Novel way of propelling a small boat
It is a long video but you can see everything important in about 15 seconds. I took the liberty of jumping ahead to the interesting part so you don't have to wade through 3 minutes of filler.
I never saw anything like this before.
Low tech. Cheap. Efficient. Downsides are high center-of-gravity and awkward posture for long periods of time. Lucas commented that it only works for boats with low gunwales so it would not be practical for choppy waters.
Note to self: I lifted today. I only managed three sets of my target weight. Lifting once every three weeks is not enough!
She could use some bicycle toe stirrups on those oars.
ReplyDeleteThis vid is very like a series showing a young woman doing repairs on various small engines. They seemed to be made in similar terrain and have the same production qualities as this one. Looks like northern Vietnam or southwest China.
ReplyDeleteThat is hard on the hips and legs...
