Talk:3119: Flettner Rotor

You don't actually need the rocks to dress up as a lightship, which is unfortunately not a spacecraft moving at relativistic speeds. 90.155.35.67 20:01, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

And it also is not a ship that is light lol TheTrainsKid (talk) 20:08, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

This is probably inspired by the Lighthouse and Naval Vessel Urban Legend. 128.187.112.68 20:55, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Already linked that, myself. Though not so sure it's a direct inspiration, only an interesting onward read (which is how I chose to link it).

(Also, top tip: note the use of the {{w}} method to wikilinking it, much more efficient, in the form you might have used it, and slightly more aesthetic.) 82.132.247.118 21:01, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Not sure why there's commentary about anchored vessels - the comic doesn't reference them, nor claim that it would make _every_ vessel give you right of way? 91.84.189.119 21:47, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Would a Flettner rotor with a truncated cone shape like in the picture actually work? 46.162.122.132 22:25, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Ah, that's what those are on Danish ferries.62.220.2.194 11:07, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
