This is my art project, which lead to the fishBOAT drone. How to connect a motor to a fin, without a lot of parts? Let your creativity run wild! Think about creative ideas like the Pump-a-bike (which can only start off of a dock) or Hobbie's Mirage Drive (which has friction in its drive-train). Here is my answer! I call it the fishBOOT, because you wear it, like a boot. It is really easy to do! Much easier than SUPing! In this craft, I learn about how fish interact with waves and about how important flexure is in the tendon which connects the fluke to the hull. I'm going to do a Kickstarter to build a new one with refinements. You'll be able to support my Kickstarter and receive rewards like a T-shirt, full-size plans to make your own, fun parts, like the fluke, a half-hour consultation with a patent attorney (me), a fishBOOT for yourself!

This is a prototype, to test and demonstrate capabilities of this technology. Picture a drone which can swim across the bottom of a muddy tide-flat, navigate through piers, and interact with messy environments that would disable a propeller-driven craft. How power efficient will it be? Let's find out!
