In a new video, YouTuber Fluctus targets marine propulsion.

Marine propulsion has seen great strides and innovations over the years. One of these was the creation of the mechanized marine propeller that truly changed the way ships could move, the distances they could travel, and the incredible speeds they could reach.

Propellers work by pushing water away from the boat as they spin,” explains Fluctus in his video. “This creates thrust allowing the ship to move forward at a consistent space.”
