Wandering Ark
Wandering Ark is a concept for a hydrogen powered trimaran designed as a floating habitat at sea. The hull combines a trimaran form with an X bow shape to provide strong stability in different sea conditions. A large superstructure offers living space for residents. Solar, wind and wave systems collect energy, and a seawater hydrogen production system stores hydrogen on board. Fuel cells convert the stored hydrogen into electricity for propulsion and daily use. Water is the only emission of the process, so the vessel reaches zero emissions.
