If this solid sail is such a great concept, could it be used in other applications? Could yachts be fitted with them? (Or are they already?) Can gliders or light aircraft use them? (Might be a bit more complicated though) I suppose turbine blades already use these principles, and perhaps the solid sail idea in fact came from turbine blades...
