Final in water

This is a video of the final version of our boat in the Charles River. The sails did not turn because there was barely any wind.

Tri-Sail Generator™

Tyler Ory

Today we worked on lazer cutting our hull and finalizing our 1st version of our Tri-sail Generator™. We were able to lazer cut our base the day before, and finished our electronics on the sail today. Above is 2 pictures of our finalized Tri-sail Generator™. 

Today we decided to change our hull design to make it more "stream-line" and smaller. Our hull has been lazercut and the glue is drying. We have also lazercut a rough design of our underwater turbine that will be mounted on the bottom of our catamaran. Next week we hope to complete our final design before Friday to be able test it on Friday and fix it up. I'll keep you updated! -Tyler :D

Catamaran Hull

Today we worked on building bigger sails and completing our hull. We got our fully glued hull today, and waterproofed it with a sealent. The hull was fully waterproof when we tested it and we connected them together so they could be called a "cat." Tomorrow we plan to make our Tri-sail generator™ produce electricity. :D -Tyler
