not qualified in any way to weigh in on the physics of paddling but... I think we need to have someone put together an "Iron Byron" for paddling. The US Golf Association has a unit for consistently testing golf equipment with a standard swing (http://www.leaderboard.com/GLOSSARY_IRONBYRON). I'm sure something like this would be quite inexpensive to build ;o)...I'm certain we'd need some sponsors!! C'mon all you garage inventors...let's see your best mechanical paddler to test these paddles!! And as a bonus, what a great stoker to have in the back of your double on those long stretches into the wind. Of course, unless it is a solar powered unit you've got some power issues.
