Dev log # 4.5 the means of wind propulsion
This week we explore the shape language and technologies of ship propulsion.We look into real world references shared by the windship association at the sustainable ship design conference, and the main types of WASP (wind-assisted-ship-propulsion) that exist today. Flettner rotors, inflatable wingsails, kites, and more.

A ship from the past, oil on panel, 2018.
This was the culmination of years of reading about ecology, collapse, and low tech, + my experience sailing on historical ships 100 years old.

#EnergyTransition: 37 wind-powered and 11 wind-ready cargo ships in operation
https://www.offshore-energy.biz/iwsa-37-wind-powered-and-11-wind-ready-ships-in-operation/"the number of #ships installed with #WindPropulsion has effectively doubled in the twelve months to April 2024... A critical mass of demonstrator ships is forming in the bulker, tanker, RoRo and general cargo segments, with developments in other ship segments accelerating, too... small fleet orders are being made, not only single #ship deployments."
