So, I was in Kobe recently and had the opportunity to stand under this beautiful ship.
At first, I had real trouble understanding what this did. Magnetohydraulic drive? Was that like the "caterpillar drive" from Hunt for Red October? I just couldn't believe it was actually real and in front of me.
Wow.
And then I read the paragraph, which stated that the boat was actually very slow. Encumbered by generators, batteries and other equipment, the boat was very slow.
It's a bit sad, but that's precisely how technology and ideas are. The technology that is theoretically the best may not be practical. An idea can be developed and end up too far ahead of its time.
