Maybe have a big bumper cushion
thing and cinch up tight and lock it into place and it would basically be a
generator to power the electric propulsion motor. Attaching two
floating objects in the ocean would be extremely challenging to say the
least but I'm sure there's a way to do it.
Hi, Brian - that's an idea that's been thrown
around in commercial circles for years.
The solution seems to be a mating
underwater. Have you considered releasing your "big bumper cushion
thing" at, say, twenty feet, anchored of course. When you're done you can
re-mate with it at depth, tighten up and surface.
The pod could be a U-shape, with an upright
guide pin at the bottom of the U that would nestle into a matching hole in
your keel.
Making connections could be left for the
surface (if you feel lucky) or you could devise your own for
an underwater connection upon mating.
The description is easy, the connectors are
not. Ballast, electrics - now there's a challenge.
