Too big. Takes away from the whole sailing experience.

Cool. Make it cost-effective and efficient and I'm absolutely sure it can redefine an appropriate part of the market.

Darn, keep on going. It's great to see how big the base is next to people.

it looks like that rescure boat from movie 2012

Solar, wind gens?

So much knowledge & truth out their, but we will always be starved off it. Knowledge is Power...

You should get the Nobel prize for...floggin' the donkey!!🤣😂🤪🫡

Are we expecting a flood soon due to man made fire raining from the sky??? This looks like the modern day Noah. Only this time it will reflect that one movie where only the rich will have a ticket….

The carbon footprint to build offsets any gain in fake green propaganda.

Nonsense.

Reminds me of good old 3500BC

Blah blah blah talking talking talking but never showing anything. Absolute scam bullshit.

Bullshit

This channel is incredible. Not a SINGLE proof and showing anything actually working. Just CGI or other bullshit, where nothing of value has ever been build. Never, NEVER EVER, will this retarded idea be attachted to actual ships. This is a total and 100% scam project to rip off investors. No matter how much videos on this channel I view: Absolutely NOTHING of any value has been build so far.

Still absolutely nothing to show off. Scam.

Nothing but CGI bullshit. This is 100% a scam. Total absolute scam that rips off investors. The idea itself is so completely stupid, it's unbelievable.

You will never go "to the market" anyhow. Your idea is ridiculous and stupid and not a single ship will ever be "enhanced" with this garbage. This is 100% a scam. No "intelligent" person would ever think this will lead to anything.

Everything about that is so fucking stupid, I cannot stop laughing.

"The wind carries a shipping revolution" "The future of shipping is here" HAHAHAHHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. Nothing of value produced: Checked. CGI Bullshit: Checked. Retarded stupid idea that was invented centuries ago but is done WAY worse now: Checked. Is Elon Musk involved in this project? It's so stupid, he has to, right?

what makes ocean bird different from any other sailing ship?

💕Wow🤍💜💜💜💜💜🤍

Seriously? That hull has vastly more square footage than those 'sails' so this is nothing more than a non-sailor's idea of what a futuristic ' sailing ship would look like. There's at least 5-6 stories of freeboard lol so in order for those sails to have any effect at all upwind, that contraption would have to draw 100' IE it cannot ever enter any port. This is what a non-sailor billionaire would sketch on a cocktail napkin thinking it's cutting-edge. Reminds me of a certain completely idiotic 'futuristic' stainless steel pickup that everyone laughs at these days. At least the cybertruck can actually drive down the road.

Won't the sails get in the way when loading the container?

Using wind would have been so much cheaper than all the tech needed to make this work. They used rope, hemp, wood to sale the world. Now, someone thought this was was more cost effective and friendly to the environment. ECO's are so up their own sometimes they don't see the sun. Much like all the art destroyer who think of themselves as activists..

I'm trying to grasp the wing design.... having the wings curved will Decrease the amount of energy pushed upon it by wind. it's too aerodynamic, which in wind propulsion is a Bad thing it won't catch the wind that's so easily flowing around its curved wing. am I wrong? I don't understand why it's not flat or concave to catch the wind more efficiently.

I understand that the concept of Oceanbird is net zero. So why does not Oceanbird have solar panels and windturbines? The energy from the wind when in port is wasted (no wind turbine) and the energy obtainable from the sun is ignored?

With plenty of space on the wings for a Jolly Roger, and a naked lady out front. :) But seriously, the machinery will be massively heavy, and moving parts really suck, and the wind is often not suitable for sailing, and it will add a big heeling force so passengers are out. This is one of those times, when I think the idea of a modern vessel with solid, computer-controlled sails, is infinitely superior to the reality. The sheer expense of bracing these things, and all that mass up top would be a big issue. The slowness of their response could be a very big issue. Maintaining them would be problematic, no matter what they're made of. You'd have all the problems of modern wind turbines, but on a mobile, salt-laden platform! It would seem to be on an absolute knife edge, whether they could reduce the total cost of ownership over the lifespan of the vessel - because adding a second mode of power is exceedingly expensive on a boat. And you need additional crew to manage and maintain them while underway. The operating expenses would not be low. I look forward to seeing if anyone has balls big enough to invest in such a "modern" design.

The first cargo vessels were sailed. So nothing new. Show me something real not just animated.

Do you have scaled down prototype to show off?

who would have thought of propelling a ship with the wind?... oh thats right... D'oh!

Why doesn't Oceanbird have any wind turbines or solar panels?

Oceanbird is the green future of shipping. 😊❤

This looks great! do you have any expected performance numbers per sail yet? I do miss the first concept though. It was very elegant, but would have been very hard to build with the telescoping sails.

Why doesn't Oceanbird have any wind turbines or solar panels?

Oceanbird is the most powerful and beautiful looking wind powered ship in the world. I'm with Oceanbird and green energy of shipping. 🌏🌍🌎🌃🌅🌬🛳🧑🏻‍✈️👩🏻‍✈️💚

Bravo🤗🥂🇿🇦

i love the idea....congratulations

АВВА супер группа!Спасибо за музыку АВВА❤вы лучшие🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

Looking forward to 2027!

Another reason to like ABBA.. I wouldn't have suspected. 😊

Superb!

Yes but can it sail directly into the wind?

Did Joel do the right thing by saving Ellie ?

One of the limits to wind power is the kinetic energy available to be harvested in the mass of air it is possible to contain. Another is the scale of the operation; when sailing ships were being succeeded by power driven vessels the largest that were built included the ‘Prußen’ and the ‘Thomas W Larsen’. The ‘Prußen’ used a crew of 45 to move up to 8 100 tonnes of cargo and was lost at sea following a collision with a power driven vessel. The ‘Thomas W Larsen’ used a crew of 18 to move up to 11 000 tonnes of cargo this vessel was lost when at anchor in the Scilly Isles where she was sheltering from a storm. The scale of merchant shipping in the modern age is much higher than in the early twentieth century when these events occurred. Aerofoil ‘sails’ work by combining the ‘lift’, which in marine terms acts horizontally (not vertically), from the wing with the pressure from the angle of attack of the air movement to create a driving force (thrust); which though more efficient than a traditional mast, cordage & fabric system that it may be is still, on a much larger scale, like trying to ‘push a brick across a table with the output from a hairdryer’. On board wind turbine might get you around some of the problems, however for marine use vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) would be better than the, what have now become 'traditional', horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT); for reasons that include the air draught of the vessel, weight distribution and maintenance access. The energy yield, which is low compared to combustion of hydrocarbon, is still subject to the wind blowing at the right strength and having space available on board for the hardware. The rotors, masts, rigging and sail handling arrangements would take up 'prime real estate' on the vessel. Fuel oil bunker tanks can be, and usually are, stuck away in any odd corner and the ICE power plants are themselves relatively compact. The stacked up 'boxes' would mean putting the wind driven propulsion units in a bad situation from a ship stability point of view. There is much discussion of 'decarbonising' the marine commercial industry and various wind power ideas are offered; such as Flettner rotors, kite sails, traditional sails and wind turbines. The factor that seems to go unconsidered is relative wind direction and VAWT would seem to be the only option that could cope with that variable. The availability of the wind, the amount of energy that could be gathered from it and the cost of the installation receive little consideration but on the limited information circulated VAWT seems to be the best of a poor group compared to hydrocarbon fuel.

Is wind tunnel air the same as natural wind? Wind tunnel air is perfectly steady and constant - but natural wind is not constant - it has lulls and gusts and turbulence. Wind tunnel air is perfect for aircraft but is it a good simulation of the natural wind?

Yes... soon hopefully.

Great info. Love this company. But the band "Muddy Waters" would liven up this session. Maybe next time :)

seems legit! You just invented the sail!

So much BS in the first 50 seconds. Most of us know that a wing does NOT work like this! More crap follows the next 30 seconds! Delete that video!

This revolutionary technology that's been around for thousands of years is going to change the world!!! Absolutely incredible
