traffic jams, people will wear jet packs on their backs and fly around the city. You do not even have to use the elevator, just open the office window and walkout. Remember, James Bond, thunderball movie scene. Even during the olympics, they gave a demo of it. whatever happened to it. Nowadays, no one talks about it. Maybe all those who are herre are youngsters, they may not know about the Jet pack story.

    They're kind of like sheets that catch wind. I wonder if we could give them a good name, maybe based on the Proto-Germanic "seglą", but simplified for modern English. Something like `segl`, or mabe `sel`. Something like that.

    A possibly-useful video, but destroyed by the hyperbole 'could change...forever': standard journalese overstatement. What many readers don't realise is that the sail on a sailing ship is acting like the wing on an aeroplane, but in a different orientation. That is why a sailing ship can tack into wind. You did bypass the steam-turbine stage of development, which is the transmission for nuclear ships. It is interesting to see that Flettner can be made to work: it was a failure 100 years ago, but did live on as ventilators.

    Great video,but you can't just put sails on a rectangular Hull, some modified is needed, like adding long tubes on the side to prevent the ship from flipping,this tube could be in sectional and retractable, flexing can provide power as it mov thru the waves.

In fact, merely looking at the rotation of those wind rotors in the video proves that it is possible. This should be consuming nothing more than 2000KW/h of electricity at that speed which some midsize generator can output.
