VON SCHNEIDER
Length: 38cm * Width: 12cm * Depth: hull 2.4cm, total 5cm
Propulsion & Steering: 2 steerable paddle wheels
After 'MORITZ' was built and tested it was clear that the direction of thrust of the paddle weehls depends on the position of their cover.
That led to the construction of 'VON SCHNEIDER' (sounds like 'Voith-Schneider' ?).
Here some test runs:
casting off
maneuvering around
Compared to a Voith- Schneider drive the maneuverability is similar.
