Kite-powered Cargo ship

August 19th, 2008        

As known, oil prices are going up and some companies are finding ways to save on this. The DHS cargo company has come out with the kite-powered cargo ship project (that reminds me something of kite-powered). The company that made the SkySails system said that it will help in reducing 30-percent of the oil consumption on a cargo vessel.

Wow 30-percent, that’s a lot, I wondered if I can put a mini version of this kite system on my car, I’m sure it saves more.

Video after the break.

    Lol…but 1 thing is sure some tool will be used to drive car instead of using oil in future.
