Eco Factor: Concept boat powered by solar energy.
Solar energy seems to be getting on the minds of the designers who are always looking forward for ways to use this abundant energy to power gadgets and vehicles that till now have made use of fossil fuels in one way or the other. Muhammad Imran is one such designer who has thought of powering a boat with roof-mounted solar cells, which if need be can be supplemented by diesel.

Known as the Sea Raider, the boat is equipped with PV modules which collect energy during the day to power the boat and recharge the on-board batteries. During the day the boat can power itself using the harnessed solar energy and during nighttime the boat’s batteries take over the system, ensuring a zero-emission cruise irrespective of the time of the day.

In case your cruise takes longer than expected on an overcast day, the engine can be fueled with diesel till the day breaks. The boat is also equipped with a water treatment system that too runs on solar energy to provide potable water during the cruise.
