CONCEPT
2000 STAND
Back in 1994 this was a radical concept that premiered at the Earl's Court
show in London. The SWATH boat on display was a 1-10th scale radio
controlled working model of the Mk1 SolarNavigator. You can see the route
map behind the exhibitor, which is the same route that the Turanor
Planetsolar completed some 18 years later.
MkI
SWATH model retired at the end of 1996 in favour of the more advance MkII.
Just about everything worked on these models. The steaming lights, foghorn and
even the radar turned. Dozens of visitors signed a book recording their
comments on the project. The MKII was wider, so more stable and a joy to pilot
when the trim was correctly adjusted. The adjustment though was difficult to
balance on the MKI. This model was cannibalized to build the MKII, but should
have been donated to the Child Beale collection in hindsight.
The
organizers of the London Boat show provided a place on the Concept 2000
stand on a complimentary basis, in conjunction with the British Marine Industries
Federation. The exhibition stand consisted of a treasure chest made from
discarded pallets with a built in rotating turntable powered by a modified
windscreen wiper motor with fan assisted cooling to enable the display to
operate all day without mishap. In addition, the rotation swept a circle
of micro-switches inside the treasure chest that lit up the route on the
map display standing behind. This gave visitors the opportunity to see the
ship from all angles.
Many
event organizers seek to assist future, or concept projects by way of a
philanthropic agenda. Invariably, such projects are not commercial in
orientation, thus financially challenged, and as such would never get off
the ground if the boating community did not help.
The
Solarnavigator at Beale Park, founded by Gilbert Beale in 1956. The Park
overlooks the Jubilee Water Gardens. The Pavilion boasts a collection of model boats and
planes has become a museum with more than 400 models from the Merchant Navy and sailing boats dating back to the 1890’s.
The Park is happy to accept donations to its model collection. Contact them

The
key to accurate hydrographic mapping is continuous monitoring,
for which the SNAV
platform, presently under development, is a robotic ocean workhorse. Based on a stable
SWASH
hull this design is under development by a consortium of British
engineers. The robot
ship uses no diesel fuel to monitor the oceans autonomously (COLREGS
compliant) at relatively high
speed 24/7 and 365 days a year - only possible with the revolutionary (patent) energy harvesting system. The
hullform is ideal for automatic release and recovery of ROVs
or towed arrays, alternating between drone and fully autonomous modes.
International development partners are welcome. We are not at this
time bound by contract to any one country. This vessel
pays for itself in fuel saved every ten years.
