speedboat yg didesign oleh Criag Loomes Design from New Zealand ni merupakan sebuah tri-hull wavepiercer which was built specifically to break the record of a powerboat.. the Eartrace was an advanced endurance vessel, capable of submarining up to 7m underwater with top speed of 50knots(92.6km/h)..it uses a 1080hp Cummins Mercruiser engine to operate.. mende paling awesome tntng boat ni ialah it can travel up to 24000 km at 6 knots on one tank of biodiesel..WTF!!?? that's half way across the globe.. damn, got to get me one of these... another WTF thing bout this boat is that it uses 100% biodiesel of SOYA BEAN which is totally renewable..damn it..

next year InsyaAllah, aku akan ke nihon(jepun) tok sambung blaja dalam bidang mechanical eng.. aku ni sejak kecik mmng minat laut ngan kapal.. so if all goes well, aku akan masuk Tokai University n amek course Naval Architecture n Ocean Engineering.. kat c2 aku leh blaja tentang pembuatan kapal di Jepun..doa2 kan la aku yeh kawan2..

so 2day i wanna talk about dis new ship design from Japan.. as u all know, orng Jepun ni mmng kepala hotak eco-friendly so ape2 technology jorng mesti ade element environment friendly.. so the ship i'm talking about is the ISHIN-II ferry.. kapal ni dibina oleh MITSUI OSK lines n its for passenger n cargo transportation..

whats so green about this ship is that it uses a Contra-Rotating Propeller(rotation in opposite direction)  system with a diesel engine n electric motor.. the great thing about the CRP is that it uses one engine to drive two propellers..the CRP will have no rotating airflow, pushing a maximum amount of water through the propeller disk resulting in high performance and low energy loss..


slain 2, kapal ni gak ade taruk solar panel kat tiap tingkap kabin.. kapal ni gak menggunakan air lubrication technology to reduce friction n collect n recirculate air.. the bottom of the ferry will be painted with ultra-low friction coating to create a smooth surface that reduce friction..nice..

aku baru teringat pasal dis one plane i saw in Transformer 2: revenge of the fallen yg dr dulu aku nak share ngan orng.. its dis one bad-ass looking multi-function tiltrotor aircraft the Bell-Boeing V22 Ospray.. as u all know, helicopter ni kelebihan dia ialah its capability to do short, vertical takeoff and landing..tp top speed average hanya sekadar 250 kmph.. thats pretty slow.. so in 1980, the US military took the best of both plane n helicopter to make the V22 Ospray.. kat plane jorang pasang 2 enjin Rolls-Royce Allison yg mampu menghasilkan lebih 6000 hp..damn.. the V22 Ospray can go over 470 kmph..nice
