Maybe it has different gear ratio when it goes in reverse? I think that's fairly common in cars so maybe they do it with ships too. I think gear ratio is usually setup in a way were the vehicle moves slower when going in reverse and because of this the vehicle usually also has more torgue when going in reverse.
And more torgue probably means that it could break thicker layer of ice. And now you might think that why wouldn't they want to have it setup so that it can break 10ft ice when going forward. And the answer is probably because it would be slower and time is money.
Interesting idea. 🙂 There is probably some reason why they haven't done this. Maybe it would be too much weight per m2 unless you make the hovercraft ridiculously long? 🤔
@@catsozen with nuclear icebreaker you have to bring a huge ship but with a ice hovercraft small weights, fast, more frequent travel also rational human travel seems possible , probably there are some limitations with them for to use in artic climate so we dont see them much
My conversation regarding this subject with a friend has led to a bizarre tangent- building a mechanism which would crash and destroy all the mental boundaries build by mankind in the name of creed, religion, race, etc. and it’s name is : friendSHIP.
The nuclear icebreaker is so cool! I want to visit it some day. 🙂
Here in Bothnia sea I meet a lot of Finnish and Swedish Ice breakers and they are so powerful. They are always waiting us to call them.
Thanks for the dating tips 😂
It would be interesting to know how the ship can bust through 10ft thick ice in reverse but only 4.5 ft going forward
During reverse, you ask some poor bloke to climb down and help chipping ice using pickaxe

The pun 'Bring up an icebraker in a conversation'
why not going over ice with a hovercraft without breaking ?

I'm guessing with a ship you can carry more heavy duty stuff. Look at the cargo and crane and helipads.

The conversation will lead to North Pole Sir...
Ironically, titan sank due to the ice berg and now we are using ships to break ice 👉👈
