There are very few problems we can solve ourselves, but there is almost nothing we cannot solve together.
Most often when someone says they can't, they are unwilling to try.
Sound and looks very interesting, and lots of possible uses. But I too am interested in the environmental impact of a product like this.
Don't just think of the kayak, think all ships, boats and barges. Would it reduce drag? If it did by a just a bit, that's a big fuel savings, our largest expense, and it would all over every commercial boat/ship in no time.
