The Suntory Mermaid II Boat

The Suntory Mermaid II Boat

The Suntory Mermaid II Boat is totally different boat from what’s available in market so far, as it uses waves to power it instead of a motor. This is probably the most eco friendly power source ever since the sail’s introduction. In this boat a couple of fins are located side-by-side, bow are moved by the waves to produce a dolphin-like kicking propulsion movement. The only problem is you’re stuck with a top speed of 5 knots - which is around three times slower than your average diesel ship.
