Thank you for watching, Mind's Eye Design!
Rubbish tossed into landfills and covered over is a problem the world over.
The Sarvo 37 is a luxury powerboat cruiser built entirely from recycled plastics and aluminum.
The extremely lightweight hull means that speed is never too far away.
The bow is designed to cut through the water, like a great silver knife, and travel at speeds
over 70 knots or 80mph.
A pace that feels so much faster on the water than it does in your car on the freeway.
If you're after a pleasant cruise, then expect to travel a max distance of 100 nautical miles
on a single charge at a respectable 20 knots – courtesy of a high output 1,280hp electric motor.
Luxury isn't just plush seating, decorative woodgrain panels, and glasses of champagne.
It's also no stinky diesel fumes and no noisy internal combustion engines.
The allure of the Sarvo 37 is the sheer lack of noise – you can actually hold a conversation
while traveling along across the rolling waves.
The 350kWh battery takes only an hour to charge, and the 18% more efficient propulsion system
was designed in part by the chief engineer at Koenigsegg, a company known for creating
innovative and record-breaking motor vehicles.
Ever wanted your very own armored personnel carrier?
If so, what if it was able to float?
The Marvel 41 Passenger Armoured looks like something a Bond villain would cruise around
in on the high seas.
It can hold up to 18 people inside a fully air-conditioned cabin robust enough to repel
automatic rifle shells.
It's specifically designed to navigate dangerous environments or hostile situations.
A quick getaway comes by way of a pair of beast mode engines – 2 x 425hp 6.7L Cummins diesel.
It's a boat built to bulldoze through the opposition like a battering ram.
The need to curb greenhouse emissions has moved from the bustling roads to the airways
and now to ocean-going vessels as well.
The e5 Tanker is a bit of a contradiction – it's a zero-emissions fuel supply ship
that feeds fossil fuels into others.
The aim here is to remove the need for conventional fuel from at least part of the fleet.
As the technology improves, then begin to roll it out on larger and larger vessels.
There are already battery-operated jet skis, boats, and ferries.
The sea freight industry will be the next to cut the fossil fuels umbilical cord and
shift into zero-emissions electric.
The e5 itself is 203 feet long, so not small by any means.
Corvus Energy will supply the two massive 1,740kWh Orca ESS lithium-ion battery units
with a set of 2 Azimuth Thrusters packing 300KW each.

I'm Allie and it's Mind's Eye Trivia Time.
By looking at just these images, do you know what this is and where it's from?
Leave the correct answer or your best guess in the comment section below.
What would you get if you combined the acceleration of a superbike with a fast-charging battery
system and shoehorned it all into a 400lb package?
The answer – the FLLOW motorcycle.
A 48hp electric motor provides 750nm of instantly available torque to punch out some serious numbers.
The max speed may only be 85mph, but it's not how fast the FLLOW ends up.
It's how quickly it gets there.
It can make the 0-60mph sprint in a blisteringly fast 2.7 seconds.
That's as fast as a Nissan GTR or a Lamborghini Aventador and faster than the impressive BMW
K1300S superbike.
The Freestyle series of cars are pretty damn cool.
Picture the lovechild of a Ferrari and a Tesla, but designed to go crazy fast on slippery
dirt roads.
Sound fun?
BAM is an early-stage start-up company that looks to forge the efficiency and lower environmental
impact of electric vehicle technology into a high-performance frame built solely for
the weekend warrior.
The UTV design brief was based on mini off-road truck racing in mod karts.
Where they circle around a track NASCAR style and hit mini dirt jumps similar to Motocross racing.
The DNA of this insane form of competitive driving has been carried over to the Freestyle
UTVs – built to go quick on a loose track.
There are currently 3 performance packages available according to their 0-60mph sprint
times – the R101 at 6 seconds, the S102 at 5.5 seconds, and the fastest, the E103
at sub 5 seconds.
Having absolutely nothing to do with paddling a boat, the Canoo All-Electric Pickup Truck
is built with the tradesman in mind.
It has powered workbenches, tool storage, and a modular expandable bed for carrying materials.
Oh yeah, and it doesn't burn fossil fuels which is always a good thing.
The goal was to make a modular and adaptable vehicle, providing maximum interior space
while also supporting a wide range of equipment useful for either work or play.
The Canoo will come out in both a rear-engine option producing 600hp and 745nm of torque
or a mental-sounding dual-engine option – one powering each of the axles.
The adjustable truck bed gains 30 inches of extra length when extended, making it perfect
for carrying timber, pipes, or just a whole bunch of camping gear.
An optional rooftop tent also doubles as a solar panel for charging up on the go.
Sure to be the fastest vehicle on our list, the Aussie Invader 5R was designed by
nutcases down under to do two things – break the sound barrier and hit at least 1,000mph.
It's pretty much a missile on wheels – a huge liquid bi-propellent rocket engine capable
of producing 62,000 pounds of thrust and a mind-bending 200,000 hp.
When topped to the brim with fuel, the Invader 5R weighs a heavy 9 tons, and the fuel load
is sufficient to boost it up to 1000mph from a stop-start in 20 seconds flat.
To date, there have been no successful vehicles that have cracked the magic, grand mark that
is a land speed in excess of 1,000mph.
The man behind the mayhem, Rosco McGlashan, already holds the Australian speed record
of 498.7mph.
He is confident he can double his efforts and beat the current standing record by at
least 240mph. That's a speed of 763mph set 23 years ago in the USA.
Giants of industry, Tecnam and Rolls Royce joined forces to create a partner company
Wideroe to produce high utility, high capability light aircraft platforms.
A greener future and less burning of hydrocarbons is the name of the game here, in a sector
where 74% of flights travel distances less than 170 miles.
Some short flights take as little as 7 minutes, with a substantial number needing just a quarter
of an hour in the air to get to their intended destination.
The P-VOLT chassis is based on the dual propeller Tecnam P2012 traveler aircraft, making it
ideal for short take-off and landing – flexible for even small airstrips.
It will use a zero-emissions approach to hopefully change the face of light passenger planes.
Likewise, the Spirit of Innovation is a different single propeller design that will sport a
powerful 500hp electric motor and the absolute latest lithium-ion energy storage technology.
The drivetrain is so efficient, and the craft's design so aerodynamic that it's expected to
set new world speed records for light aircraft.
Is it a plane, is it a helicopter – who knows?
Why on Earth the Maker needs 3 propellors on each wing is anybody's guess, but it does
give it a certain "wow" factor.
It combines the convenience of a conventionally shaped aircraft with the usefulness of vertical
take-off and landing.
The propeller heads can articulate on rotating arms to be horizontal, lift into the air without
using a runway, and shift to forward-facing to increase speeds as it soars through the air.
This hybrid design can hit a maximum of 150mph and carry its passengers up to 60 miles.
Making it the ideal thing to transport people within the bustling urban environment of a
big city.
It's all-electric too.
The high output 325kw engine cuts out all that loud noise associated with light passenger
aircraft and low flying helicopter rotors.
The Alia-250 by Beta Technologies is an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft
that is being developed to transport patients and transplant organs quickly between hospitals.
Getting design inspiration from the Arctic tern, the longest migrating bird in the world,
the Alia features a twin-tail assembly, angled trusses, dramatically arched wings, and tapered wingtips.
For lift and propulsion, the Alia-250 is fitted with four vertical lift propellers and one
push propeller.
Each of these rotors is turned by two motors, giving redundancy in case of emergency.
While the battery specs and range haven't yet been formally finalized, the Alia-250
has been rumored to be packed full of lithium-ion packs developed in-house.
The operating range is heavily dependent on how much cargo is being carried.
However, Beta have indicated they are aiming for 250 miles or 400 kilometers on a single charge.
