Thank you. I have been trying to follow this boat, but didn't know about the kite. First they had wind turbines and then they went to sail on either side that auto raised and lowered, but now it looks like the have gotten rid of those and now are going with a kite. They have reported that they are going to Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology which combines Hydrogen with another liquid and make like a diesel oil that can be stored at room temps and regular pressure. It wont explode or catch on fire. They then can extract the Hydrogen to make electric energy. This is my understand how LOHC works but I'm not 100% sure and have been trying to get more information on it. That being said I don't how this guy got Millions of dollars to build this boat and to keep making modifications.
what an eye sore too :D
Li-on power cells are nice and all but yes their dirty secret is how they are produced. Sol cells too.

Green sells. I figure he probably gets tones of money from organizations that want a tax write off.
Interesting. But, Ugh. Aweful boat.
