Catching a wave from Hawaii to Japan
Mar. 17 - Japanese adventurer sets out across the Pacific in the world's first wave-powered boat.
The vessel for Kenichi Horie's latest adventure has two wings in front which convert the energy from waves into a movement similar to a dolphin's kicks, making it the world's first boat to be powered by the vertical motion of waves. The trip is meant in part to promote the commercial viability of the invention built by a team at Japan's Tokai University.
