This project aimed at utilising the motor qualities of fish to conceptualise a human-powered boat. Such projects have been studied deeply under the discipline of bionics; however, what was needed was conceptualisation of the principle into a feasible product, which was ultimately the aim of the project. The initial task was to come to terms with the existing studies in this area and underline guidelines that have to be followed. As I understood from the data collection, most of the work in this area has been done on scale models and has been solely devoted to perfecting the motion of fish. Little effort has been made in putting the principle into a product form. In our effort to conceptualise a product, a scale model of the boat was made and experimented upon. Useful observations were taken from our experiments with the model; however, given the constraint of time in this project, the data generated is mostly qualitative. Some concepts have been generated in this project that broadly define the possible scope of utilisation of this bionic project in various fields of aquatic transportation. Notable among them is the human-powered boat, which theoretically is more efficient than propulsion-powered boats and has unique turning qualities and mechanisms. Although this project was with me for only a few months, it was undertaken under Prof. V. P Bapat, IDC, who is an authority in the field of bionics. Given his special interest in this area, the project is under development under his guidance.
