SHE'S RIGHT WITH WHAT HAPPENED! SHE'S NOT CRAZY!!

apollo-ec2pm 0 seconds ago Awesome vessel. Why use a go-pro lens @1.47 ?

How come not many locals kite here? I am not a local, but when I went there to visit once I saw the potential immediately. Looks like a great spot and plenty of room

Mashallah

She’s right. Put down the kool-Aid, and pay attention.

We made the solar cell for this boat, SUNPOWER cells worlds most powerful solar.

no audio!

cool i have 400 subs but im losing them sad

good idea but you need a new engineer, you know one that can get then props all the way IN the water.

If speed is what they are after see my comment below. I like the gas turbine that burns hydrogen from the sea water. Solar heat concentration runs a generator assisted by small sails

omg why you no stop in raja ampat papua or bunaken indonesia... ???

I would have also put sails on it! And under water props! Other than that . sure I'll take a couple of them!

60 to displacement requires 2,5 kW/cbm water, means, that just to displace the water and move the boat you need min. 150 kW. And i am not talking about the losses you will have at speed of 15 knotes, which from my point of view require double energy. But okay you can just travel at 8 knotes, and here my estimate is about 200 kW. Ok so far so good. The is a solar constant 1,3 Watts per square meter, means lets assume the solar panels are 15m x 30 m=450 sqm. Ok add a bit because of the overall special construction, reduce a bit because the panel construction itself, lets say you end up with 500 sqm, Which is really a lot. That means you have a potential power source of 500 x 1,3= 650 kW. So far so good. But there are losses by the solar panel efficiency, which vary from 0,15-0,2, and you have the efficiency of solar radiation terms of incoming angle and radiation power, ok lets say you have best condition all the time: 650 kW x 0,2= 130 kW. This is not working during night. And there are no other load calculated, for light, for heating, for analytics, for whatever. So the cannot make it far. Saying they have battery power for three days sailing? 200 kW/h x 72 h= 14.400 kW = 14,4 MW ? C'mon guys. Anyway a good approach for a better world, but the most powerful source they didn't use, which is the accumulated indirekt power of sun=wave energy.

It's too late our goose is already cooked but this is good anyway. There are currently at least 47 self reinforcing feedback loops already triggered and baked into the cake of planetary chemestry whose cumulative effect will be exponential in nature. We are under the gross misconception that we are a good species going somewhere important and that at the last minute we will correct our errors and God will smile on us. It is delusion.

I don't understand why she's so slow 6knots? How is she in foul weather?

The boat is cool, but the video is terrible, low resolution, poorly arranged, no narration, what a shame!

Amazing accomplishment, the crew that doesn’t get it have probably never designed and built anything...

If they could figure a way for the solar power to go directly to the motors once the batteries are full seems to be the issue... higher speed as well...

I did it cause I'm old and rich #yolo.

15 Millions euros... and you come up with an 85 ton slug that has it's propellers mostly outside the flow of water? The. Shear. Hubris. Of this design and construction is astonishing. You waste so much energy churning and lifting water above the surface in addition to the vortices created behind the flat transoms. You would have been faster and more efficient bolting together two sailing hulls with saildrives, replacing the diesels with electric motors. Probably about 1/3 the cost or better, too.

félicitation et un grand merci.

They're Hasidics - there is a like a 98%+ chance that is what they are. Corrupt, evil bastards.

A couple of these slowly cruising the world would make great vacation resorts, it beats the wore out tourist traps in the tropics. Going somewhere slow and quiet makes a restful vacation

Very shitty music! Better with mute on!

They get the award for the worst designed hull and propulsion system. Great idea. Poorly executed.

There's no one more deserving of a Knighthood,than this Lady "Dame Ellen the Brave"

podobno ekologicznych, produkt idiotów którzy gadają o ekologii w jachcie z ton żywic poliestrowych, włókna szklanego. totalnie wuprane mózgi. a do tego ten "cud techniki" psuł się bez przerwy. oba silniki miały awarie i kadłub nabierał wody. partanina, brakoroby.

it looks like a mini aircraft carrier.

you guys will go down in history as true pioneers. great job

It's pretty obvious this craft is a catamaran and a trimaran. the pontoons have enough boyency to keep the main hull out of the water when seas are calm. That is to keep the wetted surface to a minimum. Important when you have to keep energy use down. However when conditions get choppy the main hull keeps the vessel afloat. The whole concept is ingenious. It does look like the propellers are half blocked by the pontoons. What's with that?

you should add music to your videos

actual energy to build up ????

I have something in common with all the other people who left negative comments about this remarkable experiment. I am just sitting here in my underwear watching UA-cam videos and accomplishing nothing also !

Catamaran? Looks like a trimaran to me: hard to tell in this 1980s quality video though.

Neat! Definitely not as viable as sail but pretty interesting. Idk if solarpower is the only power (for cooking and systems). According to wikipedia cruising speed is 7.5 kn and max is 14. Slightly faster than a yacht's average, but sailing is still greener and more cost effective.

What do they eat, how do they cook food, by using the electricity generated by the solar panels?

Its cool they can lift the rear panels up and help progress. Probably more efficient if they made the panels out of something lighter say sailcloth for example and then put them a little higher maybe on a mast. I suppose they could then ditch some of that useless weight perhaps batteries and electric motors. Its all all a learning experience I suppose.

Did you see the bloke in the kayak slow down to let them pass !

Terrible video quality. is this cutting edge technology? Appears they are cruising at a snails pace, whats the point ? This is not going to win anyone over. Sail would be a huge improvement on this. Captain Cook would laugh at this progress.

Now this is what I call 21st century adventure

Chomsky makes no sense. He says governments routinely view their own people as enemies and withhold pertinent information from them, so why wouldn't state-sponsored terrorism be a likely premise in this case? 9/11 was a military coup d'état by the Pentagon and Federal Reserve. Hollywood made sure people would "never forget" by brainwashing us with predictive programming, preparing the public with the myth. The mega ritual occurred in the macrocosm but it also continues to occur in the microcosm of paper notes we call the "U$ Dollar". The attacks are literally printed in our money as part of a massive population control experiment that empowers the perpetrators. Literally, the fate of the economy and our entire American society depends on the events of this single day.

Truly amazing expedition fellas!

I can only see this as a record setter. And the guy comparing this to the Wright brothers. Are you high. People have been sailing around the world before oil was used for anything more then keeping a light. The mayflower would run circles around that thing. A sail can be fixed at sea. Can a solar panel? Would you want to? You can go pretty fast in gale force winds. This thing would only go with the wind which you would have to hope isn't pushing to away from your destination. And at 4 knots its not going to be easy to dodge storms. And in gale winds I'm sure you risk losing Amy wind generators you might have on board.

to much talking

tits
