Solar Sail Technology the Powering Force behind International Shipping

Emerging Technology News. 28th February 2011.

Ships have been crossing the ocean for a long time, originally harnessing the power of the wind in their sales, and then using fossil fuels to power tankers which give off carbon emissions and contribute to global warming. But now solar sail technology has been introduced to the shipping industry, which uses energy from the sun to power the ship for a more eco-friendly way of getting from port to port. Read more...

Wind-Powered Cargo Ships Make a Comeback

Clean Technica. 28th February 2011.

Sailing ships once carried much of the world’s cargo across the seas, until canvas sheets were replaced by low-grade “bunker” oil. Now it appears that wind power is about to make a comeback, in the form of rigid “sails” that double as solar panels. The patent-pending technology, called the Aquarius Solar and Wind Marine Power System, is being developed by a company called Eco Marine Power. The dream of a high tech, sustainable energy cargo ship has been percolating for a number of years now, but it hasn’t caught on in a big way, so let’s see if this new system is The One. Read More...
