For Void re heating ship bottoms to reduce viscosity
https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 89#p239789
This is an interesting idea. I hope you will do more with it.
Your AI friend might be able to run some numbers to see if it would make a useful difference.
Ships by the many thousands are likely to be in normal service around the world. They all must generate heat to produce power, and lf the energy consumed is likely to reach 30% or so efficiency of motion, then that 70% difference likely goes into the atmosphere right now.
The plumbing required to route hot water around the hull will add greatly to the cost of the ship.
A builder would need to balance costs of installation and maintenance of a system to deliver waste heat to the ocean instead of to the atmosphere against any benefits.
