Superboat Burns Human Fat to Zip Around World

Check out this sleek-looking 007-inspired boat that is attempting to break a world circumnavigation record; and runs on biodiesel - including the fat of the Captain at the helm!




For the whole story, read the article here.

All I want to know is when will they make a "consumer-version" so I can zip around on my own fat and the fat of all my friends and family.

Very cool...

It already exists. Its called "oars" :-P

Hehe.

Rob.

Yes, very funny... such wit...

What I meant, of course, was a smaller (presumably more affordable) version of the alternatively powered craft in the OP - something to zip across the bay or take out on the lake.

Naturally - having a few oars and maybe some extra oar-handlers on board is a prudent safety back-up...
