In XXI century development are the most unexpected directions in the design of transport. Due to the manufacturing process, again "come to life" things that until recently were considered frankly outdated.
Toyota has become the main investor of the project for the construction of modern experimental vessel, which, according to the designers idea, generally will not need fuel. Operating a vehicle (or rather yacht) is a hybrid engine. The energy it receives from the waves of light and wind. Still a backup fuel source will "repent" engineers, but it is very unusual. The fact that this is a hydrogen fuel cell. However, and it will be powered mainly by sea water. If the project is successful, innovative boat will be the first non-volatile ship since the era of sailing ships.
The ship was named «Energy Observer». It is interesting that originally it was supposed to be sailing, but the designers decided to develop the idea and the design even further. The roots of the project go in 1983. Then a naval engineer Nigel Ayrens has created a kind of non-volatile ship, which was even able to set some interesting records.
It is known that a brand new Energy Observer will be relatively small catamaran. The length of the boat reaches 30.5 meters and a maximum width - 12.8 meters. Displacement of the vessel is 28 tons. To carry the load and the command ship will not. On board will be established only diverse research equipment, which will help to determine the potential for further development of the ship without fuel in the XXI century. The ship will launch into a long 6-year journey. During this time, he will visit the coastal area more than 50 countries.
Continuing the theme Ida Pfeiffer luxury yacht for the 'cold' adventure and not only.
