Joe,
I only had a chance to look at an earlier version of OMER
(I believe 3) and it was a nightmare of mechanics and electronic that they
could never get sorted out. They always ran slower than everybody
else. They were rather secretive of what they had inside and only got
short glimpses. If I remember correctly they had a multi-geared
transmission at that time that sucked up a lot of energy before getting it to
the prop. I understand that much of the computer power is used to
automatically adjust the prop pitch to speed for maximum efficiency.

A skimmer afloat is but a submarine, so poorly built it will not
plunge.
