Trans RINA, Vol 153, Part C1, Intl J Marine Design, Jul - Dec 2011 4.1 EXAMPLE – PLASTIKI
Built from PET, recycled plastic bottles, the Plastiki is powered by wind, sun and pedal power. It is built to create awareness about the waste of plastic bottles
Its architecture with carbon zero emission is eco- designed from renewable energies.
It creates positive energy, meaning it produces more energy than it consumes.
4.2 EXAMPLE - PHYSALIA
Its roof contains a double pneumatic membrane with soft photovoltaic solar modules. Under its hull the hydro- turbines transform the energy of the fluvial stream into hydro-electricity. Its surface is made of aluminium covering the multi-hull steel structure. A TiO2 layer of Anatase covers this silver-plated coat. By reacting to the ultraviolet rays, this enables to reduce water pollution.
In addition to being a self-cleaning vessel, it enables to absorb and recycle by photo-catalytic effect, the chemical and carbon waste from the fluvial water rejected by the traditional boats and industry [6].
The skill of designers is to project in the future. What will the requirements and expectations of
future
yachtsmen and women be? What will the social aspects of sailing mean? Will we manage to design boats that will become breeding places for plankton or sanctuaries for fish? Should boats clean the sea while sailing? Will we be able to create boats that will not require recycling but instead will become nutrients for the sea and will create coral reef on the seabed? Designers are there to challenge preconceived ideas and help define visions for the future.
5. CONCLUSIONS
Our industry could benefit from a transfer of technology looking at developments of the automotive industry. The integration of
the recycling and dismantling thought
process into the creation process of the development of yachts helps to create yachts for tomorrow, which, the day after tomorrow can be recycled even more efficiently, economically, and with cleaner results.
6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank Coventry University Boat Design course director Sean McCartan for inviting LADIDA design to join the visionary project EBDIG, promoting the essential cooperation with designers, building a platform for innovation and exchange and encouraging the transfer of innovation with the automotive industry.
