A couple of thoughts come to mind..."That Sucks!" or "Look at that sucker go!"

Ducted Fan boats?
Off to SAWS with this one, provided it has enough torque.

[Ub Hauled]

I was gonna say Dom... probably NO torque!
Great for a vacuum cleaner, hhehehehe

Hey at 129 pounds that's not that bad a price for a boat motor!

Oh Diegoboy .... I bet you can't make this work in a boat!

From the picture, I see a huge capacitor on one side of the rotor, and a huge coil (inductor) on the other side. That looks like a classic "tank circuit"

Google "Switched reluctance" to learn how they work.

The Brits will never be able to sell it. There's no place for an oil leak.
