nice outfit by the way. thanks. i m taking the world temperature to assess all our actions. stockholm, capital of sweden and the city of islands, and the city of islands 14 of them, to be precise which makes water transport a big thing around these parts. so, today, i ve decided to take the ferry. but this is no ordinary ferry, because this ferry can fly. this is the candela p 12, the prototype of a ferry which would go into service injuly 2024, and at its cruising speed of 25 knots, narrow wings called hydrofoils provide huge amounts of lift. in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surface. i ve started to notice more and more boats and even windsurfs and kite surfs having these foils underneath the board so the entire thing can lift out of the water. and because hardly any of the boat is having to push through the water, it doesn t need as powerful a motorcar and that means there s something el
sustainability stories. this week, is it a boat or a plane? i am on board the ferry that can fly! why has nobody made an electric hydrofoil, flying ferry before? i think the main reason is it is freaking hard! we are in india where solar dryers are battling food waste. and an eye in the sky on energy use. nice outfit by the way. thank you. i m taking the world temperature to assess climate action. stockholm, capital of sweden and the city of islands, 14 of them to be precise, which makes water transport a big thing around these parts. so today i have decided to take the ferry. but this is no ordinary ferry. because this ferry can fly! this is the candela p i2, the prototype of a ferry which should go into service injuly 2024 and its cruising speed of 25 knots and wings called hydrofoils provide huge amounts of lift in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surface. i ve started to notice more and more bo
there have been creative ways of reusing wind turbine blades, like this bike shed. they ve even been repurposed for playgrounds, bridges and building cladding. but this won t really tackle the growing volumes. one immediate solution is to chop up and finely shred them. it s burned as fuel and used as an ingredient for cement production. this us plant has already handled more than 3,500 unwanted blades. now, turbine makers siemens gamesa have had a breakthrough of its own. it manufactures some of the world s biggest blades at its site here. and while this one looks like any other, it can be recycled. it all comes down to a resin called epoxy, which acts like a really
that goes to land filling, it s not truly sustainable. it s a problem players have been scrambling to figure out. and we might now have some answers. there have been creative ways of reusing wind turbine blades, like this bike shed. they ve even been repurposed for playgrounds, bridges and building cladding. but this won t really tackle the growing volumes. one immediate solution is to chop up and finely shred them. it s burned as fuel and used as an ingredient for cement production. this us plant has already handled more than 3,500 unwanted blades. now, turbine makers siemens gamesa have had a breakthrough of its own. it manufactures some of the world s biggest blades at its site here.
