'SOLARSPORT HYDRORACER™' - ZERO EMISSION (BLUE GROWTH) 'CLIMATE CRUSADER™'

 

 

Leo Perrin, youth project lead: JVH2 SolarSport HydroRacer EU Mission save our water & planet earth

 

FEBRUARY 2024 - Further hull development took place in 2023 to improve performance, to allow the taking of two Guinness World Records with one vessel, necessitating an increase in the diameter of the original jig base and tower locators - mainly to accommodate off the shelf components - rather than be forced to manufacture bespoke electronics. We thus calculated the need for larger hull tubes, now being installed in March 2024, the equivalent of laying a keel. Fortunately, the wooden jig was relatively easy to adapt, since many man hours were invested in the tower design and joinery. We did not want to start all over again, unless absolutely necessary. As you can see, the spruce and plywood frame on which the solar panels are mounted, fitted like a glove, when re-installed. Now, the forming of revised alloy ends and foils can continue. Followed by fitting of the solar wings, drives and sun tracking electronics. It will be a miniature of the real control system. The Swann can set the 1st hydrogen record, and beat the existing solar record.

SOLARSPORT HYDRORACER - The 'Elizabeth Swann JVH2' can be solar or hydrogen powered, or both: Dual Fuel. This fast eco yacht generates onboard electricity via PV panels, storing it in batteries - making her energy autonomous as a reserve. Meaning it is within our grasp to travel Around The World In 80 days: zero emissions. This is a test for port authorities and fleet operators all over the globe, perhaps a subject for COP29. The Elizabeth Swann is a Plastic Free Boat. It's enough to make a humpback whale leap for joy.

 

 

 

THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY CARRIES AROUND 90% OF WORLD TRADE 

 

It would be fair to say that shipping is the life blood of the global economy, and very necessary in United Nations circular economy terms, called, Sustainability Development Goals, or SDGs.

 

Some 11 billion tons of goods are transported by ship each year. Representing 1.5 tons per person based on the current global population. Ocean bound freight carriage is set to grow significantly by 2050, along with exhaust emissions, save for IMO and EU targets.

As of 2019, the total value of the annual world shipping trade had reached more than $14 trillion US Dollars. The shipping industry moves nearly 1 billion tons of iron ore, and 350 million tons of grain annually. These shipments would not be possible by road, rail or air.

The race is on, for the Jules Verne Hydrogen Trophy.

 

There is as yet no hydrogen (only) navigation record to beat. The opportunity to be the first only comes once. We are hoping to be able to make Jules Verne's dream come true, with our World Hydrogen Challenge Bunkering Route (published in draft in July 2021).

 

Please contact the Foundation for the latest opportunities.

 

 

 

 

 

DIESEL RECORD TO BEAT - The Cable and Wireless adventurer was a stunning achievement in 1998, around the world in 75 days. But still the fastest round the world boats are sailing multi-hulls. The Jules Verne (sailing) Trophee is held by Francis Joyon in the IDEC Sport in 41 days, set in 2017. These are tough records to beat. They do not happen overnight. They are the result of years of fine tuning and waiting for ideal conditions. Not to mention having a team with persistence and backing. Unfortunately, though the clipper ships of old (Like the Cutty Sark) managed incredible times to deliver spices and silks, sail power cannot provide reliable container ship deliveries. Where conventional bunker fuels are being outlawed, one solution is clean, green and renewable hydrogen.

 

 

 

It has taken more than 15 years for this design to evolve from a very small (flotation, centre of buoyancy) model boat some 200mm long, to our 2.8 meter proof of concept ideal. The build of the 44 meter ship should take no longer than 6-9 months.

 

The JVH2 HydroRacer™ is more than a high-performance vessel; it's a beacon of innovation with the potential to revolutionize the maritime industry, in the potential to scale up the technology for cargo carriers and cruise liners. By embracing this technology, we can collectively navigate towards a cleaner, more sustainable future for the world's oceans.

The JVH2 SolarSport™ stands at the forefront of a revolutionary shift in maritime transportation. This project not only showcases the viability of hydrogen technology but also presents a unique opportunity for governments, fleet operators, and oil-producing nations to embrace a sustainable future without the need for drastic measures, aligning with the International Maritime Organization's (IMOs) emission reduction goals.

 

 

 

 

SOLAR RECORD TO BEAT - On the 27th of September 2010 Tūranor PlanetSolar started on a journey around the world from Monaco. With this expedition, the initiators of the project aimed to focus the public awareness on the importance of renewable energies for environmental protection. After 584 days, Tūranor PlanetSolar returned to Monaco on 4 May 2012 having sailing around the globe. According to the famous record book: "The longest journey by boat on solar power only is 32,410 nautical miles (60,023 km; 37,296 miles), by MS TŪRANOR PlanetSolar (Switzerland), which circumnavigated the world in a westward direction leaving Monaco on 27 September 2010, passing through the Panama Canal and returning to Monaco after 1 year 7 months and 7 days of navigation, on 4 May 2012, to be included in the Guinness Book of World Records. The Elizabeth Swann team aim to beat this long-standing world record, by not fueling with hydrogen, and only running on power from the sun, using the advanced tracking system to capture incoming solar radiation.

CLIMATE CRUSADER™ - The above table illustrates one of the most likely ocean awareness expedition routes, known as the 'Sunshine Route,' showing the time elapsed in days for 7 knots average cruising speed, including times for 5 and 6 knot averages - allowing for 10% downtime and 36 days in ports. Hence, although the objective is to reduce the current solar circumnavigation record from 584 days, the event in not an outright non-stop yacht competition in the offshore racing sense. It remains to be seen how accurate such a prediction might be. In this table we only allowed 36 days for provisioning and PR but added a 10% contingency for servicing, that could be used for additional time in ports. As a Climate Changing event, performance is one of the main criteria, especially concerning the possibilities for a transition to low carbon shipping and the contribution this might make in combating global warming.

CLIMATE CRUSADER™ - This is a similar route, save for stops in port for the provision of hydrogen bunkering at three location en-route, with a full tank at the starting line in Gibraltar.

 

 

 

Experience the pinnacle of guilt-free luxury at sea. Our adaptable craft combines cutting-edge solar and hydrogen energy with indulgent design for an unparalleled experience that leaves no trace on our precious oceans, allowing private island expeditions with zero carbon footprints.

 

Scaling this technology for larger vessels presents additional opportunities and considerations for investors.

 

The rewards of contributing to these projects also generates immense personal satisfaction from knowing your investment supports the larger cause of combating climate change and promoting clean energy solutions.

Backers gain from building a legacy, that participating in a record-breaking achievement leaves a lasting bequest, and contributes to a positive environmental impact. In addition, your involvement can inspire others, encouraging broader participation in the transition to clean energy while fostering a sense of collective responsibility towards environmental sustainability.

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

It was Jules Verne, who in 1874, first proposed water as an energy source, in The Mysterious Island. If we are able to move quickly enough, we could mount a World Hydrogen Challenge on the 150th anniversary of his prediction, in 2024 - with the world's fastest & largest hydrogen ship.

 

 

 

The Elizabeth Swann will be a technology showcase. The ship is also to be used for filmwork, in and around Egypt, to include the River Nile. The prow on the Elizabeth Swann could feature the Cleopatra figurehead, and the stern could be adorned with relief's and an Egyptian styled mask in gold including the famous blue enamel, the artwork for which could be something like, or based on that above.
