Conceived to be the “boat of the future,” the all-new Navier 30 adds a little length over the Navier 27 concept that preceded it while remaining true to the vessel’s ambitious high-tech approach. It will deliver nearly double the all-electric range of … Continue reading Semi-autonomous long-range electric hydrofoil plots course to the future
Tiger sharks have a strong symbiotic relationship with seagrass ecosystems, playing the role of apex predator to prevent overgrazing by other species while at the same time patrolling the underwater meadows for sustenance. Scientists studying these spe… Continue reading Tiger sharks with cameras map out the world’s largest seagrass system
Normally, Sweden building its first new class of submarines in 30 years wouldn’t be of as much interest, but Saab laying the keel of its first Blekinge-class (A26) boat on June 30 as Sweden waits to join NATO signals a shift in the balance of power in … Continue reading Sweden’s new submarine could shift balance of power in the Baltic Sea
Wind power is a promising source of green energy and one that could feature in the production of green hydrogen. UK startup Drift Energy shows a different spin on that idea. Instead of creating windmill-derived electricity, its plan involves using AI-r… Continue reading Startup believes AI-guided hydrofoil flotilla is key to green hydrogen
Renewable energy potential is not distributed evenly. Japan, for example, has sub-par solar potential and nowhere near the wind potential of Western Europe or the United States. It’s also currently ranked fifth in the world for electricity consumption,… Continue reading Japan tests deep-ocean current turbines in search of new renewables
SpearUAV has released its Ninox 103 UW Sub-to-Air encapsulated autonomous quadcopter, which it claims is the first loitering drone that can be launched from a submarine and other submerged platforms for immediate beyond-line-of-sight situational awaren… Continue reading First quadcopter drone that can be launched from a submarine underwater
The wreck of one of the most famous exploration ships in history has been located. Using a robotic submersible, the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust has found Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance, which was crushed in the Antarctic pack ice in 1915.Conti… Continue reading Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance found after 107 years under the ice
Going from water sports action to luxury cruising, and moving from the waters of Tahoe to the shores of Miami, Florida’s Ingenity has followed up its rowdy electric Super Air Nautique 22E multi-sport boat with the more humble 23E day boat. Along the wa… Continue reading Ingenity day boat dunks electric skateboard tech in the water
Candela aims to smash electric boat range records with its C-8, using a hydrofoil system that eliminates as much as 80 percent of the drag you’d get from a conventional design. The first prototype C-8 has now flown, and Candela has released video.Conti… Continue reading Candela celebrates the first flight of its C-8 electric hydrofoil boat
Whales are famous for feeding by gulping down huge amounts of water to capture tiny krill. But how do they do this without drowning themselves with every mouthful? Researchers have now discovered an “oral plug” in the throats of some species that block… Continue reading Newly discovered “oral plug” keeps whales from drowning as they dine
