Greetings fellow sailors.

As most of you know my goal is to build a zero emissions cargo
sailing vessel.
The zero emissions part will require some fancy engineering and
advanced electronic controls to capture the kinetic energy via a CVP
prop.

I can use some serious engineering support and Toyota thinks it a
good enough ideal to have people vote on it.

If you want to see it happen, please lend your support at

Do you plan to use the captured energy to supply house loads or to use
it as recharge/propulsion when the wind dies?- Hide quoted text -

Both would be the goal.....zero emissions. They have some very good
re-generative systems and nickel-metal hydride and lithium-ion
batteries. The boat would have plenty of room for some huge battery
banks.
