3,000-TON ROTOR SHIP TO BE BUILT.
FLETTNER ROTER SHIP WI
According to on Exchange Berlin mewaage, the Weser Shipbuilding Company has received an order to build a 3,000-tons rotor cargo ship. Both the naval authorities and the German shipping companies are interested in this vessel, as it is desired to obtain fuller experience of the rator principle. The rotor-ship," invented by the German Herr Fettner, has, in place of rails, two cylinders 60 feet high and feet in diameter. These cylinders, revolved by a small motor, turn in the wind about 120 times a minute, and, as the propelling force of wind on a revolving body is much greater than on a ['stationary body, it is claimed by the inventor that his "rotors" heye la times the efficiency of sails,
