KIEL Depenber 3rd. The rst important public trial of the "rotor systein of wind-power drive for. -going vessels, inverted by Herr Anton Fleitarr, took place to-day in Kiel Bight. The equipment of the 650- tou schooner, Backon with rotue “es; linders (large cylindrical towers made of sheet iron, which are revolved by small electric motors) in place of snik, is of absorbing interest" as a scientific experi ment, but I am strongly of opinion that any suggestion of revolutionizing com- mrcial shipping world postulate the China Building, las Floor.

The" conditions in which the trial was enrried out "can hardly be described as favourable, -Kaín föll unceasingly from start to finish. The winds were not such as provide a severe test, and no opportal. nity was given for the unwieldy crowd of, spettators mussed on the decks of a Hamburg pleasure steamer to obtain a clear insight into the manœuvring qual ities of the Ainekutu,

lowing an asterly wind of 18ft. second, and the: Burkay, with her rotora: fervolving near the maximum rate of 130| revolutions minute. attained a speed of five to six knots with a frie wind.

The following four maneuvres were xecutedTacking: sailing with free wind to starboard; wearing; and sailing | with free wind to port, -

The experiments of tacking and wear- ing were carried out by stopping ad. reversing one or other of the rotor towers as the ship came up into the wind. in exactly the same manner as one would have manipulated the fore and maiz sails of a sailing vessel, The towers were controlled from a switch-board on the bridge of the Burhan by Here, Flettner. They stopped and re-started with re- markable precision and rapidity, which, must be attributed to the efficient action' froller bearings installed at the basu of each tower and of the internal.cores which revolve the towers

The result of the trial suggested that the substitution of rotors for sails in vessels up to 1.000 tons is a practical passibility. At the same time," "rotor" ships are purely sailing vessels, and must be constructed as such, with fing Fines in order to cbtain greatest speed on the wind. The Ruckuŭ still lacks experience ef stormy weather. Theoretically the fores of a gale. when imposed on the revolving towers, should encounter far less resistance the on & spread of Canvas, thereby causing a minimum loss of stability. But the action and effect of a confused se hurricane, or typhoon on the efficiency of the "rators and the stability of the whole structure the thickness of the towers is only two milli metres-remain entirely problematical. The advantages of economy to be gained in reduction of crews through the use of "rator" mechanism, when one re members how sparsely sailing vessels need in any case be, manned, appear to have been fargely exaggerated.

Experts confessed to me this morning that they lacked-information and oppor tanity of drawing a comparison between the Buckau and a sailing vessel similar tonnage. Even aécording to the publiebed estimates that "rator" towers extract 15 times as much energy from the wind as the same area of canvas, it is uncertain whether ships of the Buchan type are suited for practical employ. ment in ocean traffic. In the Mediter ranean and the Baltic types of “ ratör " ships might prove a paying proposition, if a sufficient increase over the speed of existing sailing vessels could be guar anteed. That is rot, however, to pre dict any necessary change in the propor tion between mil and steam tonnage

of In regard to the application rotors ns an auxiliary to the engines of motors of big ekipe. I was told by re- presentatives of Britis's shipping com- paris that in the present state of know- ledge about the properties of "rotors" no projects of this kind can bave im- mediate practical importance. The ex periments conducted with model vessels in the tanks of a Göttingen laboratory have led to the successful conversion of the Buckau for rotor motion. But the ranthematical principies and formulæ which should determine rotor" con straction have hardly, as I understand, yet been discovered, In these circum- stances it was not surprising that prac tical shipping men, recalling that every inch of deck space in a modern 10,000-ton. freight carrier, the type of ahip to which owners attach primary importance, is of value, should have wondered how to ac commodate additional "retor" towers of the necessary size and number on a vessel, when they saw the two 40-ft. towers whose. bases extended from beam to beam on the as-ton Buckne
