The Solar Wing for Sailing

The Solar Wing-001


A solar collector in the shape of a wing, pivotally mounted at its base to a vehicle in the manner of a bird’s wing that allows multi-plane movement in order to adapt to prevailing wind and sun conditions. The heart of the concept is that the one structure is a hybrid energy collecting system, able to be used either for wind energy, or for solar energy, or preferably for both.
A cost-efficient, sustainable and non-polluting power source that harnesses two of the most fundamental and primitive sources of power available in nature.

By tapping renewable solar and wind energy the technology avoids pollution, greenhouse gases and noise.

The Vision of Solar Sailing

As the world becomes increasingly environmentally conscious, the eco-value of vessels will become as, if not more, important than the financial cost.
“We believe that these craft will be able to be designed and manufactured in virtually unlimited range of sizes, from small 20 passenger vessels to large vessels carrying hundreds of people, be they passenger ferries, sightseeing vessels or future ocean going ships.
Whilst the Company intends in the medium term to explore a variety of maritime applications, it believes that [Read more...]
