Wind and Solar Powered Cronos Yacht is Made of Bamboo Panels

We're not completely sold on the excess so often associated with yachting, but <a href="http://titans88.blogspot.com/">Simone Madella</a> and <a href="http://lorenzo-berselli.blogspot.com/">Lorenzo Berselli</a> have designed the wind and solar powered Cronos yacht that is made almost entirely out of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo">bamboo panels</a>. Still in the design concept, this svelte machine will glide through the water without leaving behind a trail of gas fumes, and very little waste is involved in the construction process.

This amazing Cronos Yacht defies the excess so often associated with the sport

The boat is solar and wind powered

It is made almost entirely out of bamboo panels

Halite walls in the engine room capture excess heat and convert it back into energy

The design calls for two electric engines

Solar glass panels and a wind belt generate additional energy for the interior
