I don't get on this board much,, but thought some of you might find this interesting. I may have this device refined and produced at some point, although there is much more work to do such as changing the fin material from rubber 60 Shore A to polyethylene foils,, and redesigning/reshaping the fins for greater speed and efficiency. Also, the main axes of the fins will probably be indirectly secured to the back plate of the BCD with a bracket. The orange roll control float will be eliminated and a wing or back BCD bladder should be able to maintain roll stability. Canted knuckle joints in this video are at 30 degrees. For further engineering info, please refer to US 9,676,459.
The video below is 1/8 speed slow motion, and actual velocity is estimated at 2+ mph.
Best regards to all,
