Solar Voyager is a small solar boat
built by two good friends, Isaac Penny and Christopher Sam Soon.
In the process of building the small boat, the two did not seek investment or sponsorship
from any business.
Now Solar Voyager is trying to cross the Atlantic from Massachusetts to Portugal, and the small boat is powered by solar energy and is expected to complete the 3,000km journey
within 4 months.
If all goes well, the Solar Voyager will be the first vessel to cross the Atlantic autonomously, and the first to do so entirely on solar energy
.
Unlike other solar-powered boats made from improvised kayaks, the Solar Voyager is made of
aluminum alloy as a whole.
Its powertrain is equipped with anti-scale propellers and locally tested electronics
.
In addition, the entire ship was sprayed with an anti-barnacle coating to prevent the hull from getting entangled in this stubborn creature during the 4-month sea voyage
.
With a total length of four meters and a width of 0.
3 meters, Solar Voyager is equipped with 280-watt solar panels capable of generating 7kWh of electricity (3kWh in winter).
Its team was able to monitor its location
through satellite tracking and data transmission modules on board.
Every 15 minutes, the Iridium satellite network transmits detailed operational data of SolarVoyager, including speed, bearing, motor power, solar cell status, and GPS coordinate system
.
Christopher and Penny said: "We've been thinking about replacing fossil materials with solar energy to make something that can always run
.
Using fossil fuels as an energy source cannot create long-running drones, maritime safety data collectors, or equipment
for observing wildlife.
Solar energy is not only an alternative energy source, it is also the best solution
.
It makes the impossible possible
.
In addition, the two are looking for a shipowner in Lisbon, Portugal, to help them recover the SolarVoyager
in October.
