Cool new product-nano technology

Hypothetical questions?

Ok, I agree, why wouldn't this be great on the hull, below the waterline, speed should increase?

Ok, would application below the waterline stop the need for bottom paint, too slick for the algae, barnacles etc. to attach to?

Ok then, treat the prop, would it cut down friction, then the reduction in friction would reduce cavitation, I.E. increased engine performance and reduce fuel consumption?

Ok, treat trim tabs, transducers, cut down drag?

What else?

I have this vision of the boat skittering across the water uncontrolled just short of 60knots after coating with this stuff. Or just flipping bow over transom with a bit of throttle. Could get dicey...

Setting aside the Three Stooges scenarios, without the normal friction between hull and water I can't imagine how a hull might really react. But, I'd think that fuel economy could be much improved. What say the scientists?
 
Considering gas at $4/5 dollars per gallon, extrapolated forward, “if the stuff" worked and did positively affect economy/drag, $100 per ounce could be a bargain.

This isn't new technology, Clark Griswold first developed this in 1989 and demonstrated it on his snow saucer. WOW! Just don't get this on your prop, you could run 2000 RPM without moving two feet!
