Calling a wind propelled ship genius and revolutionary when this concept and tech has been in use for thousands of years before the invention of steam and combustion engines? You gotta be kidding.
A wind powered boat that travels into the wind rather than against it is fairly new 😂 it’s not thousands of years old, and it’ll last a longer than a sail. Plus the Wright brothers only successfully flew with an airfoil plane in 1903, which is what this ship would use to harness the winds energy (creating air pressure) rather than wind resistance. Don’t breed pls and stay in school
What makes you think that this ship can sail against the wind? Also on half wind coarses the high freebord will cause a strong leeway drift. Nothing is mentioned on how to ensure stability. Yaghts have keels. How deep a keel woul this ship need. It is a pity that they didn't show more of the RC version sailing Riggid "wing"-type sails are also not new. Telescopic sails are. That however does not yield a revolutionairy concept
I would absolutely love it if we had this shit right now. I could imagine a prototype happening very soon. It’s simply a case of slowly scaling it up. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ship could even be 100% or nearly 100% clean if it relied on also solar to provide the necessary additional electricity. Considering the sales will comprise about 90% of what was previously done by the fossil fuels, it makes sense that remaining 10% could be switched out with batteries and solar energy. I look forward to seeing one of these ships in person. Will definitely need one of them up and operational before the end of the decade or we are in deep trouble.
I am a model yacht sailing racer, so I HAVE followed many vids of similar propulsion such as wave generated electric and solar power for ship movement , , GLAD to see WE are Progressing w/ this !!!! SO SAYETH CAP'N HAX,!!! ( Happy Fathers day to those that are a dad,)
I love the idea. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I highly doubt that we'll change course. We've been knowingly headed toward long term environmental catastrophe in exchange for short term profits for decades, and we have done little to change course.
A 100% reduction in cargo ship pollution would be making a plan for each country to become self sufficient and thus no longer use these ships. Such an obvious answer to the "pollution crisis," yet not an option, because the greed for power is the real crisis
I agreer with this hypothesis and we should immediately ban off sore boat drag racing and other un necessary marine high speed craft are 1000 times louder then a supply ship.
Using wind sails is cool and all. I want to see how you will express that to somebody who wants their products "now" rather than "tomorrow". I also don't see how this concept will be effective in terms of sailing in heavy seas versus service speed.
yes.....but what is new is the way we are restarting to use wind, much more efficiently, I love how the wing technology used in the Americas Cup foiling boats is being used for ship wind wing design Thank you Motech for a great video
Excellent design! As for the greenie push... Are you daft? Have you never learned that sound dissipates in energy by the inverse square law? 170 dB at 1 meter falls below 100 dB at 1 mile. 170 dB at 1 foot falls below 100 dB at 1 km. Your wild conjecture is unacceptible. Another route: Go nuclear, specifically, thorium. Furthermore, hydrogen economies via liquid hydrogen actually make sense for very large vehicles. H2O is the only
I CANT BELIEVE OUR DECADENCE, our auto manufacturers are putting out 700-800 horsepower cars from the factory , i dont understand our societal unconscious consumption,
Mankind is only beginning to scratch the surface of both what technology could achieve and the implications of using such technology. Every choice we make has an impact of some sort. Damming water eliminates fossil fuels but also impedes migration of animals and could increase earthquake risks. Windmills in wind farms also eliminates fossil fuel consumption but it has increased the fatalities of birds of prey as they perch on the highest objects to scan for prey. At this point a reduction in one issue is a good thing but what is the next thing that'll happen as a consequence of that decision. We as a species are far past returning to nature and living as hunter/gatherers and doning w/out the medical/technological advances we've made through just this past century. Make no mistake humans we can't harm the Earth .....but the Earth can harm us. The Earth has a balance and the warming Earth will eventually cool off at our expense. Anyone who understands the history of the Earth will know what I speak of as we are in an interglacial period of warming. Interglacials get progressively longer each time they occur and glacial periods remain consistent at roughly 90,000 years. We as a species were brought about the end of one Iceage (140,000yrs ago) and survived the last Iceage (11,000+yrs ago). I believe that the excellerated warming has pushed us to the tipping point of the shift of balance. It is the right thing to do to correct the mistakes of the past generations in their pursuit of ...power, but I feel future generations and possibly our generation will bear the consequences of nature's impending global cull.
I'm guessing shipping costs on this won't be lower than on conventional ships today. (Otherwise it would already have been done.) Which raises the question...why? Sure, people will think it sounds great, until they see how much more expensive literally EVERYTHING is, at which point they won't be able to abandon it fast enough.
The dolphin/whale section was unnecessary. If you ever been on the transatlantic ship, with propellers and all you would see them always play and swim in the front of the ship. Same goes for small motor catamarans.
Funny how we were told in the 70s "we have hit peak oil". But today we still somehow manage to use far far far more of it, yet never seem to run out. It's almost like the earth has a infinite supply, or maybe even produces 'fossil' fuels' as a natural circuit. I wonder how many dinosaurs actually walked the earth to fill seemingly none deplenishing oil wells.....all over the world.

Yeah, you are showing two types of sails there, single element which is retractable, but is completely useless. And then a 2 element sail that would suck the ship along pretty well, but is not retractable. The whole concept is flawed. Not quite sure why they chose a Ro-Ro for this. They are too heavy enough and fall over often. Adding weight and windage aloft is not going to help for shit.
The Earth is cooler w the atmos/GHGs/albedo not warmer. To perform as advertised the GHGs require "extra" energy upwelling from the surface radiating as a black body. The kinetic heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmos molecules render that scenario impossible. No greenhouse effect, no GHG heating, no man/CO2 driven climate change or Gorebal warming.
None of what you just said makes scientific sense, and no-one familiar with what the words you're using mean, or how the scientific method operates, would take those claims seriously or promote them. The claims about how physics works featured in that particular faction of pseudoscience cannot be reconciled with how matter and energy behave in the lab or when observed and measured in nature. Whereas the descriptions of how matter and energy behave, as used by climatological models, _has_ been tested by empirical experiment and observation. To introduce new physics they'd have to show it actually happening in real life and measure it. But that won't happen because they're apparently not interested in making scientific sense, and the fake hypothesis is aimed entirely at people who aren't interested in or familiar with science.
@@Will-xk4nm What you believe is religion. What you think is opinion. What you know is science. Here's what we know.
