This is super cool and it makes you wonder why it wasn't thought of
before. Here's a boat that can get you around the World on little to
no petrol depending on your skills:
A brief description of the principle involved:
* Complete installation is composed of two electrical motors
connected to propellers by straight shaft transmissions, one generator
and two sets of 6 batteries.
* When batteries are 100% charged, the boat will be able to
function with both motors for approximately two hours (depending on
speed).
* When batteries are 80% charged, the generator will
automatically start and charge the batteries and provide electricity
for the motors.
* When sailing, propellers will turn freely and charge batteries.
