Cousteau, crewsst 'sail'
in cylinder-run boat
PARIS Underwater explorer Jacques-Yves
Cousteau sets off for the United States tocby to
prow that a revolutionary wind-powered vessel
lacking any sails or motor can soil 'the Atlantic.
A spokesman for the Cousteau Foundation said
the 42-ton catamaran Moulin a Vent will leave from
Tankers at sunset today for a voyage that the vete
ran 72-year-old explorer hopes will revolutionize
sea transport
Cousteau and his five-man crew hope to make the
crossing in about a month, predicting an arrival in
New York between Nov. 5 and 15, the spokesman
said.
The Moulin a Vent is powered by a 44-foot cylinder
mounted on the deck instead of conventional sails.
A wind-driven propeller at the top sucks air through
perforated windows and propels the craft by
deflecting the air current.
Cousteau maintains that the revolutionary pro
pulsion system has practical, energy-saving applica
tions for sea transport. He thinks a cylinder
equipped ship which also has conventional power
could save up to 35 percent in fuel ......
Wind tunnel tests have shown that an 800-ton
ship equipped with two "Aerolian" cylinders could
sustain 15 knots in a 24-knot crosswind, Cousteau
said. "We are convinced that the fixed cylinder wind
boat has important and immediate commercial
applications. It would be fairly simple to convert any
ship to mixed propulsion by equipping it with one or
more cylinders," he said.
France has helped subsidize the $1 million pro
ject, and Cousteau says he eventually will replace
his conventional powered research ship Calypso
with one employing the new system.

Soviet threats worry U.S.
WASHINGTON US. officials Tuesday ex
pressed concern over fresh Soviet threats to
break off nuclear arms control talks. As the
White House urged Moscow to continue the
talks in Geneva, a UJ5. arms control oClcial said
he found the new Soviet walkout threat more
the belligerency of their tone." He said this is
especially true of a Soviet threat to break off
talks on intermediate-rane nuclear forces
(INF) irt Europe, but that Moscow seems more
likely to toughen its negotiating stand at the
separate Strategic Arms Reduction Talks
rather than walking out of that meeting as
welL U.S. officials said the latest threat wa3
made at the INF talks, and the Soviet delegates
told their U.S. counterparts they would let
them know today how much longer Moscow
wants to continue the current round, which
