Because we see it so less. actually, the netherlands is a european leader in solar power, getting as much as i7% of its energy from the sun. lex is a bit of a world leader, too. in 2012, he co—founded the team that went on to win the solar challenge cruiser race across the australian outback four times in a row. unsurprisingly, the design of lightyear one is somewhat more conventional. now, solar cells are getting better and better at turning sunlight into electricity, but lex's company is more focused on making what energy it can harvest go further. the result will be the most energy—effi...

Under this 25—foot craft is a wing for hydroplaning and sensors that collect hundreds of data points every second. you'll have to take the passenger seat first. 0k. and then we'll let you drive. we need to stabilise it, much like a fighterjet. then we feel how we're oriented, where we are in the world, and then about 100 times per second, we are adjustable by twisting it and changing the angle to keep stable. this is where it gets exciting. let's go. wow! i can feel the sensation of the boat lifting up. it does actually feel like we're flying. and without the hull in the water, it's using 80...

Unsurprisingly, the design of lightyear one is somewhat more conventional. now, solar cells are getting better and better at turning sunlight into electricity, but lex's company is more focused on making what energy it can harvest go further. the result will be the most energy—efficient five—seater on the market when it launches, with a ruthlessly aerodynamic design weighing about half a tesla model s, and which trades the crazy acceleration of that beast for range and efficiency. so, the tendency has been for electric cars to look at high acceleration and large batteries. so, because of t...

Ago and beat a race driver that was easier than i was expecting so let's do this. seat belt on, everybody! i took to this like a duck to water. well, after a few big unplanned splashes. that feels faster than you went. pull it down a bit. i'm heading for the big waves. whoa — whoa! that was amazing! good work! i barely felt those. a very different experience to our producer's boat. thank you for the warning! it's a leader amongst its electric peers, but i do wonder if prices — starting from around $300,000 — might stall adoption, especially when similar—sized motorboats can still trave...
