Solar Speedboat

Posted by Alex Zalben



Continuing our in depth look at things you can’t actually do this Memorial Day, it’s the Dutch, Solar Powered Speedboat that isn’t yet available for sale!

That being said, hopefully it will be publicly available, soon. The virtually silent boat runs 55.5 km/h, and seats three people. So not the biggest or faster boat out there, but it’s not the slowest or the smallest, either (that would be this one). And, it’s completely green, as the body is wrapped in photoelectric cells. This is, of course, super important in the water… It doesn’t solve that pesky “sucking fish into your engine” problem, but it does cut down on fuel leak into the water, as well as that annoying speedboat noise we all loathe so much.

Check out a video of the green-boat in action:
