“Tubercle Technology began with WhalePower President, Dr. Frank E. Fish solving one of Nature’s mysteries: How was it possible for Humpback Whales to be so astonishingly agile? The answer: those strange bumps produce the “tubercle effect” which was first described by Dr. Fish. WhalePower, building on the science, adds precisely formed versions of those bumps to the leading edges of the blades or rotors at the heart of almost any machine designed to work with any fluid whether air, water, steam or oil.” Source: http://www.whalepower.com
