this week. is it a boat or is it a plane? i m onboard the ferry that can fly. why has nobody made an electric hydrofoil flying ferry before? i think the main reason is that it s freaking hard. we re in india, where solar dryers are battling food waste. and an eye in the sky on energy use. nice outfit, by the way. thanks. i ve been taking the temperature with the world s thermometer to assess the climate impact of all our actions. stockholm, capital of sweden, and a city of islands, 1a of them to be precise, which makes water transport a big thing around these parts. so today i ve decided to take the ferry. but this is no ordinary ferry because this ferry. ..can fly. this is the candela p 12, the prototype of a ferry which should go into service injuly 202a. and at its cruising speed of 25 knots, narrow wings called hydrofoils, provide huge amounts of lift. in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surfac
brian kilmeade will be here tos talk politics. [laughter] so last night i came across an interview with former fbi profiler mary ellen o toole, and she backs up something that i ve been ranting about every times bad stuff like this happens. he told the daily mail that nashville and everyone else should brace for copycat events due to the inevitable contagionw effecthe caused by the media,s adding, quote: threats increase in schoolss of nationwide aftera shooting has occurred anywhere in thes u.s. sadly, evil seems to inspire more evil. it s the same reason they keepvi l.making more sex in the city movies. [laughter] but media helps.[l now, sheau knows this to be true because after the columbine shootings in 99, the fbi studied 18 previous school shootings and found that the copycat influence was real in all of them. turns out, mass shooters are as unoriginal as they are disgusting. and why? because info on these fiends becomes instantly available in minute detail, and what d
and at its cruising speed of 25 knots, narrow wings called hydrofoils, provide huge amounts of lift. in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surface. i ve started to notice more and more boats and even windsurfs and kite surfs having these foils underneath the board, so the entire thing can lift out of the water. and because hardly any of the boat is having to push through the water, it doesn t need as powerful a motor. and that means there s something else that s very special about this craft. it s electric. these small propellers are all that are needed to get the ferry up to speed and its onboard batteries give it a range of 50 nautical miles, all of which promises to make waterborne transport a whole lot cleaner and a whole lot greener. normal boats consume an awful lot of fuel and they are extremely inefficient, compared to land based transport. and this is because the boat is trying to push its w
to keep it perfectly balanced. why has nobody made an electric hydrofoil flying ferry before? i think the main reason is that it s freaking hard. spencer laughs. over 70 countries have commitments to net zero targets. some are enshrined in law. others are goals laid out in policy. large companies have also made net zero pledges. but how do we know that they re being met? well, there s one company that might have the answer. satellites have been capturing images from space for decades. this is a radar one here. you ve also got optical images like these. any cloud cover around and you won t see what s going on beneath. and you need daylight for most of these. but satellite vu has a different plan. for them, it s all about thermal imaging. engines at full power. and liftoff of transporter a. go falcon, go transporter. its first satellite, hotsat 1, was launched injune on a spacex rocket flying out of california. it started sending back high resolution images to earth, its therma
