SkySails este partener al Race for Water, datorită cunoștințelor lor, nava este echipată cu un zmeu care permite Race for Water să traverseze oceanele în special cu vântul. Fundația Race for Water este dedicată conservării apei și în special a oceanelor. Astăzi, amenințată serios de poluarea cu plastic, este imperativ ca această resursă esențială pentru viață să fie protejată. Pentru a preveni deșeurile de plastic să ajungă în căile navigabile și oceane prin dezvoltarea de modele sociale și modele de afaceri care dau valoare deșeurilor de plastic și, prin urmare, încurajează colectarea acestora.

PARTENERI – SkySails : Remorcarea unei nave cu un zmeu
Wouldn't it be better to have it down lower?,i mean normal sails that inflate can pick up more air ,with the kite pulling up,there is zero to hardly any forward momentum by the looks,apologies in advance if it appears i don't know what i'm talking about,i'll go back to my beer now,carry on. 😉
That's going to cause a bunch of UFO reports, but very cool. Too bad you can't do a stack of increasingly larger kites.
Qui a inventé se concept c une idée de génie absolue
Peut-être qu'on peut ajouter une antenne relais pour relier le réseau GSM avec le réseau lifi
Why not rocket launch a kite 50× larger 3× the altitude ?
maybe it should be used to charge the ship battery during the day while solar panel power the propeler. so during the night the battery is full and can be used or just keep the kite to powerup powur the motor.
Can you do it? Sure.
Would that be practical especially for short handed sailing? I doubt that.
You are going nowhere. Seriously there is no propulsion from this sail as indicate from the lack of trail behind the boat. Nothing absolutely nothing.
I don’t get it.. how tidi you steer / control it
now add a second kite that will power the batteries and you never have to stop
"Propulsing"????? it's in your goddamn title…
holy shite please tell me you have heard the word "Propelling" before!
Daig yall be boaten huh?!
There's no such word as "propulsing"… Clickbait is easily spotted because they often make up their own words in the title.
🤣
What the heck is Nds??
Hmm….
This craft has "huge" solar panels – they even extend, and a computer-designed hull, yet generates a maximum of 165 HORSEPOWER under IDEAL conditions giving a 5.5 MPH top speed (unassisted by the battery reserve, which is needed to run systems at night) This is roughly like putting a MEDIUM SIZE jet-ski engine on board to "Propulse" a many ton Yacht.
What the sail adds is prolly barely noticeable, but it would be at least SOME thrust at night.
For y'all stuck in the Metric system…..123KW…..8.85kph…..
There is no such word as "propulsing" … the word is "propelling" … are you American or something? Also, what are the units you are using for speed? "Nds", not heard of those before, how do they relate to Knots?
Looks cool and could be fun to fly.
But as far as a real sailing option coastline sure.
But blue water sailing no way to dangerous and unpredictable.
needs a box kite trial. or a really large standard triangular kite. i built a 15 foot triangular kite. it lifted off extremely stable. i did not have the line for it. it sat on the side of 330 pelton. scrz
Has anybody attempted ocean crossing with skysails ?
good job！
solar plan boat.
Saw 9 knots indicated somewhere! It looked like the yacht was standing still!
How do you avoid running over the sail when it comes down?
OH! Go fly a kite!
M-Kay.
this is literally how a sailboat works
this is literally just a sailboat with extra steps
I hate this yacht for it's botched propellers…
A kite power generator is also available.
Why not just add a main and a mast
Nice but I assume it only works with the wind from behind, or a very narrow backwind angle? So basically a flying spinnaker.
The proven Sail assisted technology developed by the Japanese works well.
It will most likely be used on hybrid vessels to create zero emissions.
Enjoy our beautiful Ocean Planet.
# HeroesAtSea.
It would be nice to know the wind angles it can be used
Also the min and max wind speed it's safe to fly.
Its a great idea. No power use at all
Why is the flight time only limited to 9 hours?
I feel the lifecycle cost of using a kite like this, the crew needed to maintain it, the compromises you have to make on yacht design, and the pain of slowness and wind direction problem is much higher than the cost of fuel you are trying to save. Just buy a motor yacht and call it a day.
What unit is nds, knots?
Have look at my channel, Kiteboating upwind and downwind, gybing and tacking !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uToF9SwPLgA
thank you so much for this excessive engineering feat. this is an idea ive kicked in my head for so many years, it's amazing to see the answers in front of me so clearly… the figure 8, the strobe light, the ship-based localisation…. truly you've saved me countless hours of mental wrangling and i feel like buying a winch and arduino for my boat!!!
