>> I'd also include geothermal generators taking advantage of the thermal difference between the water and the air
Adding geothermal generators to the floating solar farm with wave and wind generators could further enhance the project's viability and increase its potential for energy production. Geothermal generators could take advantage of the thermal difference between the water and the air to generate electricity, making use of another renewable energy source. This addition could also increase the novelty of the project, making it a more attractive option for investors and potential customers.
>> The energy produced will be stored in submersible batteries so cooling is not needed and the batteries will be exchanged with autonomous boats to deliver the energy to where it is needed. The boats will use sails when possible.
Storing energy in submersible batteries and using autonomous boats to deliver the energy to where it is needed is an innovative and eco-friendly solution. The use of sails on the boats when possible also adds to the project's sustainability. However, there may be some logistical and technical challenges to overcome in terms of battery exchange and maintenance, as well as ensuring the safety and efficiency of the autonomous boats.
To improve the viability rating from 3 out of 5 to 5 out of 5, more information on the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the battery exchange and autonomous boat delivery system would be needed, as well as any potential regulations or permits required for operating such a system. Additionally, a detailed plan for maintenance and repair of the submersible batteries and autonomous boats would also increase the viability of the project. Finally, showcasing successful pilot tests or case studies would help demonstrate the potential of the project and increase its marketability and overall rating.
>> The boats are made from renewable bamboo wood and cork from wine bottles. The solar panels would also help with global warming by blocking the sun's rays from the oceans and lakes.
To improve the viability rating from 2 out of 5, more information is needed on the cost-effectiveness of using renewable bamboo wood and cork from wine bottles as materials for the boats, as well as the durability and longevity of these materials in harsh aquatic environments. Additionally, the feasibility and efficiency of using solar panels to block the sun's rays from the oceans and lakes needs to be further explored and tested. Providing data and research on the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of these materials and technologies would increase the viability rating of the project.
>> instead of chemical batteries, produced energy will be stored in the form of compressed or heated water tanks so the environmental impact of sinking boats is minimized. Also the overall cost of the batteries is minimized.
The idea of using compressed or heated water tanks to store energy is not a new concept, and has been explored by some researchers and companies. However, it may not be as marketable as traditional battery storage due to the current lack of infrastructure and technology to support it. Additionally, the idea of minimizing the environmental impact of sinking boats is a good one, but it is unclear how this technology would be implemented on boats and whether it would be practical and cost-effective. The viability of this idea is also questionable, as compressed or heated water tanks may not be able to store energy as efficiently as chemical batteries. Furthermore, the idea lacks details on how the energy will be generated and how the system will be maintained. To improve this idea, more research and development would be needed to address the technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness of using compressed or heated water tanks for energy storage on boats. Additionally, more information is needed on how the system would be implemented and integrated with other energy sources on the boat. A clear and detailed plan for energy generation and storage, as well as maintenance and upkeep, would also be necessary for the idea to be more viable.
Why not produce green hydrogen at the solar farm and store it in tanks that weigh less so that drones can deliver the hydrogen to the shoreline or to boats just offshore for safety reasons. Or use old school dirigibles. then converted to energy at the shore.
Who in their right mind would ever consider investing in a floating solar farm with wave and wind generators? This so-called "groundbreaking idea" is nothing but a logistical and financial nightmare. The idea of incorporating geothermal generators and submersible batteries for energy storage is just absurd. It's not like there are already established and reliable methods for storing renewable energy, right? And don't even get me started on the use of autonomous boats for delivery and renewable materials for construction. Who cares about sustainability and eco-friendliness? Certainly not the people behind this ridiculous project. And let's not forget about the so-called "feasibility and cost-effectiveness" of using compressed or heated water tanks for energy storage. It's not like there are already established and proven methods for energy storage that are much more reliable and cost-effective.
And what about the environmental impact? The idea of using solar panels to block the sun's rays is just laughable. How is that supposed to reduce the impact on marine life? And what about the ecological balance of the area? It's clear that the people behind this project have no regard for the environment or the potential harm they could cause.
Furthermore, the idea of a floating solar farm with wave and wind generators is just impractical. How are they supposed to keep the farm in place during rough weather conditions? And what about maintenance and repairs? It's not like it's easy to access a floating platform in the middle of the ocean.
Maybe instead of energy storage on the boats, salt water could be desalinated at the solar farm and fresh water transported back to shore. That eliminates the need to store energy during transport and convert it on shore. What other process could be done locally at the solar farm?
The risk of storm damage or theft makes me wonder what the cheapest and least damaging construction could be. Maybe reviewing ancient Indian rafts build from natural materials.
While I appreciate the use of renewable materials for the boats, have you considered the environmental impact of using cork from wine bottles? The production of cork requires a significant amount of water and energy, and harvesting cork can also damage ecosystems. It may be worth exploring alternative materials that are more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact.
