Michael, hull drag reduction is not based on microbubbles, but mechanically
generated macrobubbles of milimeter dimensions.
Though individually a billion times larger in volume, for a given amount of
air they collectively present less than a thousanth of the optical
backscattering cross
Hi
It seems to me that Brightwater is suitable for 'homebrew' testing, and
indeed would greatly benefit from this work. Water bodies are very variable
by salinity, choppiness, cloudiness, temperature, etc.
Is it possible to create a set of standard tests which can be conducted by
people to test
Andrew, Bright Water is not a new concept. It was proposed as a means to
reduce hull drag some time ago. Funding is the issue

Michael,
I'm not saying the production of microbubbles is a new idea. However, I'm
not aware of any programme of testing of the behaviour of such bubbles in
real waters from around the world. The key issue is residence time, and we
simply don't know how that will be affected by the myriad types
