Hi Tobie, good idea with the turbines, instead of propellers.
Hmmm, I could have a JetPICinaBottle. Same idea as yours but for
a bottle shape. 1 inlet, 2 outlets at R-A to each other. Wouldn't
be very fast, but that's not the idea. Just give it ability to go
where it will. Probably have to build a tide table into the
memory.
