Wind Sail Turbines end the fossil fuel age and supply abundant, clean, and very inexpensive electricity (power). The new Wind Sail Turbines produce roughly 10-Fold to 50-Fold more power than existing wind turbines in the same wind path. This patent has the effect of replacing most of the science that is the basis of current Wind Science and current wind turbines. This patent changes the scientific understanding of how to effectively utilize wind and/or water flows to produce energy. Rotor blades, wings, and sails etc. are not airfoils working primarily from lift. These 3 devices are sails that work due to wind collisions. Therefore, sails are newly defined scientifically by the application of the New Wind Power Formula. This creates a New Wind Science because the 3 fundamental underpinnings of current Wind Science are disproved, 1) the current Wind Power Formula is disproved and nearly every input is changed, 2) the power in the wind is disproved and is determined to have twice the power as currently believed, and 3) lift as applied to sails (rotor blades, sails, and wings) is disproved. All Wind and/or Water Sail Turbines require sails to occupy the flow path versus small sails just spinning within the flow path to effectively utilize energy. Henry Wind Buster 1s and 2s, work with and against the wind. Henry Wind Busters 1s have a linear nature going more directly downwind and upwind. Henry Wind Buster 2s work with an against the wind but rotate around or partially rotate around an axis. Henry Wind Buster 3s are like industrial HAWT wind turbines, rotating perpendicular to the wind. The Water Propulsion Systems uses the novel movement of plates for propulsion.

7- claim 7 is an independent claim for Henry Water Propulsion Systems (their use and the use of the word, water, include the use in any gas and/or gas flow and/or any fluid (water etc.) and fluid (water etc.) flow and/or any solid and/or any semi-solid and/or any flow of a solid and/or flow of a semi-solid and/or any combination of matters and/or the flow of matters and/or as defined in the Background Section without exception or limitation) generally to operate would have plate(s) attached to a shaft (rod etc.) that likely passes through most often the rear hull (it does not have to pass through the hull, it could be above the hull and/or be attached through a transom area (the area where outboard boat motors are often attached) of a ship (boat and/or any moving craft of any nature and of any design) and then attach through any mechanical means to the engine, so, the engine can thrust the shaft (rod etc.) back and forth and there may be any number of these set ups located on the ship etc., and the plate(s) use the large face of the plate(s) that can be of any size and of any shape and of any nature to thrust water and/or any fluid and/or any solid and/or any gas and/or any combination of the aforementioned without limitation providing thrust and the plate(s) would then be moved to a pre-thrust location after being positioned to reduce resistance, with one example being that as the plates are moved to the pre-thrust position using plate(s) folding on a hinge and/or in any way and/or otherwise to position the plate(s) in any way without limitation so their thin side(s) are resisting the movement to minimize resistance and then the plate(s) are repeatedly thrusted to provide continuous thrust and returned to the pre-thrust position, being positioned to minimize resistance and the plate(s) could be shaped to naturally open as thrusted and/or be assisted in the opening and positioning of the plate(s) by any means to be positioned to thrust and/or for the plate(s) to be positioned to reduce resistance as being moved to the pre-thrust position is included without limitation and the movement of plate(s) to pre-thrust position could be done above the water and/or partly above the water to further reduce resistance and the plate(s) can be made to thrust as pulled and/or pushed and/or for plate(s) operation to be reversible or not by design and there can be any number of these set up located anywhere on a ship etc. to pull and/or push to thrust and there are many design possibilities that are all included without exception and/or limitation and in support of the value of this invention, the inventor states that the inventor believes it is likely that efficiency calculations for propellers are overstated but the inventor has not checked into this belief but believes it likely since Albert Betz worked on propeller theory and Albert Betz may have used some of the same incorrect science that Albert Betz applied to wind turbine science.
