    DescriptionBefore installing the propeller, Heimir contacted Professor Rúnar Unnþórsson and Satish Kumar Bonthu from The Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Iceland. They made plans for measuring and evaluating the improvement in performance and fuel consumption compared to the original propeller. The study showed a consistent 30 per cent reduction in fuel consumption and improved speed. The reduction of CO2- emissions were also reduced by 30 per cent.
