This environment-friendly catamaran named GO2 is designed to cross along the river Thames. GO2 will be powered entirely by electricity, providing entertainment and transport for up to 40 VIP guests attending concerts and other events at the O2 arena, London.
This catamaran generates electricity for itself, being quipped with a piezoelectric dance floor . Using the kinetic energy, the boat’s batteries will be charged by the people who are dancing on the floor. Two electric motors are powered by these batteries one on each hull, maintaining high efficiency over a wide range of speeds. I must to say that all the materials used in this boat are recyclable.
