  1. The Effect of Micro bubbles and Bulbous Bow on the Aerodynamic Efficiency of a Boat Harry Kucharczyk

  2. Need • $438 Million spent on annual boating fuel (Lipton 95) • Carbon Dioxide Emissions continue to rise

  3. Knowledge Base Bulbous Bow • Breaks up the upcoming wave • Reduces form drag • Green line represents normal wake • Blue line represents the wake the bow creates • Red line represents the sum of the two wakes

  4. Knowledge Base • Micro Bubbles

  5. Literature Review • Mccormick & Bhattacharyya (1973)

  6. Do Ability • Water Tunnel
