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

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.

BYD produces up to 4,400 cars per day and one vehicle every 20 seconds at its largest factory in Xi’an, surpasses Tesla in industrial pace, leaves Volkswagen far behind in pure electric vehicles, and consolidates China as the birthplace of the world’s largest electric car manufacturer.

While cities suffocate with smoke and fields burn worthless straw, India transforms sugarcane bagasse, non-recyclable plastic, and agricultural residue into bricks to build cheaper rural housing.

With 50 tons of plastic waste, a 30-meter bridge was assembled over a river in Scotland. It seems like an ordinary construction, but it doesn’t use traditional wood or steel and can even be disassembled.

Without concrete, without traditional cleaning, and without common separation, a block made of recycled plastic transforms problematic waste into a rigid piece for walls and structures.

With 1,500 plastic bottles and bamboo, a simple, triangular house transforms into an emergency shelter, born from urban waste, can be assembled collectively, and can be an option in remote areas and humanitarian crises.
