以便，水的动物的稳定的鳗状的游泳运动才是完全反应的没有网旋涡醒来被让下游。这是对在旋涡流的地方，鱼游泳的 carangiform 和 tunniform 是从尾巴，鳍，和身体流。但是在那里，动物运动是这在最大化推进的效率下游地生产部分旋涡取消。在鳗家庭的鳗状的游泳特征，以便旋涡流根本不发生，游泳运动才被动物设置。然而，在这种情况中的推进的戳是在运动振幅的更高的顺序，以便相对大的卷被需要生产相对小的戳；鳗状的游泳者的速度不到 carangiform 和 tunniform，它首先发展经由提起过程订戳。实时七鳃鳗上的试验的结果与假定没有醒来假设的理论预言相比。二维的分析首先被执行设置这个概念。这被三维的分析用苗条身体的理论跟随。苗条身体的理论被其它在学习鳗状的游泳使用了，当它理想地被适合到七鳃鳗和另外的似鳗的动物的几何学。尽管有物理复杂性，在这条新途径之间的协议基于 wakeless 游泳和实验的假设显著地好。

Anguilliform Fish Propulsion of Highest Hydrodynamic Efficiency

The Propagating Wave Turbine Project focused on the design, construction, and verification of an energy generation system that converted the mechanical energy of a low speed, high torque shaft into electrical energy. A maximum power point tracking system created the optimal load profile between the voltage and current produced by an electromechanical generator. To test the design, a sensor system was developed to measure power generator and transformation characteristics between the input rotational power, through the mechanical power generator, and through the power point tracking electronics. In addition to the design of the electromechanical power generation system, a nacelle was designed and built to hold the generator, sensors, and electronics. The nacelle was designed to be attached to a Propagating Wave Turbine built by a separate project team. The generator and electronic modules operated successfully, but it was determined that the final system was not optimal for use with the propagating wave turbine since the shaft speed of the propagating wave turbine was not compatible with the necessary shaft speed of the electromechanical generator. Recommendations are provided at the end of the report to improve power generation using a Propagating Wave Turbine system.
