I'm fascinated with the concept of #Hydrogeneration -- using waves to generate electricity in a moving boat! Kinda like a flywheel generator on a bicycle!

#Sailors embrace green tech with electric motors and #solar power

Advances in eco-friendly options are persuading some yacht owners to ditch diesel

"When the wind dies, sailing boats typically rely on diesel engines, which are noisy and polluting. Now, just as electric motors are taking over the auto industry, electric motors are winning over sailors, too.

"Two years ago, the Metstrade exhibition design winner was #Oceanvolt, a Helsinki-based electric motor manufacturer. The company is one of the few in the world that sells a completely electric propulsion system — which combines solar panels on deck with batteries to generate electricity.

"The Oceanvolt propulsion system is also innovative in its use of hydrogeneration. When a sailboat is enjoying good wind and is moving without a motor, the Oceanvolt propellers can generate electricity as the water flows past them. Oceanvolt says its system can generate up to five kilowatts of power to charge equipment and batteries, depending on how fast the boat is going."

Bang bang
You shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My country hit the ground

Everyone in the military is a Nazi scum, too. There were no such distinctions made after World War II.

You are Nazi scum. You can't handle the truth.

JFK - bullet to the head
RFK - bullet to the head
MLK, Jr. - bullet to the head
Adolf Hitler - bullet to the head

General Liar, you're a Nazi, too.

Do #sailors always use #nautical miles rather than kilometres? #NauticalMiles
I ask because I was wondering how long it would take to sail from #Iona to #Ballycastle - apparently about 15 hours; maybe a two-day trip with a short rest at #Islay

This fragile #Christmas pudding is believed to be the last surviving from a batch of 1,000 sent to naval personnel during the Boer War at Christmas in 1900.

The puddings were commissioned by Dame Agnes Weston, a philanthropist known for her kindness to #sailors.
