Solar boat // concept

The boat ment to be an ecological way of spending free time on water, especialy in nature reserves.
5 solar panels provide energy for the engine.
Based on the spatial attributes of both racing and user comfort, this 6.2 x2.4 sq m craft will be fully powered by photovoltaic cells. The drive train consists of a 4kW motor integrated with a LiFePO4 battery pack. The solar paneling array is spread over an area of 6 sq m, and the power output from this setup provides an average speed of 8 km/hr, with top speed romping up to 14 km/hr. The overall speed can tend to be on the lower side (in comparison to racing crafts), but the zero emission power train also generates clean electricity for on-board utilities such as refrigerator, audio equipment, GPS navigation and lighting.
