According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Tesla has quietly registered to produce motors for electric airplanes and boats. Originally discovered and reported by Electrek, Tesla filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on December 29 for the production of motors for airplanes and boats. See what the application says for the patent of electric airplane and boat motors.

The trademark application describes the electric automaker’s plans to develop and manufacture aircraft and boat motors:

“The registration of the TESLA™ trademark is intended to cover electric motors that are asynchronous not intended for use in land vehicles; electric aircraft motors; electric motors, namely, synchronous electric motors not intended for use in land vehicles; permanent magnet electric motors; marine electric motors; synchronous motors for driving a common load; toy motors; linear motors.”

While its U.S. program doesn’t reveal much about the motors for airplanes and boats, an international program will. The application lists the international classification as “Class 7,” which falls under the description of “machines and machine tools; motors and electric motors (except for land vehicles); couplings and transmission parts of machines (except for land vehicles)”

Musk Promises Launch of Waterproof Vehicle

Additionally, Musk suggested that the next generation of fully electric pickups, the Cybertruck, would be waterproof and have enough capacity to cross South Bay and Brazos San Diego Pass between Starbase and South Padre Island, Texas. Of course, it may take years for patents and trademarks to work through the system, so there is no timeline for when Tesla might implement these designs into current or future products. However, Musk proposed several unorthodox modes of travel for Tesla vehicles, including the potential capability of hovering for the Roadster.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Petrobras is expected to complete the drilling of the Morpho well in the Foz do Amazonas in August 2026, the first well in the Equatorial Margin, an oil frontier that the ANP estimates at more than 30 billion barrels and could redraw the map of Brazil.

The Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world, is drying up due to climate change and no one can stop the loss: evaporation could lower the level by up to 21 meters this century and turn ports in Kazakhstan, such as Aktau, into desert.

The Amaterasu particle, a cosmic ray with energy millions of times greater than that of the world’s largest accelerator, hit the Earth coming from the Local Void, a region of space that is practically empty where, in theory, there should be nothing capable of creating it.

During the construction of the world’s highest bridge, the Huajiang Bridge in China, engineers discovered a giant aquifer and turned what would have been a serious problem into a 625-meter artificial waterfall, an engineering feat that no one had planned.

The YouTuber Mark McCann bought a Bugatti Veyron for almost $1.2 million, but discovered that the supercar’s gearbox is so damaged that even Bugatti itself won’t accept to repair it, and the repair could cost a fortune.
