Tag Heuer has provided the Tag Heuer Sport Vision `Physics’ sunglasses that have been modified to incorporate a microdisplay system into them.

What if your boat could ride the waves… and ride the winds too? A Hydrofoil is a boat with wing-like foils mounted on struts below the hull. As the craft increases its speed the hydrofoils develop enough lift for the boat to become foilborne – i.e. to raise the hull up and out of the water.
This results in a great reduction in drag and a corresponding increase in speed.
Purpose Of The HydrofoilThere are many purposes for hydrofoils. The main reason people install hydrofoils onto their watercraft is to decrease …
NIGEL IRENS developed the iLAN trimaran concept following experience with sailing racing multihulls. It is based on the use of a slender hull with transverse stability provided by small outer hulls. For a given load the concept offers exceptional fuel economy, speed and comfort.

While most boats on the water today are powered by diesel engines, and sail power and gasoline engines are also popular, it is perfectly feasible to power boats by electricity too..
Electric boats were very popular from the 1880s until the 1920s, when the internal combustion engine took dominance.
