This is a perfectly timed bit of PR:

"A shuttle boat powered entirely by the sun is to be launched on the Serpentine lake in London's Hyde Park.

[...]

When not in use and docked, any surplus electricity generated by the boat's solar panels will be fed back into the National Grid."

It's a leisurely 4mph but I'd love to take a trip. It's silent and pollution free, which is quite a change to the hot and stuff train I had to peel myself out of this morning. Reply to this article / Report this article

This is excellent! I love the idea for the use for it and also that surplus energy created isn't wasted. That's great news.
