Wandering Ark Hydrogen Powered Trimaran

Wandering Ark

Wandering Ark is a concept for a hydrogen powered trimaran designed as a floating habitat at sea. The hull combines a trimaran form with an X bow shape to provide strong stability in different sea conditions. A large superstructure offers living space for residents. Solar, wind and wave systems collect energy, and a seawater hydrogen production system stores hydrogen on board. Fuel cells convert the stored hydrogen into electricity for propulsion and daily use. Water is the only emission of the process, so the vessel reaches zero emissions.

Skybridge Unmanned Helicopter

Skybridge

Skybridge is an unmanned helicopter designed for cargo delivery from ships to islands without ports. The airframe follows the streamlined forms of marine organisms to reduce drag and energy use. The fuselage panels are molded in one piece from composite materials, and the internal structure uses carbon fiber for a 32 percent weight reduction. A multi-hook suspension and undercarriage winches allow a payload of 260 kilograms at altitudes up to 6,000 meters and in winds of 12 meters per second. Operators on a support vessel control the helicopter remotely, guided by onboard cameras and sensors.
