What do a duck, a rooster, and a sheep have to do with the Olympic Flame currently burning in Paris? 🦆 If you haven't yet seen it, this year's Olympic Cauldron is actually a floating hot-air balloon that carries a ring of fire with it - powered for the first time by 100% renewable electricity. 🔥 Its location is the exact location in the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris from where the Montgolfier’s launched their first balloon in 1783, so it is as important to the birth of aviation as Kitty Hawk, North Carolina from where that incredible small team of Wilbur and Orville Wright worked from. The team behind the first hot-air balloon, brothers Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier, had a novel idea to prevent putting themselves at risk; placing three farm animals – a duck, a rooster, and a sheep – into a basket attached to the balloon. This unusual assortment of animals set the first altitude and distance record, achieving a flying height of 6,000 feet (1.8 km), and covering a distance of one mile.   Next was a manned hot-air balloon flight. But the Montgolfier brothers didn’t fly in it. They built the balloon for it, and then wisely turned the task over to two brave men, Jean-Francois Pilâtre de Rozier and Francois Laurent who amazed the citizens of Paris as they floated above them.

Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo NEWS: The UIM E1 Series World Championship, the world’s first all-electric race boat series, is rolling out a new sustainability-focused league to run alongside its racing competition. The E1 Blue Impact Championship league table will challenge teams to drive positive impact by mobilizing society to reverse the effects on ocean and aquatic ecosystems. The initiative, which is being trailed this season before rolling out in season two, will see the Championship’s nine teams compete to become the E1 Impact Champion. To climb the rankings, teams must undertake activities such as support for aquatic conservation and restoration programs, and helping advance research and technology to protect marine habitats. At the end of each season, beginning with the current season, fans will vote for the team to be named Blue Impact Champion. These votes, which account for a third of the total score, will be supplemented with the votes of an expert jury, made up of ocean scientists and conservationists, who will account for the remainder of the score. “The launch of the E1 Blue Impact Championship provides a blueprint and pathway for each of our participating teams to become active partners in our mission and for them to be acknowledged for their innovations and inventiveness in supporting appropriate initiatives,” said professor Carlos M Duarte, E1 chief scientist and E1 Blue Impact Championship committee chair. “It’s an exciting challenge for both us and the teams and provides a new and progressive arena in which to compete.” https://lnkd.in/e5TQ4y5e

https://lnkd.in/dN9piHmY Why invest in innovative marine technology? 1. Environmental benefits: Investing in innovative marine technology can help address environmental concerns such as pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction. For example, technologies like sustainable aquaculture systems and advanced waste management systems can minimize the impact on marine ecosystems. 2. Economic opportunities: The marine technology sector offers significant economic opportunities. Investing in innovative technologies can lead to the development of new industries and generate jobs. This includes sectors such as offshore renewable energy, marine biotechnology, and autonomous underwater vehicles. 3. Energy diversification: With the world increasingly looking for alternatives to fossil fuels, investing in innovative marine technology can contribute to energy diversification. Technologies like offshore wind farms, tidal energy, and wave energy systems have the potential to provide clean and renewable energy sources. 4. National security: The oceans play a crucial role in national security, including defense, surveillance, and maritime transportation. Investing in technologies that enhance maritime security, such as autonomous systems for surveillance and underwater communication, can bolster national security capabilities. 5. Scientific research: Innovative marine technology can significantly enhance scientific research and exploration of the oceans. Technologies like remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), submersibles, and oceanographic instruments enable scientists to study marine biodiversity, climate change impacts, and oceanographic phenomena. 6. Human well-being: Investing in marine technology can contribute to the well-being of coastal communities and enhance their resilience to climate change and natural disasters. Technologies like coastal management systems, early warning systems for tsunamis, and desalination plants can improve the quality of life and safety of coastal populations. Overall, investing in innovative marine improves the marine environment.#marinesustainability #arivoonline Arivo Fz LLC Arivo.online

I constantly have to explain that we have traffic lights in cities mostly because of the motorised vehicles. The result is the annoying disruption of pedestrian and cyclists movement. With 30 km/h in cities would be less traffic lights necessary.

Imagine a world where the gentle hum of electric engines replaces the roar of fossil fuels—a world where boating is not just a pastime, but a testament to sustainable living. At E-Force, this vision is not just a dream; it's our roadmap. With a clear path forward, we're steering the course of boating into the future era of clean, electric innovation. Join us as we navigate this exciting journey, where every wave we ride brings us closer to a brighter, greener tomorrow. #EForce #ElectricBoating #InnovationAtSea #ElectricVehicles #SustainableTransportation #ElectricTransportation #ElectricBoat #Sustainability

The Climate Friendly Aviation Technologies (#ClimAvTech) cluster of EU-funded research projects will be featured at the 2025 AIAA SciTech Forum! A special session will be held on 9 January from 9h30 to 11h30 (US Eastern time zone). After an introduction by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, the following projects will provide an overview of their objectives, approach and achievements to date: HESTIA Project | HOPE Horizon Europe project | HYLENA Project | TRIATHLON project | EXFAN | BeCoM | MYTHOS - Horizon Europe | EFACA| FFLECS project | FlyECO Project | The session will be co-chaired by Niclas Dotzauer (German Aerospace Center (DLR) and HESTIA coordinator Dr. Guillaume J. J. Fournier (Safran). #AIAASciTech https://lnkd.in/guyNYr9

"The foil is key to breaking the record" - explains Benoit Gaudiot, COO and SP80 kite pilot. The updated hydrofoil design – according to calculations - prevents instability from cavitation, enabling a sailboat to exceed the current speed record. "This is a crucial step for us", Xavier Lepercq, CTO of SP80 emphasizes. "In the world of sailing, the fastest boats are all confronted with a physical underwater phenomenon: cavitation. This is comparable to the sound barrier in aviation. To exceed 60 knots, we need foil shapes that are very different from what we can see today in the America's Cup and in the sailing world; the constraints are not the same. If our boat can overcome this barrier, we can not only rival Vestas Sailrocket II but surpass it."
