The Wind-Sun-Waves driven sailing machine is a yacht concept, meant to be environmentally correct, where energies from Wind, Sun and Waves are utilized for ballasting, propulsion and on board energy maintenance.
The ultimate goals are:
- to make easy to use, environmentally friendly sailboat
- to make the boat more energy self-sufficient
- to make the boat faster by using: solar energy, waves energy and wing-sail for propulsion – sometimes all types of energy are utilized simultaneously
It seems to be possible to achieve these objectives by two innovations:
- the first one is by using automatic controlled multimember active lateral ballast system
- the second one is by using automatically controlled technology from inside a variable wing-sail
