Propeller OUT of water?


First of all, I am very glad I found this board as I have had a fear of underwater machinery for as long as I can remember. The fish/whale/shark stuff here isn't as big of a deal for me but the structures and propellers that occasionally get posted are nope-city for me. So because of that, I hope that this is still okay to be posted here.I've seen tons of videos of props underwater spinning (because I always think I can handle it, protip, I can't). Cruise ship/cargo ship props, the real big ones. But I have to imagine that their propellers must be tested ABOVE water to make sure they actually work before being submerged. So I'm trying to find videos of very large propellers being spun while in drydock or otherwise outside of the water. I want to see if this still triggers my fear, because of all underwater machinery, large propellers are definitely the worst for me, to the point where even large fans like wind turbines and things like that kinda freak me out. I think it stemmed from the propeller fear (which I have no idea why I have) and kind of turned into a fear of any large spinning thing. Anyone else have their own version of thalassophobia translate into a non-underwater version of that fear?tl;dr looking for videos of large ship props spinning above water
