Interesting link, good info! 5.8 Meters per second, thats 11 knots, I think. Wonder how they kept their wattage output constant for the test runs?

Fresh water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot at 39 degrees Farenheit
Fresh water weighs 59.8 pounds per cubic foot at 212 degrees Farenheit (Skene's '73)
