Flying Cars and Autonomous Vehicles Always Draw Attention at the CES Gadget Show in Las Vegas, but This Year Electric Hydrofoil Boats Are Making Even Bigger Waves.

The Swedish company Candela presented 28-foot (8.5 meters) electric hydrofoil boats that can cruise at 20 knots (about 23 mph) for over two hours. The California startup Navier is trying to surpass its Scandinavian rivals by launching a slightly longer electric hydrofoil, although Candela has gone further by bringing its product to customers.

Even the recreational boat group Brunswick Corporation tried to make a splash in Nevada this week, showcasing its latest electric outboard motor – a growing segment of its fleet primarily powered by gasoline.

Why Choose Electric Hydrofoil Boats?

One of the main reasons to choose electric hydrofoil boats is the environment and cost savings as fuel prices rise fuel. But electric boats – especially with sleek foil designs that lift their hulls above the water at higher speeds – also provide smoother and quieter rides.

Electric Ferries Should Also Enter the Scene

Both Candela and Navier are planning a secondary market for electric ferries that can compete with gasoline-powered vehicles currently transporting passengers in densely populated areas, such as the Stockholm archipelago or along the San Francisco Bay coastline.

Many of the companies developing electric boat propulsion systems also have teams working to make these vehicles more autonomous. But since most sailors prefer to drive their own boats – and most ferry passengers would likely prefer a human captain at the helm – autonomous innovations are focused on what happens at the marina.

Electric Ferries Should Also Enter the Scene

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Volkswagen admits to Reuters that the value of its cars is falling in Brazil due to the aggressive entry of Chinese companies like BYD, but asserts that it will not enter a price war and believes it is well-positioned to hold back the advance.

How to make charcoal in the backyard using a small oven covered with galvanized sheets and sealed with fine soil, in a traditional Filipino technique called pugon that yields up to one and a half bags of charcoal per burn.

You won’t believe how industrial egg production works in Brazil and the level of technology behind millions of units produced every day.

Material practically banned for almost 90 years makes a strong comeback in construction: made of hemp and lime, it insulates 15 times more than concrete, absorbs CO₂ over the centuries, and challenges an industry that helped push it out of the market.

Small industry sinks to the worst result since the pandemic, as high interest rates, taxes, and expensive inputs crush businesses in Brazil.

The interior of Bahia surges in industry and GDP, reducing the weight of Salvador and transforming the West, Feira de Santana, and Vitória da Conquista into the new economic engines of the state.

While many roads bypass deep valleys, South Africa raises the Msikaba Bridge with 580 meters, a deck at 194 meters high, and a cable-stayed structure that promises to change the N2 Wild Coast route.

While South Korea and Japan try to regain ground in shipbuilding, China is surging as a powerhouse in the sector and already controls almost 90% of global ship orders.
