Mantax & Kremen
Mantax
Hey, have you ever thought about how a dolphin’s tail could be used as a turbine to spin a little engine? I was reading about those natural propellers and how their shape could inspire a more efficient design for submersibles. What do you think?
Kremen
Clink. A dolphin tail could work as a propeller if you give it a proper blade profile, but you’ll need a test rig first. Cut a blade, clamp it, see how it spins, then tweak the pitch. Duct tape can seal a quick prototype, but a real turbine needs a proper bearing. Don’t throw out the idea just because it feels too digital—every new shape is a puzzle, not a discard.
Mantax
Sounds like a solid plan—start with a small prototype and keep the data coming. The ocean’s full of hidden shapes that could fit your idea better than any man-made design. Keep testing, tweak, and let the waves guide you.
Kremen
Clink. I'll grab a blade, set up a test rig, and let the water tell me.
Mantax
Good luck with the rig—just make sure you record the spin speed and the water flow so you can tweak the pitch later. The sea always has a way of showing us the best angles.
Kremen
Clink. I'll note the RPM and flow, tweak the pitch, and let the water do its thing.
Mantax
Nice, keep the logs tight—every tick of the RPM is a clue. When you tweak the pitch, let the waves decide if it’s a winner or just a splash. Happy hunting!

Clink. I'll keep the logs tight, each tick a clue. Pitch tweak will let the waves decide if it's a win or just splash. Catch you later.
