One hundred ton Whale does not use the turning the axle propeller but its moving efficiency is 17 times better than the one hundred ton ship. Why?.

WHALE AND ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE.
Trajectory of whales swimming across ocean water loks like a sine curve. The question, why the whales move not in a straight way but follow much longer sinusoid, is very attractive.
Please try put together some facts.
Before whale starts to dive it makes a few breaths to have a stock of oxygen. But the whale doesn’t take stock of air in its lungs. The lungs are empty. Full stock of oxygen is dissolved in its organic liquids. This is why the whale can be little heavier than water in a volume of its body.
Diving is very easy. The whale's big fins work like beard's wings and the gravity is the main propelled force.
After some time, combustion process of oxygen generates the adequate volume of CO2.
In deep and cold water, in pressure of tens meters of water, CO2 is liquid. But if the whale decides to go up, it opens the blood flow through its lungs. The blood heat the CO2 up to 31 degrees and during passing CO2 from liquid into gas, in constant pressure, the volume of whale's body must increase.
This is why the whale can be a little lighter than water in a volume of its body.
Emergence is very easy. The whale's big fins also work like beard's wings but in opposite angle of incidence and the water pressure is the main propelled force.
The whale has possibility to change its buoyancy.
Whales interpret Archimedes' principle not like “The body submerged in the water lose weight........” but “The body, which has possibility to change its buoyancy, submerged in the water posses the ability to soar down and up in the water.”
Practical interpretation of this “Whale's principle” is used for construction a special very ecology boat propelling equipment, named "Water Glider" presented below, and “Whale's Fin” presented on the next page of my web site.
