In
1995 it was proposed by our designer that a solar powered boat would be
able to circumnavigate the globe using only energy from nature. He
displayed the first of his development models at the Earls Court boat
show in London into 1996.
On
the 4th of May 2012 the theory was proven to be correct by Raphael
Domjan and his superb boat the Turanor Planetsolar, thanks to
generous sponsorship by Candido
Swiss watches and Immosolar,
leaders in the field of solar energy
management.
Now
the benchmark has been set, it will undoubtedly inspire others. As with
so many things once a pioneer has shown the way, inevitably, the record
stands like mountain to be scaled.
Solarnavigator
is a battery electric trimaran with an extremely efficient hull that
runs on solar power
With
a boat the most important component on the agenda is the hull. Solar
powered boats provide marine architects with new challenges. There are
as yet no conventions. Nobody knows what will work best, because so
little has been put to the test. We can attest to that because we've
tried 5 hull designs to date, improving on each one. Two SWATH designs,
two catamarans and a trimaran. The 6th design is not strictly speaking a
trimaran, it does though have three hulls; so we're billing it as a
trimaran. A hull design like this has not been built like this to date,
to overcome the ever present drag and wave drag dilemma.
The
other major challenge is panel design. How do you increase panel area
and get as much of it facing the sun when the sun moves relative to the
route, and of course keep the boat stable in all seas. We wanted at
least 2 kilowatts per ton of vessel mass and can comfortably achieve
that.
Not
to detract from the incredible achievements of the PlanetSolar team, but
the SolarNavigator project aims to improve on the record 0f 585 days set
in May 2012 with our brand new design with more than twice the power to
weight ratio of the current record holder.
This
project represents a unique opportunity for any global company with eco
friendly ambitions. If this is of interest to you please let Blueplanet
Productions know using the contact details below. See the
breathtaking video of PlanetSolar below to get a handle on the sort of
publicity that Solarnavigator can generate.
