Swiss holding company Floating Life presented sketches of the first yacht in the electric go - "Project Ganto». While even finally approved the design of the future sverhekologichnogo vessel, however, as the company says, for this will not be found. "The project is conceived as Ganto yacht with minimal harmful effects, by which we mean the harmful emissions and discharge of waste - says the head of Floating Life Andrea Pezzini. - All of these harmful emissions are reduced to a minimum. We dream of a future for the sea and the environment. This project will require a lot of time and money, but we do it for our children's future. " The epitome of the Bureau of ideas Roberto Starkelya in Trieste, apply new structural approaches to the design of yachts. It is engaged in the design of interiors Filippo Rossi. As the creators say, they used all the currently existing "green" technology. The vessel will be equipped with high-performance batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, axial generators, fuel cells - in short, all sorts of alternative sources of electricity. And the ship is designed so the expectation to be able to upgrade it, when suddenly the science invent something new. "We started with the existing technical capabilities, but in the process of building a yacht for two or three years we can achieve even better results than originally planned," - says engineer and shipbuilder Filippo Rossi.
