    I somehow missed this topic.
    It's so funny because today I was at a friends house and saw an r/c vehicle that worked just like that. I didn't get to see it run but it looked neat. It was made by Tyco and my friend said it was an older toy. I forgot to get the name of it.
    He said it would work on land and water.

    Smart concept, I wonder why it never caught on (or so it seems), and incredible how many trees that thing is pulling in the middle of the vid!

    I just did a google search and it was the first one...how about that.
    It's called the Terrain twister. You can see it in the water in the later part of the vid.

    People have been screwing around with notions for screw propulsion for a long time when they augur been doing something else. Go to http://tinyurl.com/yatfolm for something from wikipedia.
